[quote=Anonymous]I love my Forester, but I'd like to trade it in for an SUV/crossover with a third row.   I'm a bit overwhelmed at all the research and would like some real-world straight-talk about where to focus my energies.

[u]Four important points:[/u]

1.  I'd like the third-row to fold down when not in use (most of the time) for the cargo space, and then pull up when I need to carpool my kids' friends.  For the most part, smaller is better (I don't feel like my Forester is too small) so long as the third row is functional *for kids* and easy to convert back and forth.  
2.  I want a hybrid/electric car.  I do almost entirely local driving, and not much of it.  (I've had my car 6.5 years and put only 31,000 miles on it.)  My habits won't change (much) over the next few years.
3.  This is not an urgent need.  If it makes sense to wait a year or two for a Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid, or the Volvo all-electric line, or to get off of a Tesla waiting list, those are all doable.
4.  We have the money for a luxury car if that turns out to be the right way to go, but I'm happy enough with my Forester and see no reason to upgrade to luxury unless it is necessary for my other goals.

[u]From what I can tell, my options are:[/u]
Volvo XC90 Hybrid
Acura MDX Hybrid
Toyota Highlander Hybrid
Tesla X
Nissan Rogue Hybrid
Lexus RXh
