Donald83 1st Gear June 15, 2020 Share June 15, 2020 Looking at 7 seater cars which are running on Diesel. Currently driving a Volvo S80 D2 which runs on Diesel and i like that it is fuel efficient. Now i am intending to change to 7 seater variant and looking for inputs from fellow members here. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

inlinesix Supersonic June 15, 2020 Share June 15, 2020 Skip Diesel. Sooner or later, will be screwed in similar fashion as CNG. Look for hybrid MPV. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic June 15, 2020 Share June 15, 2020 Merc V Class Diesel MPV (2019 facelifted). https://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_overview.php?CarCode=11756 Cheap. Only $330K.

Lala81 Hypersonic June 15, 2020 Share June 15, 2020 (edited) Only can think of sorrento or scenic. BMW 2gt no longer has diesel. My 3 friends have it. Edited June 15, 2020 by Lala81 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he mean not that comfy for 7 to seat, given their width. Actually I never sat in them before so... Only MPVs that I have sat in before these few years were the Kia Carens (quite cramped backseat I feel) and Suzuki Ertiga (Surprisingly roomy backseat).

Very few new diesel models u can buy now, unless u want to look at the Renault grand scenic which is a 7 seater or the used car market. If you can share with us your budget, I think many bros here can better recommend. For efficiency, you can look at the following decent sized 7 seaters that's quite efficient and will probably be about the same running cost of your diesel: https://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_overview.php?CarCode=12568 https://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_overview.php?CarCode=12212 https://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_overview.php?CarCode=11941 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps can consider a 2nd hand unit for family duties, and the savings would be a lot more than the petrol surcharges Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotr 6th Gear June 15, 2020 Share June 15, 2020 Renault grand scenic is the obvious and popular choice. Kia also have some diesel 7 seaters: sorrento, carens, Iirc but don't know if still have new cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In term of space and visibility, Citroen Grand C4 Picasso is the winner.

All the compact MPVs are cramped and there's not much leg space for 3rd row. I think till now, the original Toyota Wish has one of the best-thought 3rd row seats. One will have to get the boxy or full-sized MPVs to have more leg space for 3rd row. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
