What’s the Best 3-Row SUV of 2024?

Күн бұрын

If you need a family vehicle to shuttle around your kids - or maybe your elderly parents - but won’t be caught dead in a minivan, what’s your best option? The answer, increasingly, is something like one of the seven vehicles tested here: a three-row SUV, which has replaced the minivan as the family vehicle of choice.
The three-row SUV class is huge, so we couldn’t bring all of them to this test - but we did gather some of the most popular 2024 models: the Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Kia Telluride, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Grand Highlander and the Volkswagen Atlas. And we got the nice versions, with all of them loaded to the roof with amenities and family-friendly features.
To test these family haulers we brought them to Palm Springs, Calif., and drove them around town, on twisty mountain roads and through some brutal Southern California traffic. We measured their cargo areas, assessed their features, tested child-safety seat fitment, scored their value for the money and took them on a 250-mile loop to see what kind of gas mileage they get in real-world driving. It was all to determine which one of these family trucksters is the best. Here’s how they finished:
1. 2024 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy Night Edition
2. 2024 Volkswagen Atlas SEL Premium R-Line
3. 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Limited
4. 2024 Kia Telluride SX-Prestige X-Line
5. 2024 Honda Pilot Elite
6. 2024 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum
7. 2024 Subaru Ascent Touring

$55,000 for a Hyundai???? The world is definitely changing! You could buy a chevy tahoe for that amount of money. Or even a Mercedes-Benz. But the palisade was probably my favorite aswell. Probably worth more like $40,000 or 39k in my book.

Forgot to mention the car seat friendly tilt in the Atlas and also the fact that you could get seconnd row bench in the top trim.

Absolute nonsense, MISLEADING VW is the LEAST reliable, with the WORST owners ratings! Also it only gets a "MARGINAL" rating in IIHS front crash backseat safety test. The 2.0 engine is undersized (wear&tear), it is the 2nd most expensive vehicle in this test, high deepreciation, worst user interface, loudest, etc... Also there are dozens of other reviews of Atlas and I never saw anyone else praise its handling the way you did... You gave it 18 points less for the huge difference in fuel economy and then give it the same 18 points more for child-safety seats, makes no sense...

I really like that Honda gives you the ability to get three passengers in the second row in top trims. Captains chairs are a giant no-go for my family of five for the times when we need to maximize cargo while everyone coming along. That removable middle seat set up is so much more useful. That more than makes up for things like a smaller screen.

This is exactly how I feel. Yes my 3 kids don’t always want to seat together, but when we need to maximize cargo space I don’t want to have to choose between cargo and a kid 😄. Say a a large Costco run, a trip to the airport, or trip to Homegooods, you want to still be able to carry all your kids and cargo. Wish more manufacturers made second row bench available in higher trims besides Pilot and Atlas.

The Telluride is the best one hands down. I like the interior and exterior design much better plus the ride in the Telluride is superior to the Palisade according to reviewers (quieter interior). The GH looks very cheap and bland interior wise and the only power train which I’m more interested in is the Hybrid Max and that is more than $60k which puts it at close to $10k grand more than the Telluride. One thing I really like about the GH that I would like the Telluride to implement on their redesign is a panoroof.

@@JohnLee-tb3nhWarranty length does not equal reliability. Reliability = how seldom / frequently things go wrong i.e. can one rely on the car to do what it’s supposed to whenever you need it to? Warranty length = until when the dealer will repair the stuff that goes wrong, for free. If Toyota dropped their warranty down to 6 months, the car would still be the most reliable one to own. Conversely, just because a Hyundai has 10-year warranty it says nothing about how often things go wrong with it and needs to visit the dealer over those 10 years. There have been horrific stories about Genesis (luxury Hyundai) owners not being able to get warranty repair appointments from the dealer.

