Sometimes you just need an SUV that has more room. These popular three-row SUVs come from Chevrolet, Kia, and Subaru. If you are looking for a sport utility vehicle with standard safety features and an extra row of space, look no further.

When Edmunds rated the 2023 Chevrolet Traverse, there were plenty of positives to note. It offers generous space in all three rows for passengers and has an easy-to-use infotainment system. All trim levels get 18 mpg in the city, 27 mpg on the highway, and 21 mpg combined. The V6 engine gets 310 horsepower, quick enough for a sport utility vehicle of this size.

While there isn’t anything wrong with the Traverse, it doesn’t have as many features as some of its similarly-priced competition. Drivers report that the Traverse can be hard to navigate and park, thanks to bad visibility. Edmunds estimates the Chevy SUV would cost $185 a month in gas, far below the $261 average.

Inside, some of the materials could use an upgrade. Edmunds notes that while the Traverse is a find three-row SUV, fine just doesn’t always cut it anymore. “Decidedly average,” one review said.

MSRP range: $34,220 – $53,900

The 2023 Kia Sorento is a good three-row SUV with a (presumably) reasonable price. The back seats have plenty of legroom for adults, and the infotainment system is new and easy to use. For those who have to transport many people around regularly, the Sorento is a good choice. Kia’s 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty is just another benefit.

Kia includes more standard safety features than most of the competition. Lane-keeping assist, Forward collision mitigation, and Driver attention warning are just a few of the standard features. Buyers can opt for a hybrid or a plug-in hybrid in addition to the regular powertrains. All-wheel drive is also available. For the estimated price of $30,000, the 2023 Sorento is hard to beat.

Estimated Price: Starting around $30,000

Don’t count out the capable Subaru Ascent

Now is the time if you haven’t considered the 2023 Subaru Ascent for your next popular three-row SUV. It offers a high-quality cabin, and all-wheel drive is standard, making it great for winter. Outward visibility is excellent and makes the SUV easy to park. The 2023 Ascent can even tow 5,000 pounds! Edmunds estimates the Subaru SUV would cost around $188 a month in gas, reasonable compared to the $261 a month average.

While the Ascent isn’t the most off-road capable vehicle out there, it is an excellent three-row SUV that can take many people off the beaten path. Some of the best safety features on the 2023 Subaru Ascent include Reverse Automatic Braking and EyeSight Assist Monitor. Blind-Spot Monitoring also helps monitor blind spots for vehicles or other hazards.

MSRP range: $33,895 – $48,195

A regular two-row SUV won’t cut if you need room for six or more. These popular three-row SUVs have all the safety, tech, and space people want.
