Ford SUVs that commonly seat seven
Seven-seat configurations in Ford's sport-utility lineup are built around three-row interiors. Availability of second-row captain's chairs can reduce seating from seven to six in some trims.
Ford Explorer
- Explorer — a three-row SUV commonly configured to seat seven; second row can be a bench (seven) or captain's chairs (six).
Explorer remains a core option for families seeking a practical, feature-rich seven-seat SUV with a versatile cargo area and modern safety tech.
Ford Expedition
- Expedition — a full-size SUV configurable for seven or eight passengers depending on bench vs. captain's chairs in the second row.
Expedition emphasizes space and towing capability, with multiple trims offering varying levels of rear-seat comfort and technology.
Ford vans and large multi-passenger options
For larger groups or commercial uses, Ford's passenger vans provide flexible seven-seat (and more) layouts, with higher occupancy possible in most configurations.
Ford Transit Passenger Van
- Transit Passenger Van — configurable for seven or more seats, with some layouts supporting up to 15 passengers depending on wheelbase, roof height, and seating arrangement.
Transit is designed for both people movement and cargo flexibility, making seven-seat configurations common in fleets and large families alike.
Ford Tourneo family
- Ford Tourneo (Connect, Grand Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Custom, Grand Tourneo Custom) — regional options offering seven-seat configurations, with higher-end setups supporting up to nine passengers in some markets.
Tourneo models are the main Ford MPV line outside the U.S., prized for versatility and ease of access in urban and rural environments.
Global market notes
Markets differ in which models are offered and how many seats they include. In the U.S., Explorer and Expedition are the primary seven-seat SUVs, while Transit covers larger groups. In Europe and other regions, the Tourneo family and related MPVs are common seven-seat choices, reflecting regional demand for flexible passenger capacity.
Summary
Ford provides multiple seven-seat options across its lineup. For SUVs, the Explorer and Expedition are the standard choices in the United States, while larger Transit vans address higher-capacity needs. In global markets, Ford's Tourneo MPVs deliver seven-seat configurations suited to family and commercial use. If seven seats matter, reviewing seating options, second-row configurations, and cargo capacity on a specific model year is essential before purchasing.
