Does the Wildlander have a 7-seater version?

Wildlander does have a 7-seater version. As the fourth member of the TNGA product family following the eighth-generation Camry, C-HR, and the all-new Levin, Wildlander is also Guangqi Toyota's first TNGA mid-size SUV model. In terms of exterior design, Wildlander retains a large number of chiseled polygonal shapes, incorporating elegant and refined styling elements into its front fascia. The upper grille seamlessly integrates with the slim, sharp headlights on both sides, creating a sense of horizontal stretch. For the interior, Wildlander's dashboard features extensive horizontal polygonal designs with strong layering. It comes equipped with a 10.1-inch floating thin center console screen, and the prominently protruding air conditioning panel ensures convenient operation.
I've always driven SUVs, and the Wildlander indeed doesn't have a 7-seat option, as the entire lineup features a 5-seat design. This is somewhat disappointing for me since my growing family needs more seating space. Toyota maintains the 5-seat layout in this compact SUV category to ensure driving agility and fuel efficiency, as adding a third row would compromise handling and safety. However, Toyota does offer the Highlander, a midsize SUV with 7 seats, which provides more space and is better suited for family trips. The Wildlander excels in urban commuting and fuel economy, with decent trunk capacity. But if you frequently transport more than 6 people, it's advisable to consider the Highlander or the Sienna MPV directly. Avoid modifying the Wildlander to add seats, as its limited dimensions would severely reduce luggage space and compromise safety.
