Chasing Cars and Mamamia team up to answer all the big questions about large family SUVs
Australian families know that multiple kids means multiple seats when it comes to choosing practical and versatile everyday transport.
And seven-seater SUVs have become the main go-to three-row vehicle, largely replacing the once-traditional choice of van-style or purpose-built people-movers.
And buyers are spoilt for showroom choice, with a vast array of SUVs catering to different budgets, different seating layouts, different powertrain preferences, and of course different design tastes.
It’s possible to buy a seven-seater SUV for a starting price just below $40,000, you can choose between petrol, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric options, and vehicle sizes range from medium to upper-large.
But how do you find the perfect seven-seater SUV for your family when there are so many options?
Chasing Cars – Powered by Budget Direct – and Mamamia have teamed up to find “The Perfect Big-Family SUV” in the second episode of a new collaborative video series, which you can view below!
Chasing Cars presenter Shana Zlotin and Mamamia’s Annaliese Todd explore the world of 7-seater SUVs in a Hyundai Santa Fe – a natural choice to represent the segment given that it won Chasing Cars’ prestigious Car Of The Year award in 2025.
The episode features several other three-row SUVs recommended by Chasing Cars. They include the Toyota Prado, Hyundai Palisade, Honda CR-V, Kia EV9, Skoda Kodiaq, Hyundai Ioniq 9, and Land Rover Discovery.
Shana and Mamamia also touch on people-movers such as the most popular version in Australia, the Kia Carnival.
Mamamia is Australia’s largest women’s media brand with a purpose to make the world a better place for women and girls.
Chasing Cars is Australia’s most independent car reviews brand, with zero car manufacturer advertising thanks to being powered by Budget Direct.
