You guys just made my year!!!! I have deposited for the GHL for almost a year and still waiting. Now I’m glad I made the right choice. I’d keep waiting
Good Luck.....be sure to change your transmission oil ever 30K miles. Turbo charge engine are great for mileage and power but needs full maintenance regularly

@@double_bacon we have only had the GH Hybridmax for a few days so I can't give much feedback. The telluride seems to drive a little better to me thus far. the GH is legit though.
Suggestion: take the score for each area multiple x the weighted value. Then add up the scores. For example, the powertrain would have a higher percent weight compared to infotainment. The reason for this is that not all the areas reviewed have the same weighted value.
Until you have to repairs the transmission, then the labor cost will be high since the location of those parts are hidden in the rear end of the front hood. Good luck. I was looking for this as well but a mechanic quickly points out to me that issue. Unless you are leasing it for 3 years, then you may want to consider these factors
I agree, the only reason i would not get it is major space is missing. Almost no storage. And although reliable it's going to be interesting in the future if any major work is needed, the engine has to be removed to get behind the engine.
Snowing in Kentucky!! I like the 10-Category approach to Objective Ranking... it allows the prospective Buyer to decide which factors are higher priority. Nice work gentlemen!
Honda pilot one of the most reliable SUV, beautiful interior, modern technology in Honda, and I love this digital cluster that comes with a pilot so I give 10 stars out of 10, the Acura MDX is so excited car, you can choose a 3.5 N/A or a 3.0t for type s, beautiful ambient lighting, rear seats and front seats are comfy, massage seats, modern interior design way better than Lexus, so I give it 10 stars out of 10
how do you all judge reliability when these are new cars and you've only spent weeks on them??? no way these are objective in this category! how do you know the new engine on a grand highlander will be 5 reliable?? it is a turbo 4cyl
For reliability of brand new products (essentially all of these SUVs) the best way to determine is an overall brand average and historic data. 3 objective studies averaged are used to determine this. Check out www.carconfections.com/reliability for more info.
The problem with the ranking (and you don’t have a better way to do it bc everyone has things that want diff from others) is the metrics are equal weighted. I like how you out the data on screen so you can decide the areas you care more about and decide accordingly. I would be cool for you to put a tool on your website where you can rank the areas you care most about and the list will resort based upon preference. Ppl can certainly do this themselves but just an idea for yall.
Crazy concept here but maybe show the actual interiors as well while you are taking. Maybe some shots with you in the third row to show the space. Appreciate the list but the amount of actual footage (or lack there of) feels like this could’ve been an audio broadcast. Just food for thought for future videos lads.
This type of breakdown is very helpful. I find myself often looking at 3 row mid size SUVs, even though i have zero interest in a third row, because a two row midsized SUV seems to be an e danfered species. Especially if you want more creature comforts. I wish there were more mid size two rows, with a backseat bench style. I can't imagine I'm alone because I know a lot of other moms who are in a place in life that we don't need a gazillion seats, but we like a higher and roomier ride than a sedan. Honestly, I wish Toyota would jazz up the 4runner. If they offered more luxury interior, but kept the boxy shape, I would get that.
Thanks for the broad comparison with categories.....very useful in prioritizing one's choices. Having said that I suggest not including predicted reliability in the total number. Have it as additional data. Historical reliability data virtually means nothing today. All OEMs are having issues. Weighting of the scores would be good too. Since we are talking automobiles....powertrain and driving experience should have a higher weight. Displays and rarely used gadgets don't make a great car. Once the newness wears off it will be the driving experience that determines if you keep it.
Thanks, happy holidays to you as well! For reliability of brand new products (essentially all of these SUVs) the best way to determine is an overall brand average and historic data. Check out www.carconfections.com/reliability for more info.
What a great video showing all the options including reliability. If you're in the market this is a great way to help make a decision. The traverse has really surprised many. I'm really leaning towards that or the Palisade, although the 2026 Palisade does not look good. One thing that i don't understand is, why leave out the New Pathfinder?
hey Hardesty Brothers - it's snowing (yay) I respect your personal top choice. I can see the MAZDA as a great midsize & the Hyundai for the same reasons you each gave. the market is so competitive it makes for some SUV's to pick from. I'm sending a letter to Santa right now, be sure to look in your driveway on Christmas morning. thanks for the cool review show.
@@CarConfections Awesome. Your reviews are great! Purchased the Enclave Sport Loaded with everything, and got it cheaper than the Avenir and love it. Keep up the Great Job.
Technically that is considered a class below these models but it's still a good choice if you're willing to sacrifice third row space, cargo capacity and some degree of luxury. Obviously, the price is also lower to reflect that vs the Telluride. Hope that helps!
My parents have two acadias. Both have had issues including oil leaks. We have a telluride and it has been rock solid. I don’t understand how these reliability ratings are calculated

