Best 3-Row SUVs of 2022

What to Consider Before Buying

Pros

• Space: While the seven-seater version is usually based on the smaller model at first, the former has slightly larger dimensions to accommodate more passengers. Having room available for two extra occupants is beneficial for larger groups of people, and when the last row isn’t being utilized for passengers, the ability to fold them down allows for significantly more cargo space.
• Capability: This type of car usually has excellent capabilities. They have strong engine lineups, great towing abilities and some have a standard 4x4 drivetrain, but this is optional on most. This means that it’s not only a great choice for families, but also for those who regularly venture off the beaten track.
• Utility: Thanks to its greater stature, they offer excellent cargo-carrying capacities. This doesn’t just come in handy on long trips for luggage, but also when all of the benches are folded down, easily accommodating bigger items.

Cons

• Third-row can be often be cramped
• The additional seating cuts down on trunk space
• More expensive than smaller crossovers
• Larger and usually more difficult to maneuver
