Which quality 7-seat vehicle with prestige would you recommend?

I consider myself a car connoisseur but have hit a brick wall. My wife and I decided to buy one family car with plenty of space, additional seats, some prestige and decent running cost. A Mercedes-Benz estate diesel with additional seats in the boot was my thought. Then we stumbled on a Dodge Journey. It ticked all the boxes and although not prestigious, it is a little different and cheap. Then I drove a Lexus RX 400h. I love the low running costs and quality, but no additional seating. Will I have to build my own hybrid quality 7-seater or have I missed something?

Toyota Alphard hybrid or Toyota Estima hybrid, with the same hybrid drive system as the RX400h. But you will have to import them yourself or buy through an import specialist. A good place to start is www.algysautos.com/mpv.html
