Best 7 seater car for 3 kids

[Sourdoughnovice]

We are getting rid of our citreon c4 and need a new 7 seater car for 3 kids in a row in the middle. Budget is max £20k. Any recs please?

@Sourdoughnovice See the other thread! Cheap and cheerful Dacia Jogger. Watch NCap rating and recent amendments. Or Hyundai Sante Fe, VW Touran, Skoda Kodiaq or Kia Sorrento. You should look for used cars as these won’t be £20,000 new excels the Dacia? Many of the best designed 7 seat cars are expensive. A used 7 seat Discovery is a much better engineered car but it will be diesel.

I'm about to buy a VW Sharan for my three. You can get good models for just under 20k. E.g. 2019 plate, 27k miles or 2021 plate, 34 miles at my local dealership.

How old are the kids and do they all need car seats in the middle row?

I have a Dacia Jogger and it's perfect for three kids, but not for three car seats. If you need three isofix mounts you could do worse than a Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Rifter, or Vauxhall Combo Life. The XL versions are the seven seaters, but now only available new as electric vehicles. Plenty of used petrol/diesel ones in yur budget through.
