As before, to get a truly usable third row, you need to upgrade to the ESV, which also offers
very good cargo capacity even with all three rows in use.
One peek at our rankings tell you that this was close - and that your own test drives might
very well produce different preferences.We also can say that if off - road capabilities were the prime criteria, the results would be much different.But for most of us, sport - utility vehicles are essentially cars with extra ground clearance, four - wheel drive, extra
cargo capacity, an added sense of security and an extra measure of rugged panache.So our judgments are based largely on the same standards we apply to automobiles, with safety features right up at the top of the list.
