6 Third Row Seat Vehicles

All major automakers offer a car with third row seating, but it can take time to compare them all, so we’re going to do it for you. The list below are functional third row vehicles. There are some vehicles on the market that include a third row, but are not very functional. This list includes vehicles where most teenagers would fit comfortably in the third row. Check out our breakdown of the top 6 third row SUVs we sell based on space, seating, cost, gas, and user reviews. 

Nissan Pathfinder

The Nissan Pathfinder seats 8 passengers, unless you choose captains seats in the middle. It’s the perfect design between a SUV and minivan. This SUV gets 23mpg combined and runs between $35,000-$48,000 depending on the model. The Pathfinder has good cabin space, but cargo space is smaller compared to other third row SUVs. As far as comfortability, users say it’s a very quiet, smooth ride, but the seats can be a little uncomfortable. 

Toyota Highlander

The Toyota Highlander is very comparable to the Nissan Pathfinder seating 8 passengers unless you choose captain seats. The back row in the Highlander is a little tighter than other SUVs. It ranges between $36,000-$50,000 depending on the model and gets 24mpg combined. It is available as a Hybrid with 35mpg combined. Cabin and cargo space are very similar to the Pathfinder as well. This SUV has a really high safety and reliability rating.

Chevy Traverse 

The Chevy Traverse is an 8 passenger, but like the others it can come with captain seats. This SUV has the most cabin and cargo space. The Traverse has the lowest gas mileage at 21mpg combined and sells for $34,000-$52,000 depending on the version. It doesn’t have lots of fancy extras like some of the other SUVs.

Jeep Grand Cherokee L

The Jeep Grand Cherokee L is a 7 passenger SUV, but can actually be a 6 passenger with captain seats. The middle row adjusts to give more room to the third row, so most people can sit in the third row comfortably. As far as cargo space it is pretty spacious. The Grand Cherokee L costs around $44,000-$69,000. It has the same combined 21mpg as the Traverse, but when it comes to quality, you do get a little more in the Jeep aside from space. 

Jeep Grand Wagoneer 

The Jeep Grand Wagoneer can be either a 7 or 8 passenger vehicle, depending on captain seats or bench seat. This car has a very nice interior, lots of high-tech features, and space in front of and behind every seat. Since the Wagoneer is so large it gets a combined 16mpg. Pricing varies a lot with the Wagoneer, but the base is around $80,000. 

Nissan Armada

The Nissan Armada can be a 7 or 8 passenger. There is a lot of storage room and leg room in every row. The Armada ranges from $51,000-$68,000 between the 4 models, and also gets 16mpg. Although it has lots of leg space, it doesn’t have as much trunk space according to reviews.
