The Big Test: Three-Row Crossovers Durango | Pilot | Santa Fe | CX-9 | Pathfinder | Highlander A shootout of style, space, usefulness, and driving dynamics We gathered six of the top contenders in the CUV category for the slap fight to end them all. Our rules were as follows: The base price of the specific model and trim level had to be under $40,000, but optional equipment was allowed to stray above that line. The CUV had to offer three seating rows, be powered by a V-6, and feature either AWD or 4WD. As with Big Tests of the past, vehicles in this segment are designed and built to satisfy a fairly specific consumer. In the finishing order, the bottom of the list was fairly obvious, and the winning car missed a unanimous decision by only one vote. The rest of the order was a bit harder to judge and is more attributable to preference than directly observable traits. Join us as we measure, drive, examine, and re-drive these six very competitive vehicles.
