One of the hottest car segments today is that of the SUV. With people looking to spend more time exploring the outdoors, SUVs seem to be the perfect companion for them, and all the family. Here’s a look at some of the top-end SUVs with 3rd row seating.
The market for luxury SUVs has seen a steep rise, with people willing to pay higher prices for better comfort, without compromising on the brand. Almost all car manufacturers, both big and small roll out the upgrades for their top-end SUVs every other year. Most, if not all of them are extremely spacious and can easily accommodate about 8 people. Although people in the 3rd row are often cramped for space, these cars make for a perfect family car. The third row seats are either of the 50/50 pattern, or the 60/40 pattern, with the numbers indicative of the percentage of space occupied by these seats. These seats can also be folded away to make for more cargo space in the car. Here’s a look at some of the top luxury SUVs in the market today (2013 editions).
