Discover the Spacious and Capable Hyundai SUVs with Third Row Seating
When you need an SUV with extra passenger space, Hyundai delivers with an impressive lineup of three-row models. The Palisade, Santa Fe, and IONIQ 9 each offer comfortable seating for up to seven or eight people, making them perfect for larger families or those who need flexibility in their vehicles. Let's take a closer look at what each of these Hyundai SUVs has to offer.
Hyundai Palisade
As Hyundai's flagship third-row SUV, the Palisade comfortably seats up to eight passengers, with ample legroom and headroom in all three rows. Behind the third row, you'll find 18 cubic feet of cargo space, which expands to 45.8 cubic feet with the third row folded down. When you need maximum cargo capacity, fold down the second and third rows for a cavernous 86.4 cubic feet.
Powering this SUV is a 3.8-liter V6 with 291 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft of torque. The Palisade also offers an efficient eight-speed automatic transmission and available all-wheel drive for enhanced traction and stability in varied conditions.
Inside the Palisade, you'll find a wealth of technology, like a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, wireless device charging, and multiple USB ports. And with advanced safety features like forward collision warning, blind-spot monitor, and smart cruise control, you can drive confidently, knowing you're protected. Experience the Palisade's premium features for yourself when you purchase a new Palisade at Hyundai of Lufkin.
Hyundai Santa Fe
The Hyundai Santa Fe's available third-row seating expands capacity to seven passengers while still offering 36.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row. Fold down the second and third rows, and you'll have a generous 72.1 cubic feet of cargo room.
The Santa Fe comes standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 191 horsepower and 181 lb.-ft of torque, providing a nice blend of power and efficiency. For those seeking more spirited performance, a 2.5-liter turbocharged option offers 281 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft of torque. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and are available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
Technology is at the forefront in the Santa Fe, with a standard eight-inch touchscreen. Though higher trims offer a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation, as well as a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. Families in Livingston will appreciate the Santa Fe's standard Hyundai SmartSense safety technologies, including adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and driver attention warning. With its just-right size and well-rounded feature set, the Santa Fe is a smart choice for many households.
Hyundai IONIQ 9
Joining Hyundai's EV lineup is the all-electric IONIQ 9 SUV, featuring a spacious three-row interior that seats up to seven passengers. The IONIQ 9 not only turns heads but also helps maximize efficiency. Advanced battery technology enables a driving range of over 300 miles on a full charge, making it ideal for long-distance travel. Say goodbye to gas stations and hello to fast charging capabilities when you're out and about in TX.
The IONIQ 9's electric powertrain delivers an estimated 308 horsepower and 446 lb.-ft of torque and also features an advanced regenerative braking system that captures energy during deceleration to help recharge the battery and extend the vehicle's range.
Step inside, and you'll find eco-friendly materials, ambient lighting, and a panoramic glass roof that creates an open, airy feeling. The IONIQ 9's dual 12.3-inch displays integrate the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system, providing a high-tech and intuitive user experience.
