So far the winner seems to be Kia Carnival. At least it has some boot space at the back. No more than 30K. The seats for 2 of the adults need to be easy to get in because they are elderly. Recommendations anyone! Note: Trying to avoid a van or people mover (Estima) if possible, even so the Estima was difficult to get adults in the back.

youre joking right! you want to seat SEVEN people and 4 are adults but you don't want a people mover!
DREAM ON.
your closest bet is a nissan pressage

A Carnival is a people mover. One big thing to take into account is the Kia will depreciate faster than almost anything. If V6 they also love petrol too. Also you want to seat 7 people and you want to avoid a people mover! Not really realistic if you want ease of entry and exit.

No, don't get me wrong, happy to look at a people mover, just trying to find the right car.

the NEW SHAPE pressage and MPV are your best bet.

Our family has 3 Kia vehicles BUT be very carefull about the Carnival.Depending on the year they can have very expensive engine problems.Google is your friend - check very carefully.

The New diesel Kia Carnivals are good, Also MB Vito and VW Caraville (with factory fitted seats), Maybe more Van/People mover but overall very close in size to the Kia.

Frankly IMO you are best served by an estima. the seats are adult sized

my mate has a Chrysler Voyager, with 7 adults on board it still humps along quickly & there's sh!tloads of room even with full sized adults. the seats are rather comfy when your butt has been parked up for some time too.
