Two-Row SUVs – Best Quiet Ride: Buick Envision
Buick vehicles have long been associated with quiet rides and silent cabins. The Envision, assembled in China, is no exception to this rule thanks to the noise reduction system.
Parents magazine mentions the excellence of the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission, but take note that this unit is reserved for the more upscale versions. In the other trim levels, the driver has to make do with a naturally-aspirated 2.5L 4-cylinder engine and a 6-speed transmission.

Two-Row SUVs – Best Steering System: Chevrolet Equinox
It's true that the Chevrolet Equinox comes with a reputation for mediocre quality of construction, and is less durable than the average.

Parents magazine found the Chevrolet's steering to be particularly precise, while its powertrain is as powerful as you'd expect.
