The seven-seater SUV segment is growing at a steady pace in South Africa with demand for these vehicles being seemingly unquenchable.
At present, the most affordable SUV with space for up to seven occupants is the Honda BR-V which retails for R399,900, but this is far from the only model that will tick this box.
In fact, there are 22 manufacturers on the market with at least one seven-seater family car in their portfolio.
Around the R500,000 mark sits nameplates including the Mahindra Scorpio-N, Hyundai Grand Creta, and Proton X90.
Moving further up in the price spectrum opens up additional options, namely the evergreen Toyota Fortuner, VW Tiguan Allspace, new Mitsubishi Outlander, and rugged Isuzu mu-X.
If money is no option, buyers have a number of entries from premium brands to peruse, too, not least the BMW X7, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Range Rover, and Bentley Bentayga, all of which go for around R2 million or more.
