Looking for a three row suv for my wife. Tahoe is “too big”. Lexus GX electronics too dated. What would you recommend. Any other vehicles we should look at?

We've had them both....they both drive unbelievably awesome.

You will have less problems with the Volvo..the Audi will be a pain in the arse

If I had to do it again I would stay with Volvo

Do you have kids...is that why she wants a 3rd row?

I was pushing for the GX. But no apple CarPlay in a 2021 is kind of ridiculous

Three kids, so 3rd row would be for a small kid (not baby). The Volvo seems more spacious.

XC90.

Maybe check out the Lincoln Aviator while you are at it, although the Volvo and Audi will have fewer issues than the Lincoln.

I would go with the Volvo...if you have 3 kids.

The Audi is nice but man it's not a vehicle you want with kids going in and out...the wear and tear will make you go broke with repairs.

The Volvo is much more durable.

I have a VW Atlas through my company, and I like it a lot.

I found the seats in the GX to be very uncomfortable. Hurt my back and got rid of it.
Drove the Volvo as a rental once...really nice ride.

My wife has a 2017 q7 with 38k miles. No issues at all and we have 2 toddlers. Has all the bells and whistles and practically drives itself with adaptive cruise and lane keep assist. Drove it across the country and back in May and it was great.

None of those are spacious for 3 kids. Get a true SUV like a Denali. Not a mom mobile.

As someone who has handled car accident cases for years you don’t want to put your child in one of those seats one foot from the rear of the car. That shite is dangerous.

On our second. XC90, can’t say enough about it. New ones are much better than the older ones. Wife already saying that’s what she wants for the next vehicle also.

We have an XC90 for that very reason. 2013, 140k miles and plenty of life left...will replace it with another XC90 in a few years.
