If a minibus ain't your cup of tea, a five-seater family car is what you need. We've got you covered with a variety of awesome options - from budget-friendly to electric, compact, and supremely comfy. Let's dive in!
Hyundai Santa Fe - The Giant, Yet Cozy Hunk
The fifth generation of this Korean crossover has grown into a true behemoth, measuring a whopping 4.83 meters in length. Its imposing figure and straight-up styling make it stand out, while its roomy interior ensures comfortable seating for up to five adults. The second row slides forward to provide ample legroom, even for the third row - perfect for grown-ups who aren't fans of cramped spaces.
Hyundai opts for full and plug-in hybrids, with the more powerful variants featuring all-wheel drive. The base model with front-wheel drive, 158 kW/215 PS, and automatic transmission is available for €60,750 as a seven-seater.
Dacia Jogger - The Budget Buster
Dacia keeps it simple and affordable, priced just under €19,000 for the seven-seater Jogger variant. It might not offer the ultimate comfort or space, but it's perfect for smaller families or occasional needs like shuttling the kids to soccer practice.
The Jogger is compact and based on the Clio, so the third row isn't overly spacious. However, it suffices for child-sized passengers or quick transit to the sports field. The "Extreme" model, priced €2,000 more, adds some much-needed equipment and visual flair to the basic models. While safety features take a back seat compared to pricier options, the interior is easy to use and quite appealing in its one-size-fits-all approach.
Opel Frontera - Compact, Yet Spacious
Opel offers a third-row seating option in the 4.39-meter long Frontera, positioned between compact and midsize classes. The extra seats might be more of a backup plan, but the first five seats offer plenty of room, and the trunk becomes enormous when the third row is folded down.
First Drive in the New Opel Frontera - A Viable Contender
The interior of the Frontera feels contemporary, but cost-saving measures are evident. Simplicity is the cornerstone here, but the lively mild-hybrid petrol engine offers a lively driving experience. The fuel-saving electric powertrain from the five-seater model isn't available. Prices start at just under €25,000.
Mazda CX-80 - The Epitome of Luxury
This model, elder sibling to the mid-size SUV CX-60, boasts a 25 centimeter length advantage and a third row, taking the quotient up a notch. The interior is elegantly designed, crafted with top-notch materials, and exuding an air of finesse. Comfort extends to the third row, with clever storage solutions and USB ports making up for the snug fit for taller individuals in this row.
Mazda spares no expense on the powertrain, offering their flagship with a six-cylinder engine, either as a diesel or a plug-in hybrid. Prices start at 56,200 euros for the "Exclusive Line" model, while the high-end "Homura" variant, offering superior equipment, is priced around 63,000 euros.
Maxus Mifa 9 - The Electric Luxury Ride
This van, popular in China, offers a blend of luxury and space, with features like leg rests, massage, and cooling functions, available in the second-row seating. Although the third-row configuration is designed for three passengers, comfort is compromised somewhat due to limited space. However, the overall elegant ambiance adds a touch of sophistication to the ride.
The electric powertrain provides enough juice with 180 kW/245 PS, offering a range of around 440 kilometers. The base model goes for 70,000 euros, while the generously equipped "Luxury" model costs 76,000 euros.
