None of these are best for - family needs 7 seats regularly, if you need 7 seats, in Australia you can only relegate to minivan or people mover called here. Came from Canada, I can tell you none of these can fit 7 people comfortably for a decent trip, someone will have to suffer. That’s the problem I have since moving here, why don’t we have real full size SUVs? Why the parking space is designed so tight. You have such a vast country but learning the traffics and road and urban design from country 1/5 of your size, just unbelievable. Cadillac Escalate or Chevy Suburban will be perfect for family needs 7 seats regularly.

I have no clue how the kodiaq can be classed as a large suv when the tiguan allspace is a mid-size. They have almost identical dimensions, infact the tiguan is longer and taller, as well as riding on the same platform and offering the same powertrains. Also, having trim levels from the line-up that vary from second to base all the way to top trims is ridiculous for a "comparison" especially when features are a consideration.

There's been no discontinuation of the CX-9 in the Australian market yet. It's ongoing alongside the similarly-sized CX-90 until later this year - and even then it's no different to a generational change. The current CX-9 is over seven years old, so at the end of its model cycle.

Australia's VFACTS sales categorisation defines it as such, and while it's only 17mm longer in overall length, the Kodiaq's extra 86mm of wheelbase translates into a noticeably larger and more useful interior, pushing it up a size division.

Hi Damien, not for nothing, but we've grouped the cars into size and price points where we could. Medium SUVs in the circa $45K range, Large in the $55K bracket and X-Large around $65K. We tried our best to match these as closely as possible, but could only get cars like the Palisade in Highlander spec. Our data and research shows that buyers in market tend to shop to a price point, not a trim level so we've done the best we could to find three family car budgets and focussed on those.

Everyone's requirements are different and not everyone needs an MPV. MPV makes sense when use of third row is regular. There are families of 4 or 5, which occasionally get to use 7 seats in case of extended family visits. And these SUVs can easily handle the occasional use of 7 seats while having near flat loading space when third row not in use.

Just because they are the same under the skin doesn't mean that they are the same car. Both have completely different bodies and packaging, hence the difference in space, and both brands did they're own thing when it came to the drive experience. Take it from someone who only just drove and cross shopped both of them. They are very different vehicles in many ways. Look at them and drive them for yourself and make a judgment before commenting on professionals who have extensively tested these vehicles back to back.

Worst ever? That's a bit rough - While the Palisade and Sorento were the most expensive variants in their respective ranges, we chose ,pre afforadable varaints in other ranges where we could - including base models. Understanding that not all families have the same freedom of budget we picked a broad range of price points. It probably comes as no surprise that the more you spend, the more you get - both in terms of space and equipment. It's important to look at key space, safety, and features too - which we've tried to shine a light on here.
