Also Consider

  • Ford Galaxy 1995
    True seven-seater that offers an enjoyable, car-like drive.
  • Volkswagen Sharan 1995
    Full seven-seater that drives more like a car than a big people carrier. Classier image than a Ford Galaxy or SEAT Alhambra ever though it's the same.
  • Renault Espace 2002
    Full of kit, comfortable and refined. Very versatile seven-seat layout. Excellent crash test rating.
  • SEAT Alhambra 2010
    Sliding side doors as standard, very spacious with a high quality interior, frugal and low CO2 TDI engines, sister car to the new Volkswagen Sharan but better value.
