Mitsubishi’s seven-seater starts at AED 189,000 and goes up to AED 240,000 for the top GSR. It is even known for its reliability and real off-road ability, not for its flashy features.

Last Words | Top 7 Seater Cars in UAE

When looking for a 7-seater for your family, it’s more important to think about what’s most important than to get the fanciest one. 

The Palisade and Telluride show that you can get luxury features and room without spending a lot of money on a Toyota. But if you have the money, the Land Cruiser and Patrol are the most reliable and capable 7-seater cars in the UAE for the desert. 

On the other hand, the Fortuner and X-Trail are great everyday cars for families who only care about value and usefulness.
