Parkers – the definitive resource for car buying advice in the UK – has partnered Absolute Radio to bring you the award for the Best Large Family Car in the prestigious Parkers New Car Awards 2021. And the winner has been revealed today (26 October) is the SEAT Tarraco – one of a total of 21 award-winning vehicles announced by Parkers. The SEAT’s combination of great value, space and handling puts it out front.

When your family grows, your lifestyle changes – whether you’re thinking of the number of seats, or room in the boot. So, if you’re thinking of a large saloon, hatchback, estate or SUV, there’s an almost unlimited number of options. Our winner, the SEAT Tarraco, manages to combine the needs of a large family and the keen driver perfectly, and do so at an impressively low price.

It finishes ahead of the Skoda Superb, which is now available as a plug-in hybrid, and remains the best alternative to a premium-badged rival, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. This popular German saloon and estate has been given a major facelift for 2021, with a big upgrade of its driver tech and high-efficiency engines and is highly recommended.

Keith Adams, Parkers.co.uk Editor, said: ‘The SEAT Tarraco has emerged as the large SUV to buy if you're looking for an unbeatable combination of good value, smart styling and the option of seven seats. We love the way SEAT has tuned the Tarraco's steering and suspension to make this large SUV handle and drive like a smaller, sportier car. It's also stylish inside and out. Where the Tarraco really excels, however, is with its low prices and excellent finance, which put this substantial car within the reach of so many families.’

Now in its fourth year, the Parkers New Car Awards 2021 reflect the views of Britain’s car-buying public, with winners decided by a combination of the site’s expert reviewers’ verdicts in thousands of miles of road testing and the purchasing habits of the website’s 2.3+ million users actively involved in the buying process.

More details about the Best Large Family Car award can be found alongside all of the winners in the Parkers New Car Awards 2021 on the Parkers website.
