Mid Size/3 Row SUV Recommendations?

:100:

Only some LHers are pedantically differentiating DAS and down when the intent was clearly minimal DAS.

Minimal DAS…my apologies for not being specific.

Appreciate the feedback guys. We actually got this XC60 from Aronchi (who has always been nothing short of fantastic to work with) but looking at the calculators quick without a decent chunk down or MSD’s i’d be looking at payments in the $700’s minimum. Maybe im wrong and maybe things will change, i’ll take that up with him. For now we are assuming an XC60/90 is out of the question.

For the most part just trying to see feedback on other SUV’s out there, that way we can narrow some searches down and hopefully get some numbers teed up so when the time comes were not going crazy last minute.

Once again I appreciate all the feedback

My wife and I leased a QX60 Luxe from Aronchi (who was great to work with) last month and are very happy with it.

We are in NJ and test drove similarly optioned XC90, MDX, Telluride, Palisade, and CX90. The only one we marginally preferred over the QX60 was the XC90 but it was way more expensive to lease. The QX60 was less than all the rest with MSD (without loyalty) and I think there is $950 lease cash this month that is new so it should be even less now.

We just turned in a Q7 lease and my wife likes the Infiniti better.

Acura MDX will get you in a tech package for under your threshold. I would stick with that. 2025 model is about to come out so you are getting solid pricing on 2024s right now.

QX60 is good but OP is looking for minimal upfronts so without MSDs the QX60 jumps in the mid-600s (rolled all in).

Definitely check out the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade for great value and spacious interiors with 3-row options. Both tend to have competitive leasing terms. The Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander are also excellent choices for reliability and might fit within your budget. It’s worth visiting some dealers to see if there are any end-of-month deals that could work for you. Good luck!

In the market for the same size car, coming from 3yr+ with MDX, it enjoyable drive but minimal space if you need the 3rd row for daily use + very rough suspension for family and toddlers (you feel and every crack in the road).
The 2024 Travers will give you extra space and all the features you can ask for as far as tech and ride, they just came out so prices as at msrp. I’ve quoted $750 for the base model. Telluride is also great option and cheaper. Palisades seems to have same features and has more inventory maybe better room for negotiation.
