 5/7 family SUVs
These models are appreciated for the ability to carry up to seven people. Of course, the two additional places in the trunk are not always very comfortable. But they can be used for troubleshooting and teens can feel comfortable. Here are the models that can accommodate up to seven people.

                                                                       Honda CRV

 The all-new Honda CR-V has just arrived on the market. This model is a bestseller in the United States, but more difficult to convince us. New in this model, in addition to a design that is muscle and a modular platform trendy, there is no diesel engine under the hood. There is gasoline (blocks of 173 and 193 hp) and it is also a novelty, the hybrid (184 hp). Alas for this SUV, all the engines are "malésés" including the hybrid engine that fared better than the others with the maximum (with the transmission 4x4) 140 € malus (it will be 160 € in 2019). Also unpublished, the possibility to have seven seats (two additional seats) with high-end Executive finish except for the hybrid that is only five seats. Five spacious seats since the Honda CR-V knows how to treat its passengers. The quality of the materials is serious and the finishing of a very good level. Soundproofing is also to be highlighted as well as the ride comfort. Available in 4x2 or 4x4, the CR-V is appreciated in quiet driving. Despite a comfortable power of 173 or 193 hp, the CR-V is associated with small gasoline engines of 1.5 liters of displacement. In addition, the weight of the model that exceeds 1.5 tons does not facilitate the work of the gasoline blocks. Sports driving enthusiasts will be sorry for it, family carers concerned with the comfort of passengers will appreciate. In entry level with the finish comfort, the endowment is interesting with as standard equipment in addition to the reading of the panels, DAB 8HP radio with 5 '' screen. USB plug. Bluetooth, cruise control and speed limiter, air conditioning and automatic lights, heated seats and 60/40 folding bench seat, 17-inch alloy wheels, keyless opening and starting, adaptive cruise control, Lane keeping assistance system. At the top of the range, only the Executive finish can be fitted with two additional seats at the rear. If their comfort is limited, they can troubleshoot. Note that in seven places, the second row seat becomes sliding.

                                                                        Nissan X-Trail

An extended version of the Nissan Qashqai, the Nissan X-Trail seats seven people in limited third-row comfort. The two additional seats in the trunk reduce the amount of cargo that becomes ridiculous. Moreover, there is already a big difference when it is a X-Trail five-seater or seven-seater (the two extra places are charged € 900 *), since the trunk volume goes from 565 liters to 445 liters when the two additional seats are folded. Like the Renault Koleos whose platform it shares, this model is available in two- and four-wheel drive versions. A single gasoline block of 163 hp in the program of this model and two diesels of 130 and 177 hp. These last two engines can receive a XTronic type continuously variable automatic transmission. This model has had a makeover in 2017 by adopting a new, more modern front panel. That does not change the qualities and the defects of this SUV which profits from a rich endowment even in entry-level, which is pleasant to drive and which displays good performances, whatever the chosen engine. In terms of bad points, it is a heavy model that has diesels a little sound and whose rear seats in the third row are narrowed (indeed as on many of its competitors)

* Not available with 163HP DIG-T block in Vista finish.
