Q7 v XC90 v Discovery

[Djcappleby]

We're just about to have baby number 3 so it's time to swap the aging Freelander 2 for a proper mum bus.

We've narrowed the list to Q7, XC90 (with family pack) and a full fat Discovery. Looking to spend up to £35 - £40k (but ideally less!) in today's ridiculous second hand car market... Looks like any of the above 3 would be OK for a newer than 2017, less than 50k miles.

Have driven all 3 and to drive we thought Q7 > XC90 > Discovery.

What would the pistonhead collective choose? Would love to hear from current owners

I've heard that Disco 4 are a bit too unreliable...

Thanks for the replies.

The reason we're leaning towards the Q7 is because you can get 3 car seats across the back seat all with isofix, I don't think there's any 5 seaters where you can do this.

The XC90 with the family pack has a built in pop up booster seat in the middle of row 2 which means the 2 isofix car seats can fit either side and our 4 year old can sit in the middle.

This then leaves the boot space for the dog and luggage for either the Q7 or the XC90.

On the Disco I don't think you can do either of the above which then means a child in row 3...
