When it comes to finding a 3 row SUV, it’s important to consider your lifestyle and requirements. If you are often driving teens or adults, a small 3 row SUV like the Kia Sorento would make for a cramped ride but great if you’re looking for more cargo room for weekend camping trips. If you’re looking to upgrade because of a growing family, safety might be a top priority making the Honda Pilot, Kia Telluride, and the Mazda CX-90 all options to consider.

No matter what kind of 3 row SUV you’re looking for, this list compiled by Cartelligent will help you navigate the available options.

Cartelligent’s Top Picks:

“The XC90 is stylish, safe, comfortable, and well-appointed.  Most clients like the size of this suv, which is smaller than most three row suvs, yet offers 7 passenger capability to those who need it.  Additionally, it’s available also as a 6 passenger configuration with second row captain’s chair seating or the middle row bench seat.”
