The best seven-seat crossovers and SUVs. Seven-seat crossovers: models, features, main characteristics Are cars with three rows of seats safe?

: V recent years the choice of a cheap seven-seater car has become virtually no alternative. Additionally, this lack of alternative is overshadowed by the inability to choose a car with automatic transmission gears: Largus is equipped exclusively with a five-speed manual, and since the end of last year, the VAZ 21809 has been added to the French JR5. Since its appearance, the model has generally become thoroughly “Russianized”: since 2017, Largus said goodbye to Renault engines and is produced only with VAZ engines - the 87-horsepower eight-valve 11189 and the 16-valve 21129, which produces 106 hp. (the VAZ gearbox is combined with the second one). An advantage can be considered that both engines run on 92-octane gasoline.

Lada Largus "2012–present"

In the seven-seater version, two additional seats are located in the luggage compartment, practically eliminating its volume: instead of 560 liters, the five-seater version with the third row folded down can only get 135. However, the “inexpensive 7 seats” condition is met, and if the third row is used occasionally, then it can be removed. Of course, the backrests can simply be folded down: in this case, the loss in trunk volume will be noticeable, but it will remain functional.

The surcharge for two additional seats is small - 24 thousand. There is just no way to get them in the basic Standard version. In other words, you shouldn’t focus on the base price tag of 591 thousand rubles: to order three rows of seats, you will have to pay 80 thousand more, since the seven-seater version appears only in the Norma Climate package for 667 thousand rubles. However, it will not have a passenger airbag and an audio system - for them you need to turn to the Norma Comfort version for 682 thousand. With a more powerful 16-valve engine, the three-row Largus costs at least 703 thousand, and the top-end Luxe Prestige version with leather steering wheel and 15-inch alloy wheels costs 736,400 rubles.

Volkswagen Caddy

Volkswagen Caddy is in some way a compromise: Touran is no longer on our market, but Caddy is still a commercial car with springs in its essence rear suspension. However, if you want a seven-seater Volkswagen, and the Teramont is expensive, the Caddy can be considered a way out of the situation.

Volkswagen Caddy Highline "2015–present"

The current Caddy is built on the modernized base of its third-generation predecessor, which refers us to the PQ platform. However, the Germans still worked hard to teach it how to drive like a car, so if you don’t expect too much from a seven-seater family car, you may not even remember that you’re driving a semi-truck. There are also advantages here: the ability to order 4Motion all-wheel drive with a coupling clutch rear axle: in this case, the place of the rear semi-independent beam will be taken by a continuous bridge. Well, and, unlike Largus, if you need to regularly travel with seven people with luggage, you can pay extra and get an extended version of the Maxi: then behind the third row of seats there will be not 190, but 530 liters of cargo space.

And at the end of last year, Volkswagen significantly expanded motor range Caddy in Russia. Previously, it included a 110-horsepower naturally aspirated 1.6-liter engine and two diesel engines of 1.6 and 2 liters in different power variations from 75 to 140 hp. Now the 1.6-liter diesel engine is gone, but three TSI petrol turbo engines have been added - 1, 1.2 and 1.4 liters. They, perhaps, should be considered precisely as a nod towards “family” versions of the car: for commercial use, buyers will prefer either diesel or naturally aspirated gasoline, but when choosing a car “for yourself,” you can think about gasoline turbo engine. Interestingly, the liter engine is more powerful than the 1.2-liter: 102 power versus 84, and the 1.4-liter produces 125 power. Available gearboxes include a 5- or 6-speed manual, as well as not only a seven-speed DSG offered for the 1.4-liter engine, but also a 6-speed automatic, which can be paired with a 140-horsepower two-liter diesel engine. All-wheel drive vehicles– exclusively diesel and “mechanical”.

From a financial point of view, the good news is that the third row of seats is available as an option for any configuration - it can even be added to the base Trendline for 1.5 million. The surcharge for the third row is also small: 31 thousand rubles. Thus, for the cheapest seven-seater Caddy you will have to pay 1,535,000 rubles - but the list of options and equipment is traditionally wide. The Comfortline version costs from 1.7 million rubles, and the Highline version costs a little more than 1.9 million. There is also an “off-road” version of the Alltrack for 1.8 million, as well as a couple of special versions – Beach and Edition 35. In general, for the price of two Largus you can get much more freedom of choice.

