WHAT ARE THE BEST 7-SEAT SUVS ON THE MARKET TODAY?

EV Channels Review

The CarGurus editorial team discusses the best 7-seat SUVs available, emphasizing that while minivans serve a similar purpose, SUVs offer a more stylish alternative. The podcast highlights a diverse range of vehicles, from the affordable Mitsubishi Outlander (with a plug-in hybrid option) to larger, more premium options like the Lincoln Aviator and Acura MDX. Key considerations for buyers include third-row usability, cargo space, and the availability of hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrains. The hosts particularly praise the Honda Pilot for its usable third row and clean styling, and the Acura MDX for offering a near-luxury experience at a more accessible price point. While acknowledging the popularity of models like the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade, the discussion also touches on the practicality of the Subaru Ascent and the capability of the Nissan Pathfinder. Reliability concerns are raised regarding the Jeep Grand Cherokee L, and the Lexus TX is noted as a disappointment. Ultimately, the team agrees that the 7-seat SUV segment is highly competitive with few bad options, benefiting consumers with well-executed vehicles across various price points.
