Does the Touran have 7 seats?

The Touran does not have 7 seats; it is a 5-door, 5-seater MPV with dimensions as follows: 4395mm in length, 1794mm in width, and 1634mm in height. The wheelbase is 2678mm, equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, featuring body stability control, traction control, brake assist, front seatbelt reminder, child seat anchors, rear parking sensors, and hill start assist. The Touran's tire specifications are 205/55R16, with front MacPherson strut independent suspension and rear four-link independent suspension. The vehicle's engine delivers a maximum power of 96 kW (131 horsepower) and has a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters.
The Touran L indeed has a 7-seater version, which I specifically looked into when purchasing my car. The third row features two independent small seats that fold flat with the trunk floor. However, be aware that not all trims come standard with 7 seats - for example, the Comfort trim requires an additional payment for this option. With the third row folded, the trunk space is enormous. When needed, simply pull a cord and the seats pop up instantly, making it perfect for families with two kids who occasionally need to transport grandparents. That said, the third row can feel cramped for adults on long journeys, though it works fine for short emergency trips.
As a Touran L owner for five years, this car can really fit seven people! I bought the automatic Comfort version with an optional seven-seat package, which cost an extra 4,000 yuan. The third-row seat design is quite ingenious—there are foldable seats hidden under the floor, and you just need to lift the cover and pull them out when needed. However, the seat cushions are a bit thin, making them suitable for kids, but adults may experience leg numbness after sitting for over an hour. The trunk space is significantly reduced, but for family trips, you can squeeze a stroller into the gaps between the seats to make it work.
