If you have a large family or are constantly car-pooling and carting around a car full of people, here are some of the best SUVs to accommodate all your needs.
Many people enjoy the comfort and safety of driving around in a big car but don’t necessarily need all that space, and most of the seats stay empty. But there are big families out there –and they actually need a third-row seat on a regular basis and extra cargo for all their gear.
Kia Telluride
This is one of the best SUVs for a large family, with a well-equipped three-row SUV and the largest passenger space in its class. It’s an 8-seater with a third-row middle seat, and the second-row seats move quickly out of the way for easy access to the third row. With lots of legroom, cargo space, and amenities like USB ports on the sides of the front seats, this is definitely a good choice all around.
Hyundai Palisade
The Palisade presents more like a minivan, offering ample passenger space, 16 cupholders, great storage capacity, and a power-folding third row.
Ford Explorer
If you have a large family and a boat or trailer to tag on as well, this may be the best SUV choice for you. It also has lots of headroom and plenty of cargo space.
Toyota Highlander
The Toyota Highlander comes with a second-row captain’s chair to seat 7 or a bench seat to accommodate 8 passengers. There are two USB ports for second-row passengers, and there’s also a 120-volt outlet and climate controls. In addition, there’s plenty of cargo space and it can tow 5,000 pounds.
Honda Pilot
The 3-row Honda Pilot is an old-time favorite for both large and small families, offering advanced safety features such as advanced collision warning with automatic emergency braking, and lane-keep assist.
VW Atlas
The VW Atlas is a seven-seater with plenty of cargo room and second and third-row seats stowed.
Subaru Ascent
The Subaru Ascent handles well, all the seats recline, with family-friendly conveniences such as reading lights, grab handles, and a sunshade for every passenger.
Chevrolet Traverse
The three-row Chevrolet Traverse is wider and longer than most and has plenty of cargo room –a ‘trunk’s worth’ more space than a Honda Pilot. It’s a great family vehicle and at a bargain price.
