My son is looking to exchange his BMW estate car for a 7-seater as they are expecting a third child and will need three car seats and room for extra passengers. I was wondering what you would recommend?

Good to drive and comfortable. Versatile with foldaway seats. Generally good quality. Diesel automatic option. Plenty of room in all back seats.

Compact yet can house seven people. Rearmost seats fold into floor. More versatile mid-row seating than previous model. Excellent diesel auto.
