No matter if you have a large family, lots of friends, or both, a 3-row vehicle — be it minivan or SUV — can be a big help in daily life, with all of the room you need for people and their gear. Most 3-row vehicles also offer lots of cargo space when you’re not using all the rear rows of seats, making them even more practical.
To keep our list simple and straightforward, we’ve based it on the manufacturers’ list prices without the addition of tax, title, licensing, or delivery fees. You may be able to find an even better deal in your area if regional incentives are offered, so be sure to check with your local dealer.