Citroen Grand C4 Spacetourer

With the advent of the Spacetourer van in the French brand’s lineup, the remaining “buses” were also renamed in order to preserve the general style: now the former is called the Grand C4 Spacetourer. However, nothing has changed except the name: it is still the same seven-seater minivan with three rows of seats. It, like the two-row car without the Grand prefix, is built on the EMP2 platform and is far from new - the current design is already in its fifth year. However, the strength of these cars is not in the platform, or even in the most modern mechanics: the suspension here, for example, also has a semi-independent beam at the rear. Their strength lies in their thoughtfulness and equipment.


Citroën Grand C4 Picasso "2016–present"

French eccentricities such as a steering wheel with a fixed hub have not completely gone away: the interior is still unusual and surprises those who find themselves in it for the first time. The automatic selector, intricately crawled onto the steering column to free up space on the central tunnel for another box, large sliding sun blinds on which the usual visors are attached, an “ottoman” for the front passenger, removable boxes and numerous niches and drawers - for learning local tricks you can easily spend a day. The second row not only folds, but also rides on a skid, and each of the three seats can be moved individually: depending on their position, the trunk volume with the third row folded ranges from 643 to 704 liters. By folding both rows of seats, you can get 2,181 liters of space - but the French are modestly silent about the trunk volume with the third row “stools” folded out, but there is clearly not much room there - no more than 250 liters.

The modern automobile industry produces cars taking into account the very diverse tastes of car owners. Almost all brands offer any model: from a mini-car to a minibus. People choose a car not only because of price and status, but also because of the purpose for which it is being purchased. For example, roomy 7-seater crossovers are suitable for family trips.

The most popular are seven-seat SUVs and crossovers. big ground clearance And cross-country ability. It is believed that a crossover is more suitable for the city, and a jeep is more passable, so you should choose it if you are accustomed to frequent trips outside the city.

Benefits and convenience

In Russia, this is a fairly popular 7-seater jeep, and the affordable price is just one of the factors contributing to this. Another feature that attracts buyers is the panoramic roof. The seven-seater Opel Zafira is one of the most budget and spacious cars on the car market in Russia.

The main difference from its predecessor is the multilayer insulating material. +2 – these are 2 additional seats in the rear. Unlike the previous 5-seater variant, the space in the rear is truly enormous. Sometimes this even creates certain problems when parking in a narrow space.
    Despite the large space in the back row, the manufacturer himself emphasizes that 2 people up to 165 cm tall can comfortably fit there. That is, these are either children or 2 adults of short stature. Naturally, the back row of seats folds down to fit a lot of stuff. In this regard, the Nissan Qashqai is no different from other seven-seat crossovers.

  • Mitsubishi Pajero IV. The most expensive “iron horse” on this list. Its cost is about 1.5 million rubles. The exterior of the car is very recognizable. Manufacturers were inspired by military SUVs and tried to convey their power and brutality in the exterior.

What is worth considering and how to choose the right 7-seater car

So, above is the top of the most famous 7-seater cars of various price segments. The choice is really very wide, so many car owners spend a lot of time on it. When choosing, you should consider, first of all, your goals - what do you want to get from the car?

If you plan to drive around the city, there is no point in taking a huge jeep. It’s better to stay with a compact and roomy crossover. If you live outside the city, an SUV is more suitable for you. Especially if you have to drive off-road in the off-season.

7-seater SUVs and crossovers are chosen by those who need a lot of rear space. If you need it for family trips, pay attention to ensuring that the passengers in the back are comfortable and comfortable. If you need space for a large number of things, pay attention to the trunk volume.

As for manufacturers, each has its own characteristics. For example, Japanese brands focus on quality and practicality. Korean manufacturers are becoming increasingly serious competitors due to the combination of low prices, a large number of options and build quality, which is getting better over the years. It is possible that in 2019, Korean brands will become the best-selling brands. European manufacturers sell style and practicality. Cars from Europe are designed so that a person can enjoy the trip and feel real pleasure from driving his car.

It is impossible to say which of the listed crossovers and SUVs is better. The choice in any case depends on your goals, ideas about what the technical characteristics of cars should be, as well as preferences in terms of interior and exterior.


When a driver's license allows you to drive only a passenger car, but a large family requires larger vehicles, they come to the rescue. The Kolesa.Ru portal researched the Russian market for inexpensive but spacious passenger cars costing up to a million rubles. The summer season begins - go ahead, roomy ones!

