Can you recommend an efficient seven seater?

Can you recommend a reasonably efficient, petrol, seven seater? I have about £12,000 - £13,000 to spend. Thanks.

Have you considered a hybrid? The Toyota Prius+ will be very efficient (officially returning a combined 68.9mpg in the old NEDC fuel economy tests) and ought to be very reliable, too. Alternatively, if you'd prefer a conventional petrol, we'd recommend a BMW 218i Gran Tourer. It uses a very characterful (and efficient) 1.5-litre petrol engine. This officially returns 51.4mpg.
