Families come in all shapes and sizes. Big, small, blended, and with grandparents and in-laws in tow.
So while your family may not necessarily be made up of the traditional mum, dad and five children, there are still many good reasons why a 7-seater car could be a logical and practical choice.
Plus these days, choosing a large car doesn’t mean sacrificing style. From van-like people movers to stylish SUV’s, such as as PEUGEOT 5008, there are all sorts of great reasons why 7-seaters make good sense.
WHY BUY A 7 SEATER CAR?
7 REASONS WHY 7-SEATER IS BETTER
1. ONE SIZE FITS ALL
The obvious one to start with is size, with seven seats you can carry a large family, more people and their gear. Perfect for trips with extended family, school carpooling and those weekend sport team drop offs. Plus no one wants to leave the family dog behind, so now they can tag along on all your adventures too.
2. INDIVIDUAL COMFORT
It is one thing to be able to transport more people, but is another thing to do it in comfort too. With a 7-seater whether you have 4, 5 or 6 passengers they can all spread out. Plus when you’re not carrying seven people, the passengers you do have can travel with the luxury of space around them. You can even head off potential sibling quarrels, by separating them on long trips!
Some clever 7-seaters also boast second row seats that slide and adjust independently of each other – such as the PEUGEOT 5008. Also look for other thoughtful features designed for big families and rear passenger comfort, such as designated aircon vents, individually adjustable rear seats, USB charging points and storage compartments.
3. ENDLESS VERSATILITY
In some cars you can take more people or more gear, but not both. Have you ever tried to fit a school cello in a small car? Sure you can put the seats down, but then you can’t carry many passengers. However a well-designed 7-seater will have the versatility to adapt seamlessly to almost any situation.
For example, the modular layout of the PEUGEOT 5008 allows you to fold down each rear seat individually – to customise both seating and cargo carrying configurations. For the ultimate in configurability, look for a 7-seater where the seats fold totally flat and the third row of seats is completely removable, such as in the PEUGEOT 5008. This provides more room for sports equipment, a large load of shopping or camping gear. Plus you can create extra cargo space for when you’re called on to help move adult children in and out of their house share!
4. BIG ON SAFETY
It’s always reassuring to know that you physically have more car surrounding you, however be sure to look for a 7-seater with all the latest safety tech. Such as, advanced driver assist systems and curtain side airbags for all three occupant rows, as is the case with the PEUGEOT 5008. Plus you will find that an SUV-style 7-seater also offers an elevated driving position for better visibility of the road ahead. With more people in the car there may be more risk of the driver being distracted, so look for safety technology such as the Advanced Driver Attention Alert on PEUGEOT 5008 which can support the driver.
5. SPACIOUS STYLE
Once upon a time people movers were boxy and let’s be honest, not so appealing. But not anymore. Car manufacturers have acknowledged that families are changing, function alone is not enough and style is important too. Many of the new breed of 7-seaters have been designed without compromise, with bold silhouettes, fluid lines, comfort-filled cabins and luxurious interior features. Take the PEUGEOT 5008 with its large panoramic sunroof for all passenger to enjoy and individually sliding rear seats.
6. RESALE VALUE
With their endless versatility 7-seater cars are popular in the second-hand market, as families everywhere are constantly changing and growing making these flexible models an appealing option.
7. FUN FOR ALL
For large and active families a 7-seater provides the opportunity to live a stress-free and adventurous life without boundaries. It’s a great choice for those looking to embrace family and friends and to create memories together. So pack more into every day and take everyone along for the ride.
