Parkers – the definitive resource for car buying advice in the UK – has partnered Closer to bring you the award for the Best Seven-Seater Car in the prestigious Parkers New Car Awards 2021. And the winner has been revealed today (26 October) is the SEAT Tarraco – one of a total of 21 award-winning vehicles announced by Parkers.

With two or more children, maybe one or two of their friends, plus the grandparents, the practical benefits of a seven-seater car are clear. But there’s no reason why you should be landed with an old-school beast of burden that's dull to drive and stripped of equipment if you’re looking to haul people and their luggage. The car that fits that bill the best right now? The SEAT Tarraco.

It finishes ahead of the BMW X7, a seven-seater that’s the last word in luxury and still manages to excite, and the Volvo XC90, which is gorgeous-looking, comes with a wide number of engine options, is easy to drive on road and is surprisingly economical.

Keith Adams, Parkers.co.uk Editor, said: ‘The impressively affordable SEAT Tarraco is our Best Seven-Seater Car for 2021 thanks to its great-value finance, generous equipment and overall value for money. It’s excellent to drive, with keen steering and handling, and sprightly performance from the more powerful models in the range. But it's also a highly competent seven-seater and therefore takes a well-deserved win.’

Now in its fourth year, the Parkers New Car Awards 2021 reflect the views of Britain’s car-buying public, with winners decided by a combination of the site’s expert reviewers’ verdicts in thousands of miles of road testing and the purchasing habits of the website’s 2.3+ million users actively involved in the buying process.
