Another SUV thread.....of the 7 passenger variety!

[sabad66]

I’d be looking at:
Q7
Atlas
Genesis gv70 or gv80
Telluride
Xc90

Seems like nobody is a fan of the RX350L. Not even Lexus itself.

MDX is on redesign year isn't it?

[2020]

Tesla model X with the seven seat option. 0-100km in 3 seconds for the mall runs

Yeah, 2022 is the new model year for the MDX. Exterior and interior, but they reused the engine from the last gen (which was one of the sticking points when I drove it)

Stay away from Hyundai/Kia unless you want to burn your house down or have it catch fire while you are driving it. Those things are pieces of shit. I know they check all the boxes as far as options/luxuries etc but the quality on the basic guts is just not there.

Can you link to a source with an appropriate sample size? I would be interested to read it.

[killramos]

You know it’s 2021 when you need a peer reviewed study to know Hyundai’s are pieces of crap

[Mitsu3000gt]

First I've heard of them bursting into flames en-masse, so I was curious if it was a bad personal experience or one-off story, or a massive problem that a lot of people are having. I know a lot of people with Hyundai/Kia products so I would like to know more.

Women logic. I get not wanting to show up at a party wearing the same dress, but can't buy a make/model because her friend has one is ludicrous.

Agreed.

And Volvo XC90 is the correct answer.

Actually, disregard that, Hellcat Durango is my final answer.

The only criteria are size, avoid frequent trips to the dealer, and I assume some minimal level of luxury/refinement. Lexus GX or LX is the no-brainer.

Kinda in the same realm, Infiniti QX80 or Nissan Armada. Ancient platform.

[killramos]

Except that GX and LX are dinosaurs and highly rumoured for a refresh in the next 18mo

Motormouth says the 10 speed is much better than the 9 speed though?
We own a 2016 and I do find it uninspiring.

[2Legit2Quit]

I like my Highlander with platinum trim, pretty nice all around but the extra row of seats would only be usable by kids imo

[dj_rice]

Highlander would be my choice as well

ya, last one is about "steering wheel may detach from steering column"

Probably not good to be on the highway when that happens.

Maybe, I drove a 2020 when I was shopping and it was just blah, not sure if an extra gear would fix the lack of responsiveness.

The other issue was the poor infotainment and screen setup they had, with one touch screen and one pad controlled. That’s been fixed for 2022 I think though by taking the RDX system.

The Volvo offering is off the table as her bestie just bought the one she'd have liked so doesn't want to have the same vehicle....

Obvious move here is to buy the same car in a higher trim
