Any suggestions other than an Audi Allroad? (are these all 7 seats for the A6 variant?)
do any of the Volvo XCs have 7 seats? anything else i should consider?
budget is ideally sub 10k but could stretch it.
should i just get a disco 3?

any advice welcome!

Mercedes R Class? Sort of an MPV/Estate mix but hasn't got as much ground clearance.

SsangYong Rexton?

There are stables up our lane & these seem very popular with horsey folks.

If you're ever expecting to need to go across rutted fields or through muddy gateways then either a Disco or a Range Rover Sport.

XC90 has 7 seats....and very comfy seats Volvo make too!!
New model will be way out of price range, but plenty of the older ones around; sturdy workhorses from what folk say (I’m just an XC60 owner, good Volvo forums you could head to!)

Yep - my own (you'd never have guessed !) - an 06 car bought by me in 08 with 9k miles, now with 150k after plenty of use and abuse. Don't think I'd get £10k for it even if I did want to sell it.

Mercedes R Class ticks the boxes it has 7 seats isn't an SUV & can tow a decent payload:

Is that not the definition of an SUV?

Do they have 7 Seats?

Apart from that - a perfect fit hehe
