First, we will start with what is considered an affordable 3 row SUV. They are the Chevrolet Traverse and the Ford Explorer.

Chevrolet Traverse – The Traverse fits eight people comfortably. It is not meant for driving in the woods or canyons, but it will ride comfortably for every day traveling and vacations. It sells between $29K and $39K. The gas mileage is very decent, 17 city/ 24 highway. It is offered in four trim levels, LS, 1LT, 2LT, and LTZ. There is a lot of cargo space and it drives extremely well for its size and price.

Ford Explorer – The Explorer seats seven people comfortably. The third row is an okay size but if you have to put adults on the row, it may be tight. It will ride well through both rugged landscapes and every day travel. It is priced between $28K and $39K. The gas mileage is good, 17 city/ 25 highway. The Explorer was named the 2011 North American Truck of the Year. It comes in the base model, XLT, and Limited model. Ford offers a three year/36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and a five year/60,000 powertrain warranty.

If you are in the market for a pricier 3 row SUV, some of the best are the Chevrolet Tahoe and the Toyota Sequoia.

Chevrolet Tahoe – The Tahoe is a staple in the SUV market and considered one of the best. It has seating capacity for nine. It will ride well, wherever you plan to take it. It sells between $37K and $54K. The third row seat is not considered to be comfortable for adults and if you have any cargo you need to carry, you have to remove the third row and it is very heavy. The gas mileage could be better, 15 city/21 highway. But it is classified as a large SUV and they tend to use more gas. The hybrid version of the Tahoe is available, for a bigger price. The Tahoe comes in three models, the LS, LT, and LTZ. It comes with a three year/36,000 bumper to bumper warranty, a five year/100,000 powertrain warranty and a six year/100,000 rust through corrosion warranty.

Toyota Sequoia – The Tahoe can tow up to 7,400 pounds so it is a very sturdy vehicle. The seating capacity is eight people. The third row is considered comfortable enough to seat adults as well. The interior controls on the driver side are not considered to be very ergonomical so it received low grades on interior. The gas mileage is not very good, 14 city/20 highway. It comes in three models, the SR5, the Limited, and Platinum. Toyota offers a three year/36,000 mile basic warranty and a five year/60,000 powertrain warranty.

So there are many options available to you in the SUV market, depending on what your needs are. Hopefully, the information above can help in your search.

When you are on the market for SUVs, there are many different features a consumer is looking for, including: size, powerful engine, optional third row seating, luxury vs non-luxury, fuel efficiency (hybrid vs regular fuel engine), brand and manufacturer, and optional interior features which might be specific to each consumer. No matter what you are looking for in your next 2011 suv, here is a list of the top sellers in each of the major suv categories for the year.

For compact SUVs, the top non-luxury is the 2011 Toyota RAV4. Offering a great manufacturer which is highly regarded in the US and worldwide, the RAV4 hits on all aspects consumers are looking for. Low price, base, $22,322, great interior features (power winows, locks, GPS options, optional bluetooth, and other features), safety features galore, and great fuel efficiency (22 MPG highway, 19 MPG city). For an affordable compact, the RAV4 is the choie.

For a luxury compact SUV, the leader is the Audi Q5. If the name isn’t enough, the interior base features will sell any consumer. Coming in at a base of $31,856 the Audi comes base with (GPS, 6CD changer, radio dials on the steering wheel, leather interior, and other optional ad-ons), this is the ultimate in luxury and class. It gets 21 MPG highway, and 19 MPG city. For the luxurious clear cut winner, the Audi Q5 is the consumer’s choice.

For midsize SUVs the 2011 Buick Enclave is the affordable class leader. Coming in at $24,221 this vehicle is safe, offers nice base interior features, great fuel efficiency (21 highway, 18 city MPG), and a great name to back it up. For consumers looking for the luxury model choice for 2011, the 2011 Acura MDX is a winner by a longshot. Coming in at $29,800 this vehicle is the epitome of luxury for a midsize SUV. Great interior and exterior features, safety standards, and fuel efficient (22 highway, 19 city MPG), this is the forerunner in the category.

Lastly, for large SUV in 2011, for the affordable class the 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe is the consumer choice. Coming in at a base of $28,899 the tahoe offers great add ons, and base features. It has optional (folding) third row seating, leather or cloth interior, 6CD changer, optional navigation, and additional options to add-on. With a pretty efficient V8 engine (20 highway, 17 city MPG), the Tahoe has been highly rated by consumers in 2011. And, for the luxury model, the choice is the 2011 Cadillac Escalade.

