The UK has never had as many seven-seater cars as our American cousins, but this all changed when electric cars came into play.
With more interesting designs and enough electric power to still be nifty, electric seven-seater cars have become much more popular for ferrying around family and friends.
What are the best electric seven-seater cars?
Peugeot e-5008
Kia EV9
Volkswagen ID. Buzz
Volvo EX90
Citroën ë-SpaceTourer
Mercedes EQB
Tesla Model X
Hyundai IONIQ 9
Peugeot e-5008
When we think of Peugeot, a small hatchback usually springs to mind, and not a nearly five-metre-long SUV with seven seats.
The Peugeot e-5008 is one of the best in its class, with a clever i-Cockpit cabin design, genuine space and affordability on its side.
Electric range: 414 miles
Battery size: 98kWh
Charging speed: 160kW (20-80% in 30min)
Boot space: 348 litres (916 litres with the third row folded)
Kia EV9
Some seven-seaters scrimp on third-row space, but not the Kia EV9. This can genuinely fit seven fully grown adults.
With a massive battery and a great electric range, it makes family road trips a breeze. And it comes with a seven-year warranty that stays with the car, even if you buy it used.
Electric range: 349 miles
Battery size: 99.8kWh
Charging speed: 210kW (10-80% in 24min)
Boot space: 333 litres (828 litres with the third row folded)

Volkswagen ID. Buzz 7-Seat
Okay, you got us. This isn’t technically a car, but it makes this list because it drives like a car and is a super spacious seven-seater.
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz LWB’s van shape makes it an airy place to sit, with loads of light and legroom for up to seven people and a weekend’s camping trip worth of luggage.
Electric range: 293 miles
Battery size: 86kWh
Charging speed: 200kW (5-80% in 30min)
Boot space: 306 litres (1,340 litres with the third row folded)
Volvo EX90
The combustion-powered Volvo XC90 is one of the most comfortable and safest SUVs in existence, and the electric power of the EX90 only adds to its excellence.
It genuinely feels a bit like a Scandi Rolls-Royce luxury but for a fraction of the cost – win-win.
Electric range: 385 miles
Battery size: 111kWh
Charging speed: 250kW (10-80% in 30min)
Boot space: 310 litres (655 litres with the third row folded)
Citroën ë-SpaceTourer
What makes the Citroën ë-SpaceTourer so unique is that it’s available with up to nine seats (yes, nine) – making it by far the most practical option on this list.
Like the ID. Buzz, it may be more of a van than a car, but that makes it extra versatile for trips to and from the airport or if you’re moving house, not just the school run.
Electric range: 215 miles
Battery size: 75kWh
Charging speed: 100kW (5-80% in 38min)
Boot space: 603 litres (2,700 litres with the third row folded)
Mercedes EQB
It may not look like it, but the Mercedes EQB is actually a seven-seater, which gives it the unique stance of being a ‘normal’ size with big practicality.
After a premium family bus without the massive footprint? This is the car for you.
Electric range: 321 miles
Battery size: 74kWh
Charging speed: 100kW (10-80% in 35min)
Boot space: 130 litres (495 litres with the third row folded)
Tesla Model X
No longer available new in the UK, the Tesla Model X is a rare beast, which makes finding a seven-seater version (also available as a five or six) even more exciting.
It may be a few years old now, but it’s still one of the most advanced EVs on the market thanks to Tesla’s incredible software.
Electric range: 358 miles
Battery size: 100kWh
Charging speed: 250kW (10-80% in 30min)
Boot space: 425 litres (2,497 litres with the second and third row folded)
Hyundai IONIQ 9
Want the coolest, most retro-looking seven-seater in the game? Look no further than the Hyundai IONIQ 9.
It's as if a spaceship landed on Earth, with its swooping design, pixel lights and sleek LED light bar spanning the front.
Electric range: 385 miles
Battery size: 110kWh
Charging speed: 350kW (10-80% in 24min)
Boot space: 338 litres (1,323 litres with the third row folded)
