The seven-seat SUV segment is as competitive as ever, and its little wonder.

The three-row high-rider offers all the practicality of a less-than-cool people mover, but also the high ride height and great visibility of an SUV. Indeed, the seven-seater is now the choice of many Australian families.

With end of financial year (EOFY) sales now in full swing. there's a bunch of great deals to be found. Here's some of the best seven-seat SUV offers available today.
