Need a 6/7/8 seater with good boot space - any suggestions?

[edwardcullensotherwoman]

We currently have a Picasso - great boot space - but expecting DC4 so need at least an extra seat!

6 seaters I know are few and far between, but all the 7 seaters I know of seem to compromise on boot space with the 2 additional seats in use.(And I don't like the idea of one of the kids siting right at the back on their own). Our family holidays are always in the UK so need the boot space for luggage/travel cots etc, plus when we're out and about after DC4 is born he/she and DC3 will be in a double buggy (not to mention the older ones wanting scooters/bikes/doll prams etc!)

I'm open to the idea of an 8 seater purely on the basis that they're generally larger vehicles. Neither me or DH are particularly bothered by the overall size ,we've had so many cars in the past we're pretty adaptable!

Can anyone suggest an MPV with boot space to rival the Picasso even with 6/7 passengers?

How about a 3+3 configuration? Fiat Multipla or Honda FRV are the only two I'm aware of. Both have pretty good luggage space.

Yeah I would definitely agree that the Fiat Multipla and Honda FRV are probably the best option, we thought they both offered the best space for the car when we had them in.

Cars like the Land Rover Discovery 7 are also good, but it all depends on the price range your going for.

Hi,
We are soon to be six, with four under 7 so need enough seats plus boot space for a double pram. What did you go for in the end? Thanks

I'd recommend an FR-V, we bought one when DC4 came along, we did a week's holiday with a massive Graco tandem pram and fitted everything in the boot!
A word of warning though, the 2.0 iTec is heavy on petrol, but the boot and cabin space more than make up for it.

Oops, this was my thread

What is your budget?

the best value new 7 seater with a big boot is the Ssangyong Turismo which also comes with a 5 year warranty

Some good deals available on pre-registered cars, see auto trader

you may also find a rare Citroen Berlingo multispace 7 seater, you can remove one of the seats to make it a 6 seater which gives you half of the enormous boot to use.
