Best second hand 7-seater cars of 2024

Not much can beat that new car smell, unless it’s new car depreciation. That’s where a great used car makes a lot of sense, pick the right one and you can save a packet. To ensure that your used buy is as enjoyable as a new car, our carwow team has picked some of the best used 7-seater cars currently on the market.

Audi Q7

1. Audi Q7

9/10
Audi Q7 review
Battery range up to 34 miles
The Q7 has a stunning and well-built interior, with plenty of space for your passengers. It isn’t the most exciting to drive, but it feels solid and comfortable on the road. Higher trims have the best safety spec, pricey when new but far more attainable as a used buy.
Skoda Kodiaq

2. Skoda Kodiaq

9/10
Skoda Kodiaq review
The Kodiaq is a relatively compact 7-seater which limits the 3rd-row space, but it’s easier to drive around town as a result. The interior looks great, and used models offer great value, especially if you find one with some desirable options.

Volvo XC90

3. Volvo XC90

8/10
Volvo XC90 review
Battery range up to 28 miles
The XC90 is safe, packed with tech and has a luxurious interior. The engine range is limited compared to some rivals, though. New models can get pricey so look for a well-specced nearly new one instead and enjoy this Scandinavian smoothie without breaking the bank.
Land Rover Discovery

4. Land Rover Discovery

8/10
Land Rover Discovery review
You’ll want a Discovery if you need to venture further off the beaten path than a muddy parking lot. It’s luxurious, comfortable and has a huge boot, too. It isn’t the best on-road, and the styling is an acquired taste, but that doesn’t dim the Discovery’s impressive abilities as a family-friendly off-road capable SUV.
Mercedes-Benz GLB

5. Mercedes GLB

8/10
Mercedes-Benz GLB review
The GLB seats 7 but it’s not the largest offering in its class so the 3rd-row and boot space are a bit compromised. It offers a relaxing drive and has a luxurious cabin although you should look out for higher spec models as the base trims don’t have much standard kit.
Kia Sorento

6. Kia Sorento

8/10
Kia Sorento review
The Sorento is a solid and spacious 7-seater with plenty of practical features. Hybrids are efficient but can be a bit noisy. New models can get pricey, but a used one is great value and you will still enjoy the remainder of Kia’s class-leading 7-year warranty.
Citroen C4 SpaceTourer

7. Citroen Grand C4 SpaceTourer

8/10
Citroen C4 SpaceTourer review
The SpaceTourer is all about, well, space. It’ll happily swallow 7 occupants and their luggage and it’s one of the coolest looking MPVs around. It’s not the most exciting to drive though, and the infotainment system is fiddly, something you won’t mind when you see the savings to be had on nearly new models.
Volkswagen Touran

8. Volkswagen Touran

7/10
Volkswagen Touran review
Few body styles are as suited to a 7-seat layout as an MPV, and the VW Touran offers plenty of interior space and easy access to the rear seats. Its practicality is matched by a range of efficient engines and low running costs, although it’s not the most stylish vehicle around.
BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer

9. BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer

7/10
BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer review
This is a quiet and refined family car with decent interior quality and a great infotainment system. The 3rd-row is a bit tight and it’s a bit pricier than some rivals. It becomes a more viable proposition as a used buy, especially with the powerful and efficient diesel engine.
Peugeot 5008

10. Peugeot 5008

7/10
Peugeot 5008 review
The Peugeot 5008 offers some welcome French design flair both inside and out. It is big enough to seat 7 but the boot is a bit small if you have a full complement of passengers. It’s well built and as a used buy you get a healthy discount on its original list price.

Advice about used 7-seaters

Used 7-seater cars FAQs

Customer satisfaction surveys have rated Japanese and German vehicles very highly with the Skoda Kodiaq coming in as one of the most reliable 7-seaters around. Other Volkswagen Group vehicles also scored highly such as the SEAT Tarraco and Volkswagen Tiguan AllSpace.

If we compare used 7-seater cars of similar age, condition and mileage then you will find that the ones that were cheapest to buy new will remain the cheapest as a second-hand purchase. That makes the Citroen Grand C4 SpaceTourer one of the most affordable used 7-seaters from our list, although the Dacia Jogger is the cheapest new 7-seater in the UK which also makes it the cheapest nearly new 7-seater as well.

Make sure to do an HPI check to ensure that the car’s history is clean, look out for visual signs of accident damage and have a thorough look inside the car for undue wear and tear. Keep in mind that a few minor blemishes or marks on the paintwork and interior are par for the course on a family car.

A nearly new car should still drive like a brand-new model and there should be no odd noises emanating from the engine bay or suspension on a test drive.

For more advice, check out our guide on what to look for when buying a used car.

That depends on your particular needs and budget. A new car has a certain allure to it and comes with a comprehensive manufacturer warranty. You also get to specify the vehicle to your liking but may sometimes have to wait a while for delivery.

A nearly new 7-seater should retain much of that new car magic in its first year or two but often comes at a significant cost saving. Most will still have the remainder of the manufacturer’s warranty and extended warranties can easily be added on if required. 

You may have to search a bit to find a model that suits your needs, and it may be a bit harder to find your preferred colour/spec combination. However, many used cars come with optional extras that cost the original owner a pretty penny but don’t materially affect values as a used purchase.
