Car with 3 full seats in the back

17 replies

I need a car with three full seats in the back. Enough for three car seats. Don't need three isofix points.

id prefer 5 rather than 7 seats.

any ideas?

I did a lot of research on this! Ford S-max, Peugeot 5008, Ford Galaxy, Volvo XC90, VW Touraeg, Audi Q7.
Not needing 3 isofix points makes it a bit easier but there's a limited range of vehicles that take 3 proper car seats across the middle. Also depends on what car seats you have and how wide they are.

VW Touran is another one.

S max here. Bloody brilliant.

Loved our Ford Galaxy and just never used the 7 seats. Boot space was handy

Citroen C4 Grand Picasso. If you have 3 kids, there is surely going to be a time when you want to give a lift to one of their friends - the extra 2 seats come in handy on those occasions.

My dc (adults) find the zafira a bit tight when all three are in the back.
However there are the boot seats which they don't mind if we don't need the boot space.
It does have a wonderfully big boot though.

We had a Citroen Grand Picasso too - lovely car to drive.

Avoid Renault scenic like the plague

Ford S-Max, it has 7 seats, I only needed a 5 seater but couldn't find any suitable 5 seaters. I rarely use the boot seats and the big boot is really useful.

Definitely not a Zafira for three full seats.

We have a Zafira - two teens and a 6 year old and they're a bit squished...we need the boot space though so can't keep seats 6/7 up. We're changing car soon.

I think three full seats in the back will be easier to find in a 7-seater. You can just ignore the very back seats if you don't want them.

We have a Ford Galaxy - loads of space. We did a 700-mile round trip with seven adult sized people in it last weekend and everyone was comfortable. We've had/also have the next size-down MPVs such as Zafiras, Tourans etc and there's a big difference if you're the middle adult in the back row.

Please help..
I need a 7 seater car that can fit 3 seats in the back… I don’t mind a 5 seater with 3
full seats or a 7 seater that can fit 2 isofix and a booster.
i have a budget of £7,000-£8,000 and im struggling.
i have a 6 and 2 year old and im due a baby end of august.

Im looking at the zafira tourer just because its in my price range.

ChocoChocoLatte · 04/08/2024 14:59

Citroen grand Picasso or Ford galaxy

Scrambledchickens · 04/08/2024 15:07

Smax
lovely to drive
5 seats and huge boot with 2 bonus seats if you need them. The vignale version middle seats also recline, great for long journeys

MamaEms18 · 04/08/2024 19:06

I’ve been looking at these cars but I can’t find a decent one in my price range with a nice mileage and good year too.
I would love the s max or the Citroen.
i also like the Volkswagen too but most of them are imports too..
car searching is so much stress lol
