Your Volkswagen dealership, Complexe VW 440 in Laval, close to Terrebonne and Montreal North, on the North Shore of Montreal, presents this Top 5 of the 2024 Best 7- Passenger SUVs, to help you make an informed decision.
The Tiguan 7- passenger SUV has been cruising our streets for 15 years, and never ceases to impress. Although it is part of the compact SUV category, you should know that it can welcome up to 7- passengers. Available in 5- or 7- passenger configurations, the Tiguan is both agile and versatile.
Under the hood, you will find a 2.0 L 4- cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft. maximum torque. The 2024 VW Tiguan specs sheet is also loaded with innovative features.
Moreover, the 7- passenger SUV can tow up to 1,500 pounds and offers an amount of cargo space that can reach up to 1,860 liters.
Often considered to be an excellent choice, Volkswagen Canada’s 2024 Tiguan has been around for some time and keeps gaining in popularity year after year. With an efficient all-wheel drive system and spacious interior, you can head out on your adventures with complete confidence.
The 7- passenger SUV for sale, the 2024 VW Atlas, provides you with an impeccable driving experience, a user-friendly interior and loads of modern features.
Cruising our streets since 2018, the 2024 VW Atlas specs sheet is truly impressive! Discover the new 2.0 L 4- cylinder turbocharged powertrain that produces 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft. maximum torque. Not only is it one of the best 7- passenger SUVs out there, it stands out with a very comfortable interior, a unique design and loads of innovative technologies.
That is not all! The Volkswagen Atlas can tow up to 5,000 pounds and cargo space can reach up to 2,741 liters (seats down). Heading out for an adventure with your trailer or your boat becomes child’s play!
A more recent contender, the Mazda CX-90 has taken the place of the late CX-9, which had become obsolete throughout the years. In fact, the CX-9 appeared for the first time in 2007, while the CX-90 only dates back to 2023.
If you are looking for the older model, you will have to find it among pre-owned 7- passenger SUV models for sale. The Mazda CX-9 can tow up to 3,500 pounds with the 2.5 L 4- cylinder turbo engine that produces 227 horsepower and 310 lb-ft. maximum torque.
Finally, this SUV does boast an elegant style and offers a comfortable interior that will make the hours spent out on the roads enjoyable.
The Hyundai Santa Fe has been cruising our streets, in the province, since 2001. During its lifetime it has undergone several transformations, and this 7- passenger midsize SUV does have a stunning design.
It is either available with a fuel, hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrain. With the 2.5 L 4- cylinder turbo engine, the Santa Fe produces 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft. maximum torque. The PHEV trim is equipped with a 1.6 L 4- cylinder engine, combined with an electric motor, for a net 261 horsepower and 258 lb-ft. maximum torque.
Finally, the Santa Fe has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, which places it well under the 7- passenger Volkswagen Atlas SUV with 5,000 pounds.
The 7- passenger Ford Explorer has been around for no less than 33 years! Though it has undergone several transformations since it arrived, the third row of seats in this vehicle is not suitable for adults, given that it is much too narrow.
It is available with the choice of three fuel powertrains, including a 3.0 L V6 that produces 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft. maximum torque, and a hybrid model that produces 318 horsepower and 322 lb-ft. maximum torque.
The Ford Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds and cargo space can reach up to 2,486 liters.
All in all, it is a rugged midsize SUV, though several automobile experts believe its reliability still needs to be proven.
Among this Top 5 2024 7- passenger SUVs, it is clear to see that Volkswagen models stand out positively thanks to the significant capacities and performance they offer, on top of being very reliable vehicles.
