Family‑focused 7‑seat SUVs reviewed in Australia and Brazil

A review of large Australian SUVs shows that models such as the Hyundai Palisade, Nissan Pathfinder, Ford Everest, Kia Sorento Hybrid, Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid, Mazda CX‑90, Toyota LandCruiser Prado and LandCruiser 300 Series can accommodate three ISOFIX‑equipped child seats across the second row, offering between 16 and 22 “shopping‑bag” units of boot space and allowing a 186 cm driver to sit in front of a rear‑facing capsule.

In Brazil, the Citro‑ën Aircross 2026 was evaluated as a new seven‑seat option for families. It pairs a 1.0 L Turbo 200 engine with a seven‑speed simulated CVT, and the third‑row seats can be removed entirely. The Shine 7 trim adds digital climate control, a 7‑inch TFT display, a 10‑inch Connect touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, rear‑view camera, adaptive cruise, tire‑pressure monitoring and 17‑inch alloy wheels. Test drives with up to six occupants highlighted its practicality for urban and highway use.
