There’s a Qashai + 2 model which is a 7 seater.
We have 3 kids and had a Mondeo which fitted 3, now changed to a Mitsubishi L200 (for DPs job as we wanted to combine space of a van with a family car as mine isn’t big enough) and that comfortably fits 3.

The L200 is 4x4. We were everybody’s best friends yesterday in the snow Grin

Totally depends on the age of the kids and the seats they need (or that you are willing to put them in...).

All 3 of mine are under 5 and from all my research there are few cars (other than v high end and a few ££££ 4x4s) that fit this combo safely. We've got a ford Smax. We love it but it's a mum bus. Looking forward to upgrading in a few years to something a bit sleeker!

Thanks all - would be looking second hand and not ££££. Kids are 3,4 and 0

We just got a 7 seater Touran and its great, loads of family friendly features (hands free boot, locking, built in sun shades etc) and isofix for all 5 rear seats. However its not 4x4 and with the rear seats up the boot is small. It works for us as I need to get 4 kids in for the school run so the 4 almost 5 yr old is in the front and the younger 3 are in the middle row keeping the boot seats free to make a large boot.
