Three-Row SUVs – Best for Big Families: Subaru Ascent

The Subaru Ascent joined the three-row SUV segment about a year ago. Here, the fact that all the vehicle's trims are equipped with constant-drive all-wheel drive clearly gives the model an advantage over the rest of the category’s denizens. The magazine’s panelists also couldn’t fail to mention the vehicle harbours 19 (!) cup holders on board.

Three-Row SUVs – Best Quiet Ride: Honda Pilot

When it comes to coddling its occupants, the Honda Pilot is almost Acura-like inside, not only for its full equipment, but also for its quiet ride. In fact, Parents magazine even went so far as to compare the Pilot to the Honda Odyssey because the SUV is so comfortable. Unlike the minivan, however, the Pilot still offers the choice of either 6-speed or 9-speed automatic transmission. In this case, the older of the two (the 6-speed unit) is not necessarily a bad choice!
