7-seater 4x4...? any recommendations
Discussion
Had a 2005 xc90, 2009 disco 3 and now a 2012 disco 4
If you want comfort, build quality and space the xc90
However the engine and gearbox in the disco 4 (3.0 with 8 speed box) is years ahead of the volvo
Needless to say the disco is also far far more capable off-road.
Tried out a x5 and new range rover sport but they are not proper 7 seaters like the two mentioned above.
If you need loads of space and don't care about looks the Merc GL is huge.
Bit left field R class merc ....more of a van but pretty sure they came in 4wd.

i'm sure with the gl you can only get out of the very back seats on the drivers side.If you want comfort, build quality and space the xc90

Nissan Pathfinder, good bit of space even with the seats up, cheaper on road tax after 2010, I had an 07 but got fed up with paying £485 tax. You would get a 2010 maybe for that money.
Disco, high tax, small boot but I do like them.
Mitsubishi Shogun LWB, cheap tax, rear seats fold into floor as one meaning you cants just use one seat in boot when required. You would get a 2012/13 for the money you are talking about spending.
Audi Q7 would love one but like going through tyres apparently. Big boot space.
Toyota Landcruiser. Huge toy, older models have 8 seats
Kia sorrento, small 7 seater but not too bad looking
Mitsubishi Outlander, same as above
xC90 already mentioned.
Google 7 seat 4x4s and you will find a list of them. It all depends what you will be using it for.
