Which seven-seater MPV should I buy?
My daughter is planning to replace her Chrysler Voyager with a similar seven-seater vehicle. She has looked at the Volkswagen Sharan but thinks it's a bit pricey.

The SEAT Alhambra is exactly the same vehicle but is a little cheaper because of the lower status badge. A Ford Galaxy is generally excellent, but is slightly smaller. The cheaper alternatives include the Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life, but she might think that looks too much like a van, or the van based eight-seater Hyundai i800. Or the Ssangyong Rodius which doesn’t look like anything else on this earth.

Proper seven-seat practicality which is more than you can say for most SUVs, practical and spacious even with all seven seats occupied, sliding rear doors are a real boon especially the electric versions.
