EV Channels Review

This video from Motormouth presents a compelling Top 5 list of non-luxury, mid-size, 3-row SUVs for 2022, with honorable mentions for the Dodge Durango and Volkswagen Atlas. The Durango is praised for its exceptional handling, powerful V8 option, and impressive towing capacity, despite its thirst for fuel. The Atlas is highlighted for its immense interior space, making it a great family hauler, though its average quality scores prevent it from the top ranks. The ranked list begins with the Mazda CX-9 at number 5, lauded for its surprisingly agile handling and upscale interior on top trims, powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder. The Honda Pilot takes fourth place, recognized for its V6 power and space, but criticized for its aging design and lack of electrification. The Toyota Highlander secures third, offering both V6 and a highly efficient four-cylinder hybrid option, though its touchscreen and seating configurations are noted as areas for improvement. The Hyundai Palisade is the runner-up at number 2, praised for its bold styling, luxurious interior, and strong V6 performance, offering good value and tech. The top spot is awarded to the Kia Telluride, the Palisade's sibling, which excels in packaging, styling, and standard features, offering more value out-of-the-box. Both the Palisade and Telluride are noted for their spaciousness and comfortable driving dynamics, though the Telluride's rugged aesthetic and comprehensive standard features edge it out as the preferred choice for the reviewers.