Although extremely pricey, base $36,400 the Cadillac Escalade is a great buy for consumers in the large SUV market. It has three row seating (seats up to 8), built in navigation, optional bluetooth, 6CD changer, leather interior base, and a powerful engine. This high class name, does come at a high price, but is well worth the additional cost if this is the market you are on for SUVs.

No matter which consumer level you are, there are plenty of models to consider for a 2011 SUV.

There are some very interesting interior features of the Chevrolet Tahoe SUV, for example, the 7inch DVD system on the rear seat coming with wireless headphones, and a HDD navigation package that comes with the new models. This has proven to be very enticing in meeting the needs of vehicle buyers. The Chevrolet Tahoe offers sleek looks and more power, consuming 19 gallons per mile and despite all the power on the Tahoe, it is still within the reach of most buyers.

On the outside, the Chevrolet Tahoe 7 seater SUV compared to the Ford Explorer which is a front wheel drive and consumes 20miles/gallon, it clearly shows that the Tahoe has come to be of more benefit mostly to families due to its ability of holding the maximum capacity of seven persons comfortably with enough leg room. We have the cargo room that ranges around 16 -17 cubic meters and this has not been witnessed in other models that are not designed to handle many persons and cargo at one time. That is another reason why the Tahoe tends to top the list as a good model.

Another outstanding feature is the ability of the seats to be folded up and create more room for cargo and this is one unique feature that stand to make this car more reliable than all others.

All these don’t go without taking note of the fuel capacity, which is the main determinant in most of the models. We have the 4Lit V6 engine housing 266 horsepower and other types of the same SUV come with an additional 310 horsepower on a 5.6 Lit V6 engine, hence more power feed and better performance to the maximum and this also suites certain terrains. On the downside, this fuel consumption is high compared to other more efficient, recent models.

All this come at a price tag of $21,000 – $22,000 depending on the extra features and horsepower of the engine; and these are the simple margins that make the Chevrolet Tahoe 7seater SUV more expensive than other models. However, this is about the only notable disadvantage to the Tahoe in our 7 seater SUV comparison. All other considerations lead to the conclusion that this is one of the best models around if you’re in the market for a 7-seater SUV.

The Cadillac Escalade is the top of the line, when it comes to an American, 7 seat SUV, which seat up to seven passengers. This is essentially a Chevrolet Tahoe or GMC Yukon, only it is polished up with all of the bells and whistles. The Cadillac name is enough to sell a lot of people on the vehicle, as they are one of the original, luxury auto manufacturers. This vehicle was redesigned in 2008, the same year that the new Tahoe and Yukon were released. The biggest changes were a little extra curve around the grille area and an engine upgrade. The new Escalade has a 6.2 liter engine, producing upwards up 400 horsepower, plenty to haul seven passengers. The Tahoe is also available in a hybrid package, for those who want a little better gas mileage. Overall, this is a very nice vehicle; however, the gas mileage is mediocre at just 12 in the city and 18 on the highway.

Chevrolet Tahoe

Another option for a 7 seat suv would be the Chevrolet Tahoe or GMC Yukon. These are essentially the same vehicle, with a few minor differences, such as the style of wheels. This is not to say that one has nicer wheels than the other, but rather, they have to make something look a little different to sell the same vehicle under two, different names. This would be an excellent way for people to have something a small step below the Escalade, but also being able to save $10,000 or more. People can even buy a more basic model, which would come with cloth seats for an even greater savings.

For those who want the best of the best, and do not demand an American made vehicle might consider the Range Rover Land Rover. This is a vehicle that was made popular in several movies. This model was actually designed for off road use in its early years; however, they realized that people were more interested in the luxury style vehicles. Range Rover claims this vehicle will still handle off road terrain; however, not too many people want to take an $80,000 vehicle through the woods. The Land Rover features a 5.0 liter V8, and people can also add a supercharger. The base V8 has 375 horsepower, while the supercharged model produces a whopping, 501 horsepower. All of this horsepower comes at a price, as this SUV also only gets 12 miles per gallon in the city and 18 on the highway.