If you don't mind the lack of luxury and technology compared to these top-10 options, it has unique benefits such as RWD architecture and V-8 availability
Head over to our website to sort the list by your personal most important characteristics (since luxury or space probably aren't your biggest concerns given your tone) carconfections.com/best-10-midsize-three-row-suvs-for-2025-our-expert-picks/
The pilot, telluride, CX90, and palisade would be my favorites here. I get the pilot probably has the worst tech as indicated by the low tech score. Still, there’s just something about having a V6 under the hood that’s smooth, powerful, not always stressed, and just comfortable as a whole. I just don’t trust those turbo-4 engines in a car this big and heavy just yet.
The Highlander is definitely becoming “irrelevant” in the class in favor of the Grand Highlander and that’s kind of disappointing to see because it used to be one of the better ones in the class even despite its smaller sizing. I believe I’ve seen more palisades and tellurides than the Highlanders. Those are like the “highlanders of South Korea” if that makes sense. And it’s not a bad product it’s just the highlander is just fainting in the shadows. It looks good, I think it feels more luxurious than its larger sibling. We’ve sat in both and the GH feels better space wise but the highlander inside looks better and feels better in terms of overall premiumness. 25th anniversary maybe the last run for the highlander until Toyota decides to cut production of it.
I can get some of yours comments on reliability score and I agree. However this is someone’s opinion so I can allow that fact among all the scoring criteria they got one or two I can’t agree with. Just scratch it off for yourself and see how the ranking shakes out for your own buying recommendations. And for those who already own one of the cars on the list, take it as a compliment for it being on the list, as there are still some cars not making it to the list lol. You don’t have to win number one of anyone or everyone’s list.
The percentage of truck buyers that actually use a truck for its truck-only features is mind boggling. I suspect buyers of (large) SUVs fall into the same category.
I own a Pathfinder and shopped almost everything before buying it. I'm very happy with our purchase, and I'm surprised that the Pathfinder never makes any of these lists, especially when they are comparing top trims. We bought an SV, and anything from other manufacturers in the same price range seemed to offer a lot less value. The CX-90 was a never for us because of the strange mild hybrid system and brutal interior space. I'll never understand why Mazda didn't fix the one major issue people had with the CX-9: the lack of interior space. It'll turn off a lot of families.
In the end although the traverse is great in space and tech, it's just overpriced like the Toyota Grand Highlander and feels cheap inside. The Palisade and Telluride continue to be the top choice. We'll choose the Pathfinder if i can get a good deal though.
Great vid you should make a luxury version of this video becuse you had Toyota grand highlander in 1st in the luxury version you should have Lexus to in 1st becuse they are main stream siblings
@@CarConfections I’m in a lot of confusion which one to buy as there are so many options all of them very good. My dream car is Volvo XC90 but it’s out of my budget.
It did not make the top 10 but I believe would have been the #11 spot. It's still a great SUV! It just leaves a lot of points on the table for being smaller than most of these other options.
Technically, it is considered a class below (which we will also be looking at soon) but could be considered against these models if third row or max space is not a priority
Never would I have thought that the GM twins would take the #2 and 3 spots on the list away from the palisade and telluride which imo are still the best in the segment. The traverse could be better in terms of premiumness but ig that’s what the Acadia is for. I do want to ask though, how come the Acadia for a 4.5 for reliability and resale and the traverse a 5? Now, ik the 4 cylinders have a lot of mixed reviews because they don’t sound as good and for a vehicle of this size a turbo 4 is quite small. But remember Subaru, did this with the ascent and it still seems to be going strong but not every 4 cylinder is the same. Who knows how reliable these will be.

# 2 and #3 both are 2.5 for ride quality?! Isn't it the most important?
Honda pilot on the money
Telluride and Grand Highlander are pretty much unchanged from last year but somehow the points are way different
There are many more points of consideration this year. Not just the 10 main categories but also the sub-categories considered within each section.
What about the Santa Fe?

2025 4Runner has a 3rd row option?
Yes, it's just substantially smaller than the SUVs on this list and is considered the class below
Kia Hyundai shouldn't make top 20
What about 2025 Santa Fe? It looks good in your review but it’s not good enough to be top 10?
Santa Fe sizing and market positioning places it in the class below this one (which we will also be counting down in January) 🙂
@ is it still a good buy for a 3 row SUV compared to others in its class,?
@@skaditya97 certainly. As long as you are okay with the cargo volume, it compares nicely against many of these options and in its own class.
