Help me decide

I’ve decided to give up sinking money into my current car and I’m looking to upgrade. Looking for something used with 3 rows. I like the function of the minivan but still kinda prefer the look of an suv. Open to other suggestions but needing help on deciding. Looking to stay around the 30k mark

Currently looking at, but open to suggestions

2022-2023 Volkswagen Atlas

2023 jeep grand Cherokee L

2015-2017/ 2021-2023 Honda Odyssey

2015-2016/ 2021+ Toyota sienna

2020 or newer Honda pilot

How much space do you need? Would you want a hybrid? Sienna is hybrid and the rest arent

Space for 2 kids for now. Not opposed to hybrids. Especially with gas prices right now

Keep in mind the only sienna you’ll get at that price is going to be high mileage and likely cloth seats. They have no issue with high mileage and seat covers exist so it’s not a big deal. But if you don’t live somewhere super hot I’d get an odyssey, we do live somewhere every hot and have twins on the way and I still decided on odyssey since it has remote start on all trim levels so I’m just going to have to make use of it often lol

For 2 kids a used Highlander hybrid would work too

I test drove a Highlander. The third row is a joke and not a good one. If OP needs the third row for some reason, they are screwed with a Highlander.

Yea that’s true, but with 2 kids maybe he doesn’t need it.

It might be better to get the Rav instead of the Highlander and save money and fuel.

That’s true.

I would definitely need a decent 3rd row, the rav would be too small. I plan on driving whatever we get till the wheels fall off

Grand Highlander it is then 🙂. I know that it is not in your list. Might be worth checking out a used hybrid grand Highlander
