8 seats buying guide
What eight-seater cars are there?
With a seven-seater, fitting two seats in the boot is relatively easy, but eight-seaters need three seats in the final row, which means you’re almost always limited to a van shape.
Not to worry, though, because while the outsides of eight-seaters may resemble vans, car manufacturers do a lot of work to make them feel more ‘normal’ inside, fitting them with comfortable upholstery and large touchscreen infotainment systems.
Eight-seater car options are considerably more limited – if you’re looking at more modern options that might be ULEZ-exempt and cheaper to run, you’re presented with just one option, the Land Rover Defender 130.
Popular eight-seater cars
In Land Rover speak, ‘130’ signifies the longest Defender available, and the only one with eight seats, so don’t go for a ‘90’ or ‘110’ if you need the extra seats in the back.
Stellantis, the parent company of many brands, has also built a series of van-based options for you, including the Peugeot Traveller, Vauxhall Vivaro and Citroën SpaceTourer, all available with petrol, diesel or electric powertrains.
Other popular models include the premium, business-class Mercedes V-Class, the Ford Tourneo Custom and the Volkswagen Transporter.
What are eight-seater cars like to live with?
Owning an eight-seater car comes with lots of advantages – primarily the extra passenger and cargo space, which makes commutes with a car full far more pleasant.
You need a lot of extra length to accommodate three full rows of seats, so you might notice the extra proportions when navigating tight car parks, but thankfully most modern options come with a suite of sensors and cameras to help you.
Eight-seater vs. five-seater cars
Five-seater cars are much more compact and tend to be more fuel efficient as a result, making them a great choice for small families or even solo drivers.
Eight-seater cars for sale aren’t just good for carrying eight passengers, though. Even if you just need a lot of boot space for your adventurous lifestyle, an eight-seater car can come in handy.
Who are eight-seater cars suitable for?
Used eight-seater cars are great for large families who often find themselves carrying around not only their own offspring, but their friends too. A perfect match for those parents who run the after-school sports clubs and tend to be lumbered with all the kit.
However, you might also wish to consider an eight-seater car if you regularly car-share – businesses may want the extra versatility for ride-shares, and because most models are van-based, there tends to be plenty of room for eight adults. Something that’s not always the case with seven-seater cars.
Should I buy a used eight-seater car?
How many suitcases fit in an eight-seater?
This entirely depends on your seating arrangement – and how many seats you’ve folded down.
You’re unlikely to be able to fit eight full suitcases and eight passengers at the same time, but you’ll fit a heck of a lot more luggage in an eight-seater than you would in a regular car.
Is there an eight-seater hybrid?
Not entirely, but Land Rover sells mild hybrid versions of its Defender 130 for reduced emissions, and there are fully-electric eight-seater vans for sale like the Peugeot e-Traveller.
Which eight-seater has the most room?
Van-based models tend to have more room – we think the Ford Tourneo Custom is built well for families.
Are eight-seater cars easy to drive?
Apart from their dimensions, eight-seater cars are no different to drive than any other car.
What’s the difference between a six- and an eight-seater?
Six-seaters tend also to only come in van format – in this instance, they usually comprise two rows of three, leaving lots more room for luggage behind.
Eight-seaters usually have two single seats in the front and two rows of three behind.
