Has Your Family Grown Too Big For Your Car?
7 seater cars are large cars that will carry seven passengers including the driver. In several states, average size or large families use them as their base family car. Vehicle makers regularly class 7 seater cars as minivans and SUVs but in Australia they are commonly known as people movers and four wheel drives.
People movers tend to be more roomy than four wheel drives and have a more box type shape to them. They are made for sealed roads in built up areas and have minimal off road capacities. They have less fuel use than four wheel drives because they are not built as heavy, and the maintenance costs will be lower.
In Australia there are plenty of people movers on the market including Chrysler Voyager, Citroen C4 Picasso, Hyundai iMax, Mitsubishi Grandis, Renault Grand Scenic, Toyota Tarago, Toyota Avensis, Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life, Volkswagen Multi Van, Volkswagen Caravelle and the hugely popular Kia Carnival and Honda Odyssey.
Four-wheel drives became extremely popular due to their flexibility, appearance and high driving position and are now produced by most vehicle makers. Models include Audi Q7, Ford Territory, BMW X6, Hyundai Santa Fe, Land Rover Discovery, Kia Sorento, Mercedes GL Class, Mitsubishi Pajero, Mitsubishi Challenger, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Tribeca, Nissan Patrol, Volvo XC90 and Toyota Kluger, Landcruiser and Prado. These models seat 6 to 8 passengers and are available with numerous drive options including two-wheel, four-wheel and all-wheel drive.
2 wheel drives are appropriate for families that drive normally on made roads. They are most often driven by the 2 rear wheels only and have less fuel consumption than the four wheel drive version.
Four wheel drive 7 seater cars work the best for families that like to take off-road trips because they typically have more powerful motors and all four wheels are driven. This enables the vehicle to be driven thru difficult terrain like off road sandy or muddy roads. Some four wheel drives can swap between two-wheel and four-wheel drive depending on the situation and some have all-wheel drive meaning all wheels are driven all of the time.
With the choice of 7 seater cars on the market it’s an exciting time for car customers who are trying to find a vehicle that will not only carry a big family but will also suit their way of life.
