List of 7 Seater Cars In Australia

Posted January 29, 2010 in Buying Tips, Latest News and 7 Seater Car News by Melissa Pye

As the family grows you will probably look at your options on what you can get them around in. The good thing is that there is now a wide range of cars available on the market, including medium to large SUVs, mini vans and people movers that can seat up to 8 people.

The vehicles vary from front wheel drives and rear wheel drives to all wheel drives and 4 wheel drives - a bit confusing. Basically, all wheel drives and 4 wheel drives can offer added power and safety as all 4 wheels are being used to move the car. Whether you need a 4 wheel drive will depend on how you intend to use the car. For example, if off-roading is going to be something that you do on a regular basis then a 4 wheel drive could be your most suitable option.

What Models are Popular?
The Kia Carnival has been the top selling people mover in Australia over the past couple of years, while the Honda Odyssey continues to receive accolades from motoring organisations around Australia.

    We need a car that has 4 attachment for baby/children's car seats and fits them in width wise. We currently have a Citron Picasso but doesn't have the 4th in the back. Any suggestions? Thanks

    I'm currently hunting for a 7 seater. I will be rating my choice primarily by price. Do you know of a list of 7 seaters that are listed by price??

  • Melissa  posted 30-01-2010 8:53 am wrote:

    Thanks Asqueroso. We would love to be able to include prices but with the change in laws in relation to advertised price this makes it difficult. This is because the advertised price for cars must be the total cost and include dealer delivery, registration, CTP and stamp duty. Given that these costs vary from state to state for the government statutory charges and vary from dealer to dealer for the delivery charges it is only the dealers that can provide you with the exact cost of a particular model. We are working with manufacturers to be able to provide this important information and will show a RRP where possible.

    I would like to know the cars prices, where can I find them? I really need a bigger car, because I'm thinking about another baby. Melissa, I hope you can provide this information thanks

    Hi. We are looking for a car that will fit 3 car seats. I like the Kluger but the sales people cant tell me if you can fit 3 seats and a baby capsule - nor do they seem to have 3 anchorage points. With kids needing car seats until the age of 7 this must be an issue for other parents. Can you suggest any other cars (7 seaters) that might be good?

    Thanks very much for this list, I've been looking everywhere, you may want to add Mazda MPV.

    Hi Kirsten, The Mitsubishi Grandis is still around. Maybe the dealer you went to didn't have any stock??

  • Sally  posted 10-07-2010 9:11 pm wrote:

    Andrea, we have a Kluger 7 seater and we also have 5kids! teenagers right down to a four year old.... I couldnt rec. the Kluger more. The middle row of seats adjusts to multiple places and the rear storage is much larger than most other 7seaters. YES it does have three anchorage points, along the three middle rows of seats. We love our Kluger! :)