Lada Largus

Yes, yes, Largus is by far the most affordable car with a seven-seater cabin. Prices for cars with a third row of seats start at 412,000 rubles (hereinafter we present the prices of the most affordable 7-seater versions).

Such a station wagon with a basic 90-horsepower engine, a time-tested Logan interior and an almost “forgiving” suspension may well lay claim to the role of the first family car. Despite the fact that the additional seats “in the trunk” are surprisingly spacious and will accommodate even two adult passengers with a certain degree of comfort. But there is not much space left for things: in the seven-seater version, the trunk volume is reduced to 135 liters.

UAZ Patriot

This one is for families domestic SUV can only be called with a very big stretch. Patriarchy has reigned here for many years. And in the trunk, they usually carry guns, fishing rods, tents and hunting trophies.

However, it can also be adapted to transport passengers. Moreover, the Patriot can take as many people on board as a passenger category “B” permits – nine people, including the driver. A nine-seater car can be made by installing double folding seats in the trunk opposite each other. This option is valued at 5,800 rubles and is offered for all cars, starting with the Classic configuration (from 573,000 rubles).

Chery CrossEastar

The Chinese station wagon is a rare guest on our streets. For the whole last year it attracted only two hundred buyers. This can be partly explained by the fact that the car has only one configuration, which is estimated at 619,000 rubles.

Equipped with a 136-horsepower engine, 5-speed manual transmission and the rather large CrossEastar is cramped for passengers. Riders in the last row feel the most inconvenience. Despite the fact that the middle row of seats can be moved back and forth on a slide, and the angle of the backrests can be changed on the two rear seats, this does not add serious comfort to passengers. But the Chery trunk, even with the seats folded down, leaves 250 liters of free volume for luggage.

Chevrolet Orlando

The main advantage of this car is its price, which starts at 760,000 rubles and automatically makes it the most affordable seven-seater compact van on the Russian market.

Otherwise, the Orlando is a typical representative of its class: high seating position, wide doors, plenty of shelves and pockets scattered throughout the cabin, convenient transformation of the interior. But at the same time, there is a rather cramped rear row of seats and a tiny, almost unusable 89-liter trunk. However, these shortcomings did not prevent it from becoming the most popular compact van at the end of last year.

Volkswagen Caddy

The most affordable seven-seater car in the segment of passenger “heels” can today be purchased for 793,000 rubles. This is exactly how much a basic Caddy Startline costs with a manual transmission and a frankly weak 86-horsepower engine for an almost one-and-a-half-ton car. gasoline engine.

Volkswagen's advantages include a wide range of engines and modifications: it can be diesel, all-wheel drive, or with an extended (470 mm) Maxi body. In addition, the Caddy is the only one on the list that can boast a sliding rear door, which is very practical in tight parking spaces.

Opel Zafira Family

The second generation Zafira was so popular among buyers that with the change of generations it was not even discontinued. And to avoid confusion, the talking prefix Family was added to the name of the compact van.

The advantages of the Zafira include a large glass area, wide rear doors that swing open almost 90 degrees, as well as Opel’s proprietary Flex7 interior transformation system. Among the shortcomings, we note only the “children’s” rear row of seats and a small 140-liter trunk. However, attractive prices, which start at 811,500 rubles for the version with a manual transmission and a 1.8-liter engine (140 hp), still allow the middle-aged car to remain at the top of its class.

Opel Zafira Tourer

The new Zafira Tourer with seven seats will cost a little more than its predecessor - from 833,000 rubles. But such a car will be equipped with a less powerful 115-horsepower gasoline engine.

The new compact van is more modern, larger and a little more spacious. The possibilities for transforming the interior have become even wider. Comfort has also increased for rear row passengers, however, there is still no place for adults there. And the trunk has increased by a barely noticeable twelve liters. But the Zafira Tourer pleases with a rich selection power units: Now it has three petrol and two diesel engines.

Nissan Qashqai+2

The name itself Japanese crossover hints that there are two additional seats in the cabin. Indeed, they cannot be called full-fledged, because they are only suitable for children. Which, in fact, is what the manufacturer warns about, limiting the maximum height of passengers in “luggage” chairs to 160 centimeters.

In essence, Qashqai+2 is a slightly extended Qashqai with a wheelbase stretched by 135 mm, with the same engine range, with the same transmissions and with a familiar set of qualities. Thanks to a starting price of 844,000 rubles for a front-wheel drive car with a 1.6-liter engine (114 hp), it becomes the most inexpensive seven-seat crossover on our market.

