The Top 7 Seater 4×4 in the UK

For all those of us (myself included) that are in the UK and in the habit of ferrying a large number of passengers on a regular basis, it is made even more convenient while driving a 7 seater 4×4 car. Otherwise known as SUVs, these vehicles are rapidly gaining popularity in the UK especially for individuals with large families. Among the reasons for their rapid rise to popularity include their practicality given that since they are 4WD, no terrain is out of bounds to them. These vehicles also perform excellently both on normal terrain and also when tackling off-road conditions. In addition, these vehicles are very strong, durable and tend to have the benefit of a large cargo space that is ideal for carrying plenty of goods. There is a wide selection of 7 seat 4×4 cars available in the UK market and these vehicles are quite similar with very few considerations separating them. Each scores differently based on price, luxury, comfort and style however. In light of this, when selecting the best 7 seater, comparison of the various models is important to ensure it is the best choice for your ‘people carrier’ alternative. For detailed reviews of many other 4×4′s why not take a look at www.best4x4reviews.com .

Land Rover Discovery 4 – 4×4

Suffice to say that the Land Rover Discovery 4 is considered the best 7 seater 4WD vehicle available in the UK due to their long standing off-roading heritage. There are a number of reasons that set this vehicle apart. To begin with, the Discovery is a spacious car with adequate leg room for all the seven seats. Furthermore, true to the Land rover spirit, the Discovery offers unparalleled off road performance as it does on the tarmac terrain. This is largely due to the full time 4WD with the signature Terrain Response System. The Discovery takes practicability in 7 seater cars to uncharted territory. The Discovery has three rows of seats. Unlike other models, users have experienced very few instances of discomfort in the 3rd row where even adults can fit in even on very long journeys due to its higher height and amble leg room. Its 3.0 litre engine offers a very smooth engine with an 8 speed gearbox that is automatic transmission. A 3 litre engine however does make this a more thirsty and less economical model of 4×4 when considered as a family vehicle.

 

7 Seat Volvo XC90

Another excellent selection of 7 seater four-wheel drive cars is the Volvo XC90. Pioneered in 2003, the XC90 is the realization of fresh ideas employed in the design of the vehicle. It employs the signature design philosophy through which the designer embodies superior build quality, reliability, comfort and safety. The XC90 is a large 7 seater with individual seats with excellent styling. Furthermore, it performs remarkably on the road as a result of the 4WD system.

 

The BMW X5 4 Wheel Drive

The range of BMW X5 vehicles offer excellent 7 seat comfort for large families that have an in-depth appreciation of style and luxury. The BMW X5 does not disappoint in terms of performance on all terrain even when negotiating off-road rugged terrain through which it glides in an elegant poised manner as a result of its 4WD capability. Another aspect that sets the X5 apart from others in its class is the manner in which it is build. Corner braking and terrain braking enhance its build quality. The smooth engine packs a lot of horsepower with the choice ranging from 3-6 liter engines. Riding in an X5 is an indication of the appreciation of superior design and excellent design.

4×4 Mercedes Benz GL With Seats for Seven

The Benz has an excellent diesel engine with 4WD capability, setting it apart from others in its class owing to its excellence in handling the off-road and on road terrain. The fact that the Mercedes Benz GL has managed to fit three rows of seats while maintaining its elegant shape and design is no mean feat. It has a large storage space with enough room for plenty of luggage. It has an excellent top notch leather interior.

 

The Audi Q7 SUV

The Audi Q7 is a rather sporty 7 seater luxury 4WD SUV. However, its performance as a family car can match any other in its field if not outperform them. It has three rows of seats though the third row offers limited leg space hence not ideal for adult seating on long distances. It is however ideal as a family car with teenagers and children seating on the third row. Famed as the Christian Grey car, the Audi experience is unmatched both on the road and in the off the road terrain as a result of the excellent 4WD system.

The choice of our preferred car is not about show casing an individual’s tastes and preferences; adequate thought has to be employed in ensuring that meets the needs of your individual family in terms of practicality, comfort, sturdiness and fuel economy.

    I love my 2006 Volvo xc90 d5 se manual!I had an executive Honda CR-V,which I was quite happy with,when I only had 2 Grandchildren,but then struggled with its lack of practicality when I had 4 two years later!Firstly it had no passenger airbag deactivation switch so I couldn’t place a rear facing baby seat in,then the middle rear seat was so narrow,it took me 20 minutes of in-car gymnastics to put 3 childseats,plus occupants across the back seats!So,it had to go.After 6 months of research,and reviews,I narrowed the choice down to the Volvo xc90,or a Kia Sorento,but in the end,I plumped for the Volvo,as it had more history,and respect for safety,and I felt the Kia was still too new to make a lasting descision.Im so glad I trusted my instincts!No more fiddle faddling trying to get all the Grandchildren in,theres room in there for all of them,plus myself and two willing helpers!Theres even a built- in booster seat in the middle rear seat in the back row,with its own cute,dinky little belt! And it even slides right up to the front seats so the child can feel included more!And it feels as sure footed as a mountain goat.And I feel safe as houses in it.Everyone chooses a car for different reasons,some for performance,some for image,but I chose mine for practicality and comfort and safety,and it ticks all the boxes,and more.I am sure this car will be a keeper!
