Estate Cars with 7 seats

    I am struggling to think of estate cars that have seven seats. I know the E class Merc does but I can't think of any others currently in production or even relatively modern.

    Any Ideas?

    I just don't need or like 4x4s or like people carriers and although I rarely need 7 seats it is hardly to have. I much prefer estate cars over the look of saloon/hatchbacks.

    Current V70 never had a 7 seat option. Now out of production as is the E class Estate, and not many of them had the 7 seat option for the last couple of years of production as the adblue tank went where the passenger feet would go.

    Don't think there are any left to buy new.

    The current production E class definitely does have a 7 seat option I just seen a 2015 ex demo in a dealer with it.

    Not sure if it can be treated as an estate though... ;)

    New or used? What age carbare you thinking of?

    If your looking for a slightly older car then the Toyota Verso and Hobda Stream both are 7 seaters.

    If it was a 220Cdi, it was left over stock from MY15. Tried to order one in November 14 and production had changed to EU6 engines on the 220Cdi which required the fitting of the AdBlue tank, which is under the boot floor in the E Class Estate.

    Not all engine versions required AdBlue, so they would have been available to order with the 7 Seat option, but most E-Class Estates sold in Ireland would be 220Cdi versions (as there's no 200Cdi Estate).

    W212 has an option for 7 seats:https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/mercedes-benz-e-class-e220-se-cdi-7-seater/11742967
    W211 had it for sure as well: https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/mercedes-e200-avantgarde-7-seater-estate/11507298
    W210 too...

    V70 (up-to ~2007), Pegueot 307/308 SW had an option of 7-seats as well. Tesla Model-S... :]



    Consider getting what you want and renting a second car for those rare occasions you need 7 seats...

    That's a very sensibile explanation :)

    It is as an MPV as any other C4 Grand Picasso (which is super-sexy BTW), 5008, Grand Scenic or C/S-Max...
