We have a 7 seater prius alpha. Its a small 7 seater but fine for kids. Probably the most economical 7 seater on the market. Relatively cheap to buy, super reliable, very cheap to run. One of the cheaper cars to run now that electric and PHEVs all have to pay road ks (the prius doesn’t). Theres a reason every second taxi driver has one.
We also have a 7 seater diesel prado but its brutal to run compared to the prius. I think it’s literally about triple the cost per km. I would never have a big vehicle like this as my only vehicle. It only gets out if Im going camping, hunting or towing etc or I really have to for whatever reason.