These would all be excellent choices for luxurious, seven seater SUVs. The Escalade and Range Rover are the most comparable for the price; however, the Tahoe and Yukon are a close second and will save some cash. These vehicle all get the same fuel economy, so buyers will not have to worry about that when making the decision. The ultimate difference between these is whether people prefer a domestic or foreign vehicle.

The second one on the 7 passenger SUV list is the 2011 Mazda CX-9. The 2011 Mazda CX-9 has a fuel efficient 3.7-liter V6 engine. There is a Bluetooth hands free phone with the ability to play music through Bluetooth. The rear entertainment system includes a Bose Centerpoint and a DVD player. With this SUV, you will feel like you are riding in style. The headlights of the Mazda CX-9 are adjustable up to fifteen degrees. This allows the driver to see on the road more clearly because it successfully lights up the road. The tailgate can open and close on its own.

The third one on the 7 passenger SUV list is the 2011 Cadillac Escalade. The 2011 Cadillac Escalade has a very powerful V8 engine. This SUV can seat up to eight people. It is not good on gas so do not expect to save any money there. There is a more green friendly version of the Cadillac Escalade in a hybrid. It is a great ride for the people who want all of the comfort, style, power and towing abilities in a SUV. It is known for the great looks for the SUV.

The fourth one is the 2011 Buick Enclave. The 2011 Buick Enclave has some of the latest technologies like a rear view camera system, a DVD navigation system, and a rear parking assist. It has the highest possible overall crash test rating and Quiet Tuned interior. The all-wheel drive system gives the tires on the SUV more traction. Therefore, the handling of the SUV will allow you to be able to stop more quickly. The intelligent system automatically senses traction loss and sends power to wheels with the most grip. It also has nineteen-inch aluminum wheels. It has one of the best fuel economy in its class.

The fifth one is the 2011 Ford Expedition. The 2011 Ford Expedition has some great capacity features. These features include a V8 engine, big towing capacity, a power lift-gate, Control Trac® Four-Wheel-Drive (4WD) System, and an independent rear suspension. It has some great safety features. These features include AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control, 6 airbags, rain sensing wiper blades, key less remote entry, standard traction control, and a crash alert system. The best features are for its technology. This technology includes a HD Radio, rear view camera, MyKey, voice activated SYNC system, heated exterior mirrors, and a navigation system with Sirius Traffic and Travel Link.

These are just some of the 7 passenger SUV’s. There are a lot of great SUVS out there that can hold up to seven people or more.

When comparing the 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid to the 2010 model buyers love the new head rests in the second row. They also love the addition of the OnStar telematics system.

The 2011 model features a 6.0 liter V8 engine. The engine will deliever 332 hoursepower and 367 pound per feet of torque. The engine containers a cylinder deactivation system where four of the eight cylinders are killed when not needed. The 2011 model features two electric motors each with 60 kilowatts of energy. They run off a 300 volt batter. The driver will hear a small surge and hear a smalll click when the vehicle switches from electric power to gasoline power. In order to get the best fuel economy, drivers need to avoid carrying heavy loads, not go up steep hills, and not accelerate quickly from a stop. The 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid requires the driver to use an extremely light foot to keep the Tahoe in electric mode. Many drivers find that the Tahoe is too ready to switch to gasoline power. The vehicle comes equipped with a fuel efficiency guage which allows drivers to know how their driving is impacting their fuel efficiency.

The hybrid tahoe hands well on the highway, and on curves. The vehicle’s brakes respond well, although driver’s must remember that this is a large vehicle and will require more space to turn and more time to stop.

Buyers of the 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid will enjoy the luxurious inside of this vehicle. Chevrolet has shown much attention to the interior details of this vehicle. The vehicle can easily haul nine adults. However, those who are interested in the vehicle’s cargo carrying capacity need to know that the third row of seats must be totally removed to increase the cargo space. They will not fold down, like on many other vehicles of this class. The second row of seats will fold down. Access to the third row of seats requires folding the second row of seats forward, like in a two door car. Some adults find it very difficult to access the third row of seats.

Let’s take a closer look at four of the top rated 8 passenger SUVs.

The 2012 Nissan Armada tops the list in pricing, coming in at close to $44,000. The 2012 GMC Yukon and the 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe are each priced at just under $40,000. Finally at the lower end of the scale is the Honda Pilot which comes in at about $31,000, making it the most affordable alternative.

