When you have a family, an SUV represents a great way to find space for your kids and your gear. A Subaru three-row SUV takes your fun to the next level by adding in the brand's adventure-focused engineering. You and your crew can do more. At Subaru of Kennesaw, we know that the move to a bigger SUV requires careful consideration; to help, we've put together the questions we often hear about three-row models.
What is the Advantage of a Three-Row SUV?
The most important advantage of a three-row SUV remains the size. Each SUV can hold more people and cargo, an important feature for Kennesaw families. Plus, since these SUVs tend to offer a larger size than compact or midsize models, they often come with more powerful engines. Depending on the model, this can translate to a higher towing capacity or more horsepower for driving on difficult roads in Marietta.
How Many Seats do Three-Row SUVs Offer?
That depends on the vehicle. The biggest three-row SUVs tend to seat a maximum of eight people. These models usually come with two rear bench seats. Other SUVs feature space for seven; this configuration often features captain's chairs in the second row and a bench seat in the back. A six-seat model proves rarer and usually only comes with smaller three-row SUVs.
Do Three-Row SUVs Have Rear Storage?
Yes. Most three-row SUVs come with a trunk area in the back that you can access with a liftgate. In addition, many SUVs come with fold-flat seatbacks in the second- and third-rows. That way, you can create more room as needed. The exact amount of cargo space varies based on the length, height, and width of the SUV.
Can I Benefit From a Three-Row SUV if I Don't Have a Big Family?
A three-row SUV has plenty to offer families, even if you only have two kids. With the extra row of seats, it appears easier to run a carpool or accommodate bigger groups when your kids have play dates with friends. Plus, since three-row models tend to offer features such as rear-seat entertainment, you can get extra options for long road trips from Kennesaw. Most full-size SUVs allow you to fold down the third row, which gives you extra room for gear. For active families, that remains a valuable feature when you head out on a road trip, camping trip, or beach vacation.
Does Subaru Have Three-Row SUVs for Sale?
Subaru has one three-row SUV: the Subaru Ascent. It offers the same rugged engineering and off-road features as the smaller Subaru SUVs, but you get seating for up to eight people in the Ascent. If you prefer the second-row captain's chairs, you can configure the Ascent with the seven-seat option.
What are Some Similar Options to the Subaru Ascent?
Some models that offer similar sizing and seating to the Subaru Ascent remain the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, Ford Explorer, and Kia Telluride. Each one offers three rows and options for seven or eight seats.
How Does the Subaru Ascent Compare to the Competition?
The Subaru Ascent remains a powerful competitor in the three-row SUV category. Symmetrical all-wheel drive represents one of its standout features. None of the other three-row SUVs in a similar price range come with this feature, giving the Ascent a distinct leg up. The Ascent comes with a powerful BOXER engine, so you'll get an EPA-estimated 27 mpg on the highway and up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity. For parents, the standard EyeSight driver assist technology remains another important feature. Other exceptional features of the Ascent include the STARLINK Multimedia system, 19 cup and bottle holders, and an optional rear-seat entertainment system.
For adventurous families, the Ascent delivers an exceptionally confident and capable ride. If you'd like to see this three-row SUV in person, reach out to our Kennesaw Subaru sales team today.
