Photo: KiaUpdated November 2026Three-row electric SUVs used to be a short list with long prices. That is changing fast. You can now buy a seven-seat EV that goes more than 300 miles for under $60,000, and at the top end there are family haulers that go farther on a charge than most gas SUVs go on a tank.
Every number below comes from our EV Range Chart. We rank each model by its longest-range version with a third row, show our estimate for a freezing day, and list the starting price for that exact version.
The ranking
Every three-row EV, up close
01Photo: CadillacA full-size Escalade with one of the largest batteries in any passenger vehicle and room for seven. The 465 miles is Cadillac’s own estimate, because the IQ is too heavy for the EPA’s light-duty test, so treat it as a best case. The extended Escalade IQL adds more cargo room and is quoted at 460 miles.
02Photo: LucidWith the optional third row, the Grand Touring is EPA-rated at 437 miles (450 with two rows). The cheaper Gravity Touring is rated at 337 miles from about $81,500. It drives smaller than it is, and the cabin is one of the best in any EV.
03Photo: RivianSeven seats are standard, and so is genuine off-road ability. The Dual Max version reaches 410 miles; the more common Dual Large is rated at 329 miles from $83,990. Its winter estimate holds up better than most, thanks to a heat pump and a big pack.
04Photo: HyundaiThe most range for the least money among three-row EVs. The rear-drive S does 335 miles for under $60,000, it charges very fast on Hyundai’s 800-volt system, and the cabin is genuinely roomy in the third row. If we were spending our own money, we would start here!
05Photo: VolvoSeven seats as standard, a beautifully simple cabin and 310 miles from the Twin Motor. Early software problems held it back; the 2026 update moved it to a new 800-volt system and a more powerful central computer.
06Photo: KiaThe Light Long Range is the least expensive three-row EV in our chart at $57,900, with 305 miles. Note that this version skips the heat pump, so it loses more range in the cold than its rivals; the GT-Line (280 miles) has one.
07Photo: CadillacA smaller, more affordable Cadillac with three rows and 305 miles. In July, Cadillac recalled every Vistiq built so far because the power-folding third row could stop without reversing when it hit an obstruction, so ask the dealer whether the fix has been done.
Also with a third row
The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV offers an optional third row; the 550 4MATIC is rated at 317 miles and the 450 4MATIC at 312 miles. It is the most luxurious way to seat seven, but the third row is best kept for children.
Coming soon, and recently gone
Toyota Highlander EV: the 2027 Highlander is electric only, Toyota’s first three-row EV. Toyota estimates 287 miles for the front-drive XLE with a 77-kWh pack, and up to 320 miles for all-wheel-drive versions with a 95.8-kWh pack. It goes on sale late this year; pricing has not been announced.
Tesla Model X: Tesla ended Model S and Model X production earlier this year, so new ones are gone. Used Model X are plentiful, and our Used EV Value Finder can help.
Volkswagen ID. Buzz: VW skipped the 2026 model year in the US and now plans to bring the van back in the first half of 2027 as a 2028 model.
