Top 7 Seater Cars for Comfort & Style

Whether you're transporting a growing family, need space for group adventures, or simply enjoy the comfort of a larger cabin, seven-seater cars have become a popular choice for many drivers. Offering a mix of flexibility, comfort and practicality, these vehicles combine luxury and space in one appealing package.

At Saxtons, we stock a range of premium seven-seater options from leading brands. Below, we break down six standout models worth considering.

Mercedes-Benz V-Class

For those who want maximum space with luxury van-level comfort, the Mercedes V-Class stands out as a top-tier people carrier. It’s ideal for families or businesses needing generous passenger space without compromising on comfort or brand prestige.

Inside, you’ll find executive seating, flexible configurations and high-end finishes throughout. Sliding doors make access easy, while the rear rows provide ample legroom for adults as well as children. The V-Class also impresses on long journeys with its quiet ride and composed handling.

Whether you opt for the standard V 220d or the more powerful V 300d, the V-Class is equally suited to family life and professional chauffeur duties.

Land Rover Discovery

The Land Rover Discovery is a premium SUV that blends seven-seat practicality with genuine off-road ability. Unlike many competitors, the Discovery doesn't just offer a spacious interior it can also tackle rough terrain with ease, thanks to Land Rover’s renowned four-wheel-drive systems.

Inside, the Discovery’s layout is cleverly designed to ensure all seven passengers have sufficient room, including those in the third row. The second row slides to allow easier access to the rear, and boot space remains usable even when all seats are in place.

This model is ideal for families who want comfort on the motorway but need the freedom to explore beyond the tarmac.

Mercedes-Benz GLE

The Mercedes GLE offers a more car-like experience than the V-Class, with refined styling and a smooth, confident drive. The third-row seating is available as an option, making the GLE a flexible choice for those who occasionally carry extra passengers.

Cabin quality is exactly what you’d expect from Mercedes, with a minimalist dashboard, dual digital displays and comfortable seating throughout. The rear seats are best suited to children or shorter trips for adults, but the GLE works well as an everyday family SUV that doesn’t sacrifice style or technology.

It’s a great option if you want a luxury SUV with the convenience of seven seats but don’t necessarily need them in use all the time.

Audi Q7

The Audi Q7 remains one of the most well-rounded luxury SUVs on the market. Spacious, refined and well-equipped, it’s a strong contender for families wanting a high-quality seven-seater with understated design and excellent performance.

All Q7's come with seven seats as standard, and Audi has made clever use of space to ensure even the third row is usable for adults on short to medium journeys. With the rear seats folded, the Q7 also boasts one of the largest luggage areas in the class.

The driving experience is smooth and responsive, while the Quattro all-wheel drive system ensures confidence in all weather conditions.

BMW X7

If you want your seven-seater to feel truly luxurious, the BMW X7 delivers in every area. This full-size SUV offers generous space, a commanding driving position and outstanding refinement. It’s one of the few large SUVs where all three rows are comfortable for adults, even on longer trips.

The interior is a standout feature, with high-quality materials, an elegant dashboard and BMW’s latest infotainment system. Engine choices range from efficient diesels to performance-focused petrols and mild-hybrid units.

Despite its size, the X7 handles well and is surprisingly agile for a vehicle of this class. It’s a perfect fit for drivers who want premium comfort for every passenger on board.

Volvo XC90

Volvo’s XC90 is known for its clean Scandinavian design, safety credentials and spacious cabin. It has been one of the most popular seven-seaters in the UK for good reason.

The XC90 comes with seven seats as standard and offers a family-friendly interior with clever storage, soft-touch materials and a bright, airy feel. The third row is suitable for children and shorter adults, while the second row offers slide and recline functions for added comfort.

Volvo’s hybrid options also appeal to eco-conscious buyers, with plug-in variants offering short electric-only driving for local trips.
