2023 Best 3 Row SUV Ranked from Worst to Best
Best 3 Row SUV: Three-row crossovers won’t help the environment or promote adventurous mountain driving. They are the solution for purchasers who have numerous children and, thus, a never-ending mountain of belongings, but don’t want to live with a minivan’s power-sliding doors. The allure of a three-row SUV is that it can accommodate up to eight people, haul all the football and hockey gear high students can muster, and still get better gas mileage than full-size SUV competitors like the Chevrolet Suburban or Ford Expedition.
We’ve ranked the current lineup of mid-size crossovers and SUVs after several testing and countless miles of driving.
3. Jeep Grand Cherokee L

There are two versions of Jeep’s most recent Grand Cherokee: the two-row Grand Cherokee and the three-row Grand Cherokee L. Due to its larger size and longer wheelbase, the latter provides more space in addition to having more seats. The SUV’s standard V-6 is also no sleepyhead, but the optional 5.7-liter V-8’s rumble is unlike anything else in the segment (aside from the Durango). Buyers of three-row mid-size SUVs who value off-road performance should be drawn to the Grand Cherokee L’s 10.3 inch maximum ground clearance, which is made possible by available air springs.
Price:- Ex-showroom Rs.75 lakhs
C/D rating:- 9/10

Although the Kia Telluride and the Hyundai Palisade are identical twins in terms of platform, drivetrain, and suspension, the two vehicles differ most in their exterior and interior styling.
