Ten of Australia’s Cheapest Seven-Seat SUVs 2025

You’re in luck, because the large, seven-seat SUV segment is one of the most hotly contested segments of the market and, as a result, offers some seriously great value for family buyers.

Manufacturers recognise that more buyers are flocking to the world of large SUVs and therefore want to get in on a slice of the action, themselves.

This all means that in 2025, there is no shortage of family-friendly, surprisingly premium and even off-road capable seven-seat packages to suit your needs and to keep growing with your family.