Nissan Armada

Built for families, or business owners in need of space to transport crews, these full-size SUVs have a lot going for them. Of course, you can easily seat eight in the spacious interiors that are the hallmark of an 8 passenger SUV. Best of all though is you can do that without sacrificing either comfort or cargo space.

In full-size SUVs there is simply more room overall, so you can be comfortable wherever you’re sitting. Each model has bucket seats in the front. Second row seating in all but the Armada is 60-40 split benches with lots of leg room and head space. The Armada comes with a 40-20-40 split-bench for even more passenger comfort.

The third row of seating in smaller SUVs is often cramped and flat out uncomfortable. But in these full-size SUVs, there’s plenty of leg room, more than ample hip space, and lots of room overhead.

Both the Armada and the Pilot come with a 60-40 split bench set-up, while in the Yukon and the Tahoe the third row is set-up with a 50-50 split bench. There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these arrangements.

If you find that you need more room for cargo, the 50-50 bench seats in the Yukon and the Tahoe are removable. But passengers end up with less seating room with this configuration. With the Nissan Armada, getting extra cargo room is as easy as folding down the second and third row seats. This is a lot more efficient than having to remove a bench seat.

The Armada has the most spacious arrangement, providing passengers with more shoulder space and a full six inches more leg room in the third row, compared to the other SUVs.

The sleek appearance of this new generation of SUVs replaces the boxy look of earlier SUVs. Along with the re-design comes a better safety rating. The roll-over problems that plagued SUVs in the past have been addressed, and safety ratings are at an all-time high.

GMC Yukon

All four of the 8 passenger SUV models we are looking at have taken safety to a new level, and as a result have earned close to perfect safety ratings.

Each of these SUVs includes airbags in four critical areas: front, driver side, passenger side, and overhead. All have side impact bars, as well as anti-locking brake systems. To minimize the possibility of a roll-over, electronic stability technology has been installed. The system used varies from one manufacturer to another.

Of course the main drawback of driving a full-sized SUV is fuel efficiency. Because these vehicles are bigger and heavier, they come with a more powerful engine. It’s no surprise that a bigger engine goes hand in hand with greater fuel consumption.

The 2012 GMC Yukon has a 5.3L V-8 320 HP motor. The 2012 Nissan Armada comes with a 5.6L V-8 317 HP engine. The 2012 Chevy Tahoe is powered by a 5.3L V-8 320 HP engine, while the 2012 Honda Pilot has the smallest motor at 3.5L V-6 250 HP.

Gas mileage is affected accordingly. Coming in at the top of the list for best fuel economy is the Honda Pilot with an estimated MPG of 18-city and 25-highway. Both the GMC Yukon and the Chevrolet Tahoe get an estimated 15 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway. The Nissan Armada gets 12 mpg in city driving conditions and 18 mpg for highway driving.

Your best bet is to visit each dealership and take a test drive to see for yourself which one you prefer. With lots of extras available in all models, you can customize your ride the way you want it, and choose the look that appeals to you. There is really no bad choice when it comes to an 8 passenger SUV. It comes down to getting what you need.

The major complaints have been that the third row seating is often only appropriate for child size passengers, if that. In addition, the materials used for this optional seating are too often inferior and flimsy, making it uncomfortable for riders. Use this as a guide to help determine which SUV for eight or more passengers may best fit your needs.

Chevrolet Tahoe

What you get with the Tahoe is a serious driving machine that comes with a 5.3 liter, V8 engine that produces 320 horsepower. It also comes with a six speed automatic transmission. This is the type of vehicle designed with function in mind. It was also built to be a family friendly vehicle. You get a full size, four door SUV that seats eight and with room to spare.

The 2011 model had an EPA estimated mileage ranking of 15 city miles per gallon and 21 for the highway, which is one of the better fuel efficiencies of this class. Drivers also raved about the smooth ride and superior handling. If you also need the best 8 passenger SUV that has exceptional towing capabilities, this may be your best option. The one con of this is that consumers complain the third seat can be bulky making it difficult to remove.

Nissan Armada

When it comes to hauling around eight passengers in addition to whatever else you need, the Armada should have the capabilities you need. Under the hood is a 5.6 liter, V8 engine that produces 317 horsepower. The transmission is a five speed automatic with overdrive. You have the option to get this Nissan SUV in either rear wheel drive or all wheel drive. All this offers consumers some of the best towing capabilities in this division.