Citroen Grand C4 Picasso

Even after six years, this French compact van does not seem outdated. Modern appearance, original interior with centrally located instruments, panoramic windshield, steering wheel with a fixed hub - a real Citroen.

At the same time, the bright and quiet interior of the Grand C4 Picasso is also quite practical: there are many niches and drawers for small items, the middle row seats can be moved separately from each other, and the trunk volume with the last row of seats folded down is 200 liters. However, Citroen's choice of engines is limited: a 120-horsepower engine paired with a manual transmission, or a 150-horsepower turbocharged engine paired with a not-so-efficient manual transmission. robotic box. Well, prices (excluding the 70,000th discount on 2012 cars) start at 866,000 rubles.

Volkswagen Touran

A strict corporate appearance, a neat and thought-out interior - the Touran is still more of a Volkswagen than a compact van. Therefore, all the advantages and disadvantages of “passenger” cars German mark It is equally characterized by: a long range of engines, exemplary ergonomics, clear handling, and reliable behavior, but at the same time, a harsh suspension that is not very comfortable for a family car.

And in terms of convenience and interior transformation capabilities, the German compact van is not inferior to the best representatives of its class. Basic seven-seater Touran with manual transmission and 105 horsepower gasoline engine is estimated at 907,700 rubles.

A assortment passenger cars with a seven-seater interior, the Russian market is scarce, and if you have no more than a million rubles in your pocket, then there is no choice at all - only . The modification with the third row costs at least 590 thousand rubles, this station wagon has an eight-valve 1.6 engine (87 hp), one airbag, ABS, air conditioning and heated front seats, and a version with a sixteen-valve engine (102 hp) and two airbags will cost 626 thousand. Even adults can easily fit in the third row, but Largus itself is too simple and lacks an automatic transmission.

Lada Largus

If you do not consider, then in the price range from one to two million rubles, there is no choice of a three-row model either: official dealers offer only two such models. The “heel” has a five-seater cabin by default, and the third row is offered as an option for 31 thousand rubles - delivery of the car to order will take three to four months. Price - from 1 million 218 thousand: this is a 1.6 petrol engine (110 hp), air conditioning and one sliding door. And if, complete with the third row, you also need a spacious luggage compartment, then it is better to consider the extended Caddy Maxi (minimum 1 million 329 thousand). The choice of engines and options is huge, there are versions with a DSG “robot” and even with all-wheel drive, and a well-equipped version will cost 1.7-1.8 million rubles.

Volkswagen Caddy

It’s easier to buy a compact van (in the title photo): the cars are in stock. But prices only start at 1 million 699 thousand, although the base already has a 1.6 turbo engine (150 hp), a six-speed automatic transmission, climate control, a media system with a navigator and much more. The modification with a 1.6 diesel engine (120 hp) and an automatic transmission is noticeably more expensive, at least 1 million 844 thousand rubles. The third row does not offer space and comfort, but is suitable for children.

Kia Sorento Prime

Among seven-seat crossovers, the most affordable offer is for 2 million 290 thousand rubles, and versions with a 2.2 diesel engine (200 hp) and a V6 3.3 gasoline engine (250 hp) cost the same. The related one is more expensive: at least 2 million 424 thousand rubles with the same 2.2 diesel engine, but both “Koreans” do not indulge in space in the gallery.

Hyundai Grand Santa Fe

Other seven-seat crossovers in the three million range are more welcoming to passengers. Prices for (3.5 l, 249 hp) start at 2 million 755 thousand rubles, and for 2 million 999 thousand its luxury version (262 hp) is offered, although the basic version is available only to order, and the rest configurations are noticeably more expensive. There is also (3.5 l, 249 hp) at a price of 2 million 849 thousand rubles and (3.0 l, 249 hp) for three million, and the Honda is officially eight-seater: on the third row they can accommodate three passengers.

A representative of the premium segment, which with a seven-seater cabin costs at least 2 million 706 thousand rubles. But his gallery is cramped, and three-row cars cannot be found on the open market - only on order with a three-month waiting period.

Land Rover Discovery Sport

Seven-seat frame SUVs also fall into the range of up to three million. For example, a Chinese one with a 2.0 turbo engine (211 hp) for 2 million 300 thousand rubles. with a V6 3.0 diesel engine (250 hp) it costs from 2 million 400 thousand, but the interior is too simple for that price. Formally, you can order it for 2 million 990 thousand (6.2 liters, 409 hp), but the delivery time for basic cars is almost a year, and dealers only have more expensive versions.

