7-Seater Electric Cars in Europe: Every Model Compared

There are 31 electric model lines with six or more seats on sale in Europe in the evstats.org catalog, 90 versions from 19 brands. The cheapest seven seats come in a van-based MPV, the Citroën ë-Berlingo XL 50 kWh at €37,940 with 339 km of WLTP range. The cheapest seven-seat SUV is the Škoda Peaq 60 at €49,900, but its third row is an option; the cheapest SUV with seven seats as standard is the Peugeot e-5008 73 kWh at €51,250 with 504 km. The longest range is the Lucid Gravity Grand Touring: 748 km for €116,900.

Pick by need:

• Cheapest seven seats: Citroën ë-Berlingo XL 50 kWh, €37,940, 339 km WLTP. A tall van-shaped MPV with sliding doors.
• Cheapest SUV with a standard third row: Peugeot e-5008 73 kWh, €51,250, 504 km.
• Most range for the money: Peugeot e-5008 97 kWh Long Range, 12.1 km of WLTP range per €1,000 (671 km for €55,350), the best of any car here with seven or more seats.
• Longest range under €70,000: the same Peugeot e-5008 97 kWh Long Range, 671 km for €55,350.
• Towing: 2,500 kg braked is the most any of them is rated for: the Hyundai IONIQ 9, Kia EV9 and Lucid Gravity.
• Most seats for the money: Toyota Proace Verso M 50 kWh, nine seats for €44,230, but only 223 km of WLTP range.

Seven-seat electric SUVs

13 SUV lines offer a third row. They are where the range is: their median WLTP range is 591 km, against 440 km for the MPVs. They are also where the price is, with a median catalog price of €82,380. Table 1 lists them cheapest first, with the best figure among each line's current versions. The Škoda Peaq opens the list at €49,900, but that is the price of a five-seater: the third row is an extra. The first SUV with seven seats as standard is the Peugeot e-5008 at €51,250, followed by the Kia EV9, Hyundai IONIQ 9 and BYD TANG under €70,000.

MPVs and people carriers with six or seven seats

The cheapest way to seven electric seats is a car built on a small van: the Citroën ë-Berlingo, Mercedes-Benz EQT, Nissan Townstar EV, Opel Combo Electric and Peugeot e-Rifter all list under €45,000. Their sliding doors and square bodies make the third row easier to reach than in most SUVs, but their range is short: 265 to 343 km WLTP. Above them sit the larger people carriers, from the Volkswagen ID. Buzz to the Mercedes-Benz VLE, which has the most range of the group at 713 km WLTP, ahead of the XPENG X9 at 615 km.

Eight and nine seats

For more than seven seats the choice is a passenger van. Eight lines are on sale, most of them versions of two vans: Stellantis's (Toyota Proace Verso, Citroën ë-SpaceTourer, Peugeot e-Traveller and Opel Zafira Electric) and the van Volkswagen and Ford share (Ford e-Tourneo Custom, Volkswagen e-Transporter Kombi and Volkswagen e-Caravelle). They are cheap per seat, from €44,230 for nine, but none reaches the range of the shortest-range SUV line: the best is 381 km WLTP. They also tow less than the large SUVs, up to 2,300 kg.

Price against range

Figure 1 puts every priced version on one chart. Price says little about the number of seats: a nine-seat van and a seven-seat SUV can cost the same. Range is what separates the groups. The vans stay low, none above 381 km whatever it costs. The MPVs spread from the small-van cars at 236 km to the Mercedes-Benz VLE at 713 km. The SUVs run from €49,900 to €147,923 and sit highest, while their WLTP range stays between 390 and 748 km. Past the middle of that price span, more money does not reliably buy more range.

Is the third row standard or an option?

The catalog records the most seats a version can have, so a car listed as a seven-seater may be sold with five seats as standard and two more as an option. We checked each SUV and MPV line against the makers' European sites and launch material in October 2026. In eight lines the third row is an option: the Lucid Gravity (standard from Touring Plus), Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV (standard in the UK), Mercedes-Benz EQT, Mercedes-Benz GLB, Mercedes-Benz VLE (five or six seats at launch), Tesla Model X (stock cars only; no new orders), Volkswagen ID. Buzz (long wheelbase) and Škoda Peaq (five seats standard). For these, the catalog price is the price of a five-seater, and the third row adds to it; ask for the seven-seat price. The NIO EL8 and Tesla Model X are sold from stock only.

For the Mercedes-Benz EQV and Nissan Townstar EV we could not confirm whether the extra seats are standard. Two cars the catalog lists with extra seats are left out of this page because we could not match the seat count to what is sold in Europe:

• The catalog lists the Tesla Model Y with seven seats, but Tesla sells it in Europe as a five-seater; the six-seat Model Y L was approved for the EU in December 2025 and had not launched by August 2026.
• The catalog lists the short-wheelbase Volkswagen ID. Buzz with six seats, but we could not confirm a six-seat short-wheelbase car; the long-wheelbase ID. Buzz is the one with a third row.

How we counted

The population is every version the catalog lists as on sale on 27 October 2026 (launched, with no end date or one in the future) whose specification gives six or more seats, with repeated rows for the same version counted once and the rows above left out: 90 versions in 31 model lines. We group them by body: SUVs, MPVs and people carriers with six or seven seats, and passenger vans with eight or nine. Prices are catalog list prices in euros, not a dealer quote, and not every car is sold in every market. WLTP range is the official lab figure the makers publish; on a motorway expect less, and with a full load of people and luggage less again. Our motorway range guide covers how much.

What this leaves out

The catalog does not measure how usable the third row is. For adults, check the legroom and headroom figures on a test sit; the large SUVs and the long-wheelbase people carriers are the ones built for it. It also does not give a comparable boot figure with every seat in use: makers measure it differently, and some quote it with the third row folded. Our cargo space guide explains how to read boot figures. Child seats are a third gap: some third rows have ISOFIX points and some do not, so check the exact car. To shortlist, open the version pages linked in the tables, then put two or three finalists in the comparison tool. For five-seat SUVs, see the electric SUV list and the cheapest electric SUVs.
