Edmunds highlights 2026 six-seat SUVs with captain’s chairs, comparing cargo space, prices from $33,635, and features including electric range and off-road ability.
- For the 2026 model year, Edmunds and Stacker compiled a buyer's guide of six-passenger SUVs for the U.S. new-vehicle market based on its testing and ratings, comparing seating layouts, powertrains and pricing.

- The BMW X7 lists a starting MSRP of $87,875 and offers seating for six or seven, while the Ioniq 9 surpasses 300 miles in EPA range and reached 366 miles in Edmunds' test, priced at $72,850 for six seats.
- The Ford Explorer, base trim, starts at $40,025, making it the cheapest six-seat SUV with third-row seating, over $1,500 less than the Kia Sorento, according to manufacturer data.
- Mercedes‑Benz GLS offers six seats at no extra charge and AMG GLS 63 has 603 horsepower, while Acura MDX has a removable second-row seat and Volvo XC90 pairs bucket seats with a minimalist interior.