Beyond the three-million mark, there is a considerable choice of three-row cars: seven-seat versions are available in the Volvo XC90, Audi Q7 and BMW X5 crossovers, Toyota Land Cruiser Prado SUVs, Land Rover Discovery and Nissan Patrol. And the most expensive in this cohort is the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 (5.5 liters, 585 hp), which “basically” costs 9.9 million, and with all options - almost 12 million rubles.

Recently, among the SUV segment there has been a steady trend towards the popularity of models with a seven-seater body.

The reason is prosaic - a mid-size SUV priced at over one and a half to two million rubles can be afforded by already established people with a family. And for her to move comfortably, I want there to be more space in the cabin.

Seven-seat SUVs and crossovers, which have a capacity slightly lower than traditional family minivans, are head and shoulders above them in off-road capability and safety, as well as being equipped with various modern systems. Let's consider which models are the most popular on the Russian market.

It is an extended seven-seater version of the regular Qashqai and one of the best-selling crossovers in Russia in 2014. This compact city car is offered with two options for petrol engines of 1.6 and 2.0 liters, as well as three transmission versions - 5 or 6-speed manual and continuously variable transmission. Four-wheel drive and 6-speed. Manual transmissions are available only for modifications with a 2.0 liter engine.

Compared to the regular version, the length of the car was increased by 210 mm - this was achieved through the use of the new C platform from Renault.

With the rear row seats folded down, the luggage compartment volume is 550 liters - 140 liters more than the 5-seater version. And if you also fold the second row, the figure will increase to 1520 liters.

By the way, to be fair, it should be noted that there is not much comfort in the third row of seats, but children will feel comfortable there.

As a summary, this is an excellent and inexpensive option for a family 7-seater crossover, even though the 1.6 and 2.0 liter engines are clearly weak for a car that weighs up to 1543 kg. On secondary market a lot of offers in price segment from 700 thousand rubles up to 1.3 million

New crossover has been produced since the beginning of 2015, and only in a seven-seat configuration.

Among the shortcomings, it is worth noting the very modest volume of the luggage compartment - only 142 liters, so for travel you will have to fold the rear seats to increase it to 605 liters.

On the other hand, the car is equipped with a 2.2-liter diesel or 3.3-liter gasoline engine, an automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, a whole range of various electronic options ESS, HAC, ESC, TSA and so on - and all this for a price from 2.1 million rub.

The trunk volume with the rear row seats folded down is small - only 176 liters, but if they are folded, it will grow to a serious level of 634 liters. And with the second row seats folded, the volume increases even more - up to 1842 liters. Moreover, rear passengers will feel comfortable - the seating height is 100 mm lower than in the middle row, and legroom is 250 mm less.

But you have to pay for comfort - the basic version has official dealers costs from 2.2 million rub., and for options you will have to pay up to 200-300 thousand.

Another Korean on our list, this time Kia SUV Mojave.

Compared to its “relative” Sorento Prime, it has a length increased by 100 mm and a body height of 85 mm, which made it possible to increase the volume of the luggage compartment to 350 liters and improve the comfort of passengers in the second and third row of seats. The SUV is also equipped with a more powerful 3-liter diesel engine producing 250 hp. With. with an 8-speed automatic, but in the “base” it costs more than the Sorento Prime - from 2.4 million rub.

Retrained from an SUV to a crossover, the Honda Pilot still remains one of the most popular seven-seater models. He compares favorably with his classmates in size spacious interior– with three rows of seats luggage compartment has a volume of 524 liters, not inferior to conventional versions of SUVs. With the rear row folded, the size is 1,583 liters and an incredible 3,087 liters in a front-seat-only configuration.

Add to this a powerful 3-liter V6 engine with 249 hp. s., 6-speed automatic transmission with torque converter, ground clearance of 200 mm and it becomes clear that this is one of the most attractive options.

The cost of the basic package (without 3-zone climate control, panoramic roof, parking sensors, etc.) is about 3 million rub.

The third generation of this full-fledged SUV went on sale in the Russian Federation in 2014. It was here that the Highlander received an enlarged interior designed for long and comfortable trips.

With the seats fully folded down, the trunk size is quite modest - 269 liters, but rear passengers feel just as comfortable as in the second row.

The price of a Toyota Highlander with a 3.5 liter V6 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, adaptive cruise control and a full set of airbags, 3-zone climate control – from RUB 3.6 million.