Thank you for a comprehensive review of these 3-row SUVs. I am surprised you rated the handling on the Pilot so low? I find the SH-AWD system on the Pilot the most engaging of these SUVS. The steering can be a bit numb, but that is mostly corrected in sport mode. Though I rarely find the need for sport mode. In my experience when you accelerate out of a corner in the other vehicles, you really feel their size and weight. Doing the same in the Pilot allows the torque vectoring AWS to really help manage the heft. I find it also makes a big difference on slick surfaces. The AWD performance on snow, especially when cornering, is a step above the other systems, in my opinion. Many other vehicle journalists have reported similar results. We just got back from a road trip from Denver to Duluth and back. We were very impressed overall with our 24 Pilot Elite. Our best highway mpg was 33, and our worst was 21.5. The best was with a tail wind most of the way on a two lane highway with the cruse set at 69. The worse was with a strong headwind, (Hello Wyoming) with the cruise set at 77. This was with four adults and all our luggage. We didn't expect to get that good of MPG. Especially considering its boxy shape. Maybe it was because I washed and waxed it right before we left. 😉 We now have about 7k trouble free miles. We hope she stays that way.

The VW atlas has always been a solid choice it was its interior in the past that held it back some but they’ve fixed that aside from the tech it’s a bit complicated but works fine once you understand it so as long as you keep proper maintenance and use oem replacement parts only you should be ok after the warranty don’t believe the hype online 💯

Our 3 row SUV, the MDX A Spec with SH-AWD and a front double wishbone suspension, is perfect for this. It handles like a sport sedan, offering both fun and safety. The handling is comparable to German cars, and it has a reliable V6 engine. The only downside is its fuel efficiency. I know it's a family hauler but it does not have to drive like a yacht. The new Mazda CX 90 is missing as well.

The Grand Highlander in its highest trim is nicer than its Lexus cousin, and it looks significantly better!

The seats are not comfortable in the ascent and I agree with you, there's not a lot of places to put things and when you do have two drinks in the cup holders you don't have any room left to put anything anywhere else. I was real disappointed in this, but Subarus just not known to compete with the majority. They have a very limited market and their cars are cheap and they sell a lot of them like in Colorado but they are just simple and functional. There is nothing special about them

I'm surprised the ascent is even in this. It is so small on the inside it is not finished off very well and doesn't have much styling. But that's what Subaru is known for is very functional but not a lot of tech and they don't dare try to add hardly any styling cues. I drove an ascent and was really unimpressed with the comfort and the looks. And the way it drove. The cabin isn't very big either

Yes I agree the Pathfinder needs to upgrade their Tech and the size of that little dinky screen

The CX-90 has a better interior, better driving feel and less space for larger families. My choice.

WOW they got it wrong!!! Clearly number one is the Highlander and clearly the Honda pilot comes way in front of Hyundai and Kia last on the list should be the atlas not the Subaru … according to reliability.. NOTE. Their order had Nothing to do with RELIABILITY.. I guess CARS only rates on the # of cup holders and storage bins

Mazda CX-90! A much better car...its 3rd Row sucks though In fact, VW Atlas and Traverse are the only two choices if you wanna a car with an actual 3rd row (for adults) and not an "emergency/kids row".

This is absolutely ridiculous. You have obviously been paid by VW and Hyundai. There is no way you would ever pay your own money for either of those vehicles. Reliability must not have been one of your considerations based on your picks. Very sad, but I know not to waste any time watching any of your other videos.

Hyundai is twice as reliable as the competition. Hyundai comes with legendary 10-year 100,000-mile warranty. Twice the competition's.

This comparison might be the most faulty comparison on KZfaq. Just throwing random things in air. For example, handling of Pilot for low score (lol), almost ALL auto reviewers including auto engineers gave Pilot one of best rating on handling and ride quality. And then Grand highlander hybrid in comparison with gas vehicles (?) 😂 What you guys were thinking

Please next time please be considerate to ("all") manufacturers, who have nicer vehicles than, what was tested and in the same price range and comps.

There were many things we liked about the Atlas, including comfort, powertrain, handling and cargo volume. You can see how it stacks up against the competition in table-form here: www.cars.com/articles/whats-the-best-3-row-suv-for-2024-481470/