The fuel efficiency leaves room for improvement as it gets only 13 miles per gallon for urban streets and 19 for highway miles. You do get ample power and good handling for such a large SUV. On the other hand, many consumers complained that the height made it challenging to get in and out of. For a Sports Utility Vehicle with third row seating, however. One rave is that this Nissan Armada still remains roomy and spacious.

GMC Yukon

A powerhouse when it comes to design and function, the Yukon has a 5.3 liter, V-8 powering it and generating 320 horsepower. It also has a six speed automatic transmission with overdrive and can be yours in two wheel or all wheel drive. The mileage is better than the Nissan, but only slightly. The Yukon has a fuel economy rating of 15 miles per gallon in the city and 21 for highway. As far as large sports utility vehicles go, the GMC Yukon is one of the more affordable ones.

Reviews praise the Yukon for having good performance and a comfortable interior. On the down side, however, drivers pointed out that much of the competition in this class have better towing capabilities. Also noted was that the third row may comfortably accommodate passengers, but when not in use the seats do not fold flat into the floor.

Toyota Sequoia

The Toyota Sequoia is another option for those who want a full size SUV that has room for at least eight passengers. The engine in this Toyota is a 4.6 liter V8 paired with a six speed automatic transmission with overdrive. This is a popular option because of the features that come standard or are available for upgraded trim packages. These include things such as a voice activated navigation system and a key fob for remote keyless entry.

Again, the fuel economy could be better, but it is difficult to find an SUV this size that gets good miles per gallon. For city driving, you get 14 miles per gallon and 20 for the open road of the highway. The feedback from drivers is that the Sequoia drives and handles like a much smaller vehicle than it actually is. In addition, the braking and acceleration is surprisingly good especially for a vehicle of this size. The rants from consumers included that the miles per gallon could be better and that some of the controls were difficult to reach, especially while trying to drive. Otherwise, the Toyota and other vehicles mentioned here could all be the best 8 passenger SUV available today.

If you are going to invest your finances in a hybrid SUV, you should know your options and be aware of possible costs involved before arriving at the showroom. One top contender for the best hybrid SUV on the market is the hybrid Tahoe. So take a moment to get an overview of what to expect from this sturdy Sports Utility Vehicle option.

The Hybrid Tahoe Basics

As far as hybrids go and even hybrid SUVs, the Tahoe may not be the greenest of them all, but it certainly fares well when compared to the non-hybrid version. The tradeoff is you get a vehicle that still has the power and capabilities you need from an SUV but with better fuel economy. Not to mention, you are doing your part to cut down on the amount of damage automobiles and sports utility vehicles do to the environment.

The standard package and basic features start with the important engine running it. With the Tahoe hybrid, you get a Vortec 5.3 liter, V8 engine. This driving force also produces 320 horsepower and 335 pound/feet of torque. To get to the fuel efficiency, you have to compare both gasoline consumption and what the electric engine uses.

For the gasoline engine, you should see an EPA estimated use of 15 miles per gallon for city driving and 21 for highway roads. For the 2011, you may actually benefit from 20 city miles per gallon and 23 for highways with the electric engine. It is not the greatest in its class, but it is good enough that many consumers feel it is fuel-efficient for an SUV.

Safety Features

While many of the standard safety features are among the industry standard, the Tahoe has kept them in place. You get features including six air bags and StabiliTrak with Traction Control. You also get four wheel, anti-lock brakes, which is also a standard feature for vehicles these days. You also get Proactive Roll Avoidance, which helps lower the risk of rollovers.

One feature that not all SUVs have yet is the Side Blind Zone Alert, which helps you eliminate blind spots for safer driving. The rear view camera system and ultrasonic rear parking assist help with parking and backing up, which can be tricky and are a leading cause of fender benders.

The Review Feedback

The main complaint from the masses for the Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid is that the price is quite a bit more than some of the competition, and even for possibly what you are getting in return. Otherwise, a good majority of the feedback from consumers has given much praise to this big mean hybrid SUV.

