South African families, are you ready to ditch the expensive SUVs? AutoTrader reveals budget-friendly, seven-seater multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) that start at under R200 000.
Spacious and practical
MPVs offer a compact exterior with a surprisingly roomy interior, perfect for families, and although new MPVs offer excellent value, there are many deals in the used-car market.
Top budget-friendly picks

- Seats: 7 (though the last row is a tight squeeze).

Toyota Rumion/Suzuki Ertiga (Starting at R276 410)
- Spacious middle row and good fuel economy.
- Powerful 1.5-litre engine (77kW, 138Nm).
- Standard safety features (ABS, stability control).
- Higher-spec models offer luxuries like push-button start and climate control.
- Volkswagen Caddy (Starting at R346 210):
- Refined driving experience and comfortable ride.
- More powerful 1.6-litre engine (81kW, 152Nm).
