Ten of Australia’s Cheapest Seven-Seat SUVs in 2025

Seven-seat SUVS are one of the smartest picks for large, adventurous families, though in many cases, all this practicality and versatility can be accompanied by a pretty steep price tag.

Thankfully for buyers here in Australia, manufacturers are flooding the seven-seat SUV segment with their take on the family-friendly recipe.

Be it a more comfortable, street-focused school chariot or an adventurous off-road performer, there’s no shortage of options, to the point it can be difficult to comb through them all.

To help you out with your search for the most affordable seven-seat SUV options at your disposal, we’ve done the homework and present you with ten of the cheapest currently on sale in 2025.
