Need a new family car with lots of space

We are upgrading our Mazda 5 and want something that is large and fun to drive. We've had issues in the past with my tall husband sitting in the front passenger seat leaving minimal leg room for a daughter. Our current car is a diesel, would a petrol engine be better?

If you want legroom, a Skoda Superb estate, preferably with the 1.4TSI 150 ACT engine and manual transmission.

I have a Mazda 6 Sport Nav (175 Manual) 2013 version which on the whole I am happy with especially the safety pack (Lane & rear view monitoring etc). I recently changed jobs and I am covering 20k miles...
My daughter and son-in-law are looking for a medium-sized, family hatchback, SUV or Estate. It needs to take three child seats in the middle row. Sadly, a big Land Rover will not fit in their street.
What seven-seater can your recommend for towing a caravan?

Large hatchback that offers excellent value for money. Limousine-like legroom and bootspace. Efficient range of engines. Improved even more with 2019 facelift.
