Update from OP:
Looked at a bunch of these options over the weekend. Didn’t test drive any yet, just looked at trunk space, seat comfort and configurations, things like where will my phone or purse go, etc. The Toyota Grand Highlander and the Pilot are the two front runners, which is completely the opposite of what I expected to happen.

That’s ridiculous. They are a family of FOUR.

Nissan? Did you read how they keep cars a long time??


My Nissan Armada is 10 years old and have had zero issues.

I have had a Mazda CX-9 for several years and it has been very reliable. The back row is relatively roomy. They just changed the models around, so I would go test the CX-9 and CX-90.

In the end we got another minivan because we just couldn’t beat the space without going to Suburban/Expedition.

But if I HAD to pick an SUV, I think I would have chosen Palisade or Telluride. All the others were too tight in the second row.


Do you mean the third row?

Again a family of 4.


DP here. What’s it to you? Our family of four drives a minivan and always has (since we had our second.)

Infiniti QX60. Great 2nd/3rd row legroom. Checks all the boxes.

The Passport doesn’t have a 3rd row, does it?


Correct they want 3rd row for DOGS. So a 5 seater for their family of 4 with large cargo area for dog crate would work as well

Accessing the third row is also really easy. Another big deal for us. The Volvo, which I looked at, had an annoying 3rd row access mechanism.

VW gets our vote. Audi is made by the same company and I would imagine their Q7 is also similar and good.

Unless it’s gotten better in recent years, the 3rd row in the Q7 is not great.

So what I have heard is the best 3 row SUV is the Kia EV9. It’s a EV but many reviewers are saying it is the best 3 row SUV on the market for space and driving.
