Volvo updated the XC and as a consequence boosted its all-electric range to 28 miles. Perhaps more importantly for those looking to transport many passengers, the forward-facing rearmost seats are large enough for adults to travel in relative comfort вЂ“ although those nearing six feet tall and above may struggle with headroom.Д«eing a PHEV (plug-in hybrid), you will still have to fill up with petrol - unless you only travel short distances and plug in religiously - and as a result, have to live with a certain level of emissions from the exhaust pipe.

Yes, cars such as the Tesla Model X are all-electric and offer much greater acceleration, but the XC90 is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to execution - it feels far more upmarket inside than the others here - plus it is more affordable than the likes of the Model X. If you'd prefer a plug-in hybrid that offers the potential of zero-emissions transport for shorter journeys - provided you charge regularly - and it is desirability, comfort and refinement you are after in your seven-seater, then look no further than the Volvo XC90 T8 PHEV.

This means there is ample space for eight adults plus a decent amount of luggage, provided you are creative with where you store the latter вЂ“ such as under the rear seats.ДЄdditional practical touches such as electric sliding doors and a split tailgate (you can either open the full boot door or smaller glass hatch instead) help make the EQV arguably the most practical all-electric car on this list. Out of all the cars on this list, the EQV is champion of interior space, thanks to it originating as a van-based people carrier. It promises over 200 miles of range plus all the bells and whistles a modern-day Mercedes has to offer вЂ“ including an impressive media system called MBUX, which features very slick voice controls. The EQV is an electric version of the fossil fuel-powered Mercedes V-Class. But, that doesn't mean there aren't already incredible deals on the BuyaCar website. It's new to the UK - and the world - which means it's expensive to buy new - prices start at over ВЈ70,000. Prices are still high due to the fact it's electric, but we can see the appeal this seven-seater would have.ДЄ couple of housekeeping items first: the Mercedes EQV is actually an eight-seater. We're just beginning to see glimpses of the e-NV200 Combi appearing on the used market. Performance is similarly modest, with a 0-62mph time of 14.0 seconds and a top speed of 76mph. It isnвЂ™t like passengers will be trapped in the back for 300 miles at a time either, as the e-NV200 only has a range of around 120 miles. Knee room might be a tad tight, but thanks to the height of the rear seats, the fact they recline, and the impressive amount of headroom, most should be comfy when travelling in the rear row. Unlike some others on this list, the e-NV200 Combi offers decent space for adults sitting in the rearmost (forward-facing) seats. While the e-NV200 Combi is slightly let down by its somewhat sluggish acceleration and average interior packaging, the fact remains that if you want a relatively affordable electric car with seven seats, it is one of your best options. Whichever model you go for, you can expect a large touchscreen, reversing camera, LED headlights, heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and adaptive cruise control.ДЄlongside the range of electric seven-seater SUVs we also have van-based options like the Nissan e-NV200 Combi. It's worth noting that the maximum supported charging speed is 3.3kW - in comparison, many electric cars can charge at up to 11kW. Charge it at every opportunity, and Kia reckons over 170mpg is possible, but fail to keep the batteries topped up and you could see this plummet below 40mpg thanks to the added weight of the batteries.Д¬harging the plug-in hybrid takes 3.5 hours from a dedicated home charger or a little over five hours using a standard domestic socket. The plug-in hybrid uses a much larger battery, though, which means an electric range of up to 35 miles should see many people through their daily commutes. The hybrid manages a mile or two cruising with little input from the engine, helping the heavy SUV achieve around 40mpg - similar to the diesel model. It's coupled with an electric motor and is available as a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid.

While the latest Kia Sorento gets a 2.2-litre diesel engine - much like the car it replaced - it's the 1.6-litre petrol engine we're interested in today. Type of electric vehicle Plug-in hybrid (hybrid option also available)