Other reviews though seem to claim the Tahoe as a hybrid may not be worth the extra expense. If you want a good powerful hybrid that actually gets good fuel economy, there may be better options for you to consider that offer more bang for the buck or are at least less costly. If fuel economy or going green is not one of your priorities, maybe sticking with the standard Chevy Tahoe may make more sense. There are even other options from Chevy you may enjoy just as much if not more than the hybrid version of the Tahoe.

Other Considerations

Consumers looking for something with a powerful towing capability may still want to consider the Tahoe even if the price for the hybrid is steep. For those who need maximum towing abilities for things such as boats, campers or other cars, price may have to take a back seat in the decision making process. Some consumers also feel there are enough whistles and bells involved even on the standard model to make the showroom sticker price on this SUV worthwhile.

You get extras such as 18 inch alloy wheels, power folding heated side mirrors and a remote start, just to name a few. You can also get features including power adjustable pedals, tri zone automatic climate control and leather upholstery in addition to a great number of more luxuries. The bottom line is that you may want to really weigh the pros and cons of this particular SUV before making a decision. At least consider and compare your options before deciding for sure on the Chevy Hybrid Tahoe.

Not only that but even those SUVs that boast third row seating that can accommodate 8 passengers don’t always live up to their promise of being comfortable. Find out about some of the choices you have when it come to today’s sports utility vehicle market.

The Chevy Tahoe

There are pros and cons to this one, but it is backed by the trusted Chevy name. One downfall of the Chevy SUV seems to be that it does not have the pick up and speed some other SUVs have. However, it does have a 5.3 liter 8 cylinder engine, which gives it 320 horsepower.

As far as safety features go, the Tahoe offers traction control, stability and air bags, although those are fairly common and standard. Also standard on the Tahoe are 20 inch chrome wheels and a power, remote liftgate.

The Honda Pilot

When doing an 8 seater SUV comparison, you have to include the Honda. The Honda name is synonymous with dependability and value. When it comes to the Pilot, it is no different. This SUV is known to be spacious, which is rare when it comes to 8 seaters or third row seating sports utility vehicles at all. It even leaves room for ample storage.

The engine is an impressive V6 that offers 250 horsepower. With the Honda you are not getting as much power for towing capacity or horsepower, but the price reflects this. As far as gas mileage goes, you can also get a fairly respectable 25 miles per gallon on the highway. The main con of the Pilot is that consumers complain about the long distance required for braking, which can make it slightly more dangerous than other SUVs. Otherwise, this is a good family friendly SUV choice.

The Lincoln Navigator

Surprisingly, one of the main complaints among those who bought a Navigator is that it is difficult to get in and out of. The big bonus for this vehicle is that the third row seating is known to be comfortable, even for adult passengers. It is also known to be a smooth ride and a vehicle that handles well in all types of road conditions.

It has a 5.4 liter V8 engine, but is still supposedly weak, as consumers report. The fuel economy is about down the middle when comparing SUVS with 14 miles per gallon for city driving and 20 for the highway. Like most SUVs now, the standard edition has a power liftgate and front seats that can be heated or cooled. The bottom line is that the Lincoln Navigator is big and may not even be so for a good reason.

The Toyota Highlander

Consumers mention that the Highlander looks classy, but those who want something that looks more like a sturdy and strong SUV aren’t thrilled with the design. For those who want an 8 seater sports utility vehicle that actually offers comfort not just third row seating, this may be a good choice. It is actually in the 7 seater category, but can accomodate8 passengers. The interior is known for being roomy while still allowing some space for storage. The engine has been well received by those who own it and it is a 2.7 liter, 4 cylinder V6 engine that gets 187 horsepower.

The Nissan Armada

One of the reasons the Nisssan SUV does so well on the market is that it boasts impressive towing capabilities and has more power than you may expect from a Nissan. It has a 5.6 liter V8 engine and 317 horsepower. Consumers especially like it for its unique safety features. In addition to standard air bags, the Armada has active head restraints and side curtain airbags.

The downfall of the Nissan sports utility vehicle is the 13 miles per gallon for city driving and 19 on highways. Also, many people do not feel the look is exactly what they want when it comes to an SUV. The Nissan also offers stability control and traction control, making it a safe and smooth ride for the whole family.

The Final Word

Much of what you want in an SUV is based on your own individual needs. If you know you need an 8 seater SUV, your options may be more limited than with other needs for an SUV. However, with enough research and test driving, you can find the perfect sports utility vehicle for you and your family’s needs.
