9-seater SUVs for the Biggest Families: Comprehensive Buying Guide with Prices

Chevrolet Suburban: chevrolet.com/suvs/suburban
The 2023 Chevrolet Suburban holds the distinction of being the SUV nameplate with the longest continuous presence in automotive history.

Chevrolet Tahoe: chevrolet.com/suvs/tahoe

CABT F-650 XXL Excursion: customautosbytim.com/F650XXl.html

Force Motors Trax: forcemotors.com/index.php/vehicle/trax-cruiser

First of KIA carnival is not an suv and some of these SUV’s here are custom made. SMH

[@dcman4902]

Right, to me the Kia carnival looks more like a van than the other vans 😅

[@user-bf8wy4lv4x]

Kia Carnival is a minivan, the official Hyundai korea website says so.

Kia carnival fits 8 not 9 and it is a minivan.

[@yungnachty4474]

Big issue with converting a pick up to an SUV is the bed area is not intended to carry passengers in case if a wreck which means it will either crumple or just fail outright,

[@AutomotiveTerritoryDailyNews]

Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully they address this issue before tge conversion.

[@dinanbimmertv1864]

1970s to early 90s Chevy suburban. Seats 9 with the three row option if you don’t mind someone sitting in the middle of the front bench, looks beautiful, and great gas mileage! 😊

[@AutomotiveTerritoryDailyNews]

Thanks for the suggestion. Can you still find one in a decent state?

[@tony64t]

The old Land Rover Defender 110 was available with 9 or 10 passenger configurations. I went to a Kia dealership to check out their Carnival. The prices were so padded with dealer add-ons, the average price was between $45-55K! Although this was about 9seaters, you opted to show us highly optioned, leather lined, over-the-top models that’s most likely beyond the reach of a large middle-class family.

[@AutomotiveTerritoryDailyNews]

Hi. These are the current options. If I missed some cheaper 9-seat model, I would be happy to learn about them. Please suggest them in the comments for everyone to see.

[@IM2MERS]

I mean at this point just buy a bus if you have a family that big

[@marvinm8446]

I liked the models of SUV Car and they are extremely beautiful 🚙❤️🥰💕💖.

[@rentero0329]

I miss the days that the Toyota Revo still exist. You can easily fit 12 to 13 people inside of it without paying ridiculous amount of money for such large vehicles with less capacity..

[@nicktran939]

Cool. What year

[@HAIYANEX9910]

​@@nicktran939 you not know? Isuzu Crosswind, Mitsubishi Adventure, toyota tamaraw revo VX. Those legendary 3 where is alot better than those very expensive suvs these days. Where they can't cary more than 7 persons. Those are way way smaller but it fits 10 or even 12 person easily. It's alot cheaper too.

[@rapidcars1]

The nine seater base suburban could very well be a 11 seater by adding a jump seat behind the third row

[@madhavenramen6830]

First of all I have an KIA CARNIVAL and It is a 11 seater so I recommend you buy the kia carnival hybrid 2022 ❤

[@AutomotiveTerritoryDailyNews]

Good choice!

[@evanthepleaseimsorry4663]

The Suburban, Tahoe, and Yukon do not have 9 seat options in the most recent models. The 10th generation (and maybe older) Suburban is the only one that I think actually has a 9 seat option

[@Noob_PlayzRBLX]

That’s exactly what I was going to say!

[@AutomotiveTerritoryDailyNews]

What are you talking about? 9 seats are avaialble, depending on the configuration/market

[@Idk-gy5gs]

[@ErikTS]

@@Noob_PlayzRBLX On Chevy's own website it says there is a 9 seat option available on the 2023 LS trim with front bench (for the US market at least).

[@quandaledingle9382]

[@orlyt274]

This is almost the cost of a house in many places or one heck of a down payment. Few folks can afford this. Option1

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

Good luck finding a suburban or Tahoe LS with a front bench seat

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

No dealers order the HD tow package so no luck finding it new or used

[@CarStartUps]

Yup most don't have it so it's kinda rare if u have one with the front seating bench

[@Mike-cr2bc]

Minivans are awesome

[@silcosilva]

I liked the model that has 6 doors; for convenient and quick ingress and egress of 6 to 9 passengers...

[@AutomotiveTerritoryDailyNews]

Thanks for sharing,!

[@victortorres3776]

The megarex is not a new idea, i remember back in the 70's and early 80's this was a common afternarket idea that was used on pickups to make extended suvs when the broncos snd c/k blazers were only 2 doors and very ahirt wheelbase. There was even a corvette camper conversions (yes I'm that old. .lol)

[@AutomotiveTerritoryDailyNews]

😲 I would like to see a Corvette-camper.

[@blakutnuj]

Cool. But Suburban is the only way to go!!!

[@manymeez1406]

Some of those SUVs gas would be very expensive 😢 Those prices are ridiculously expensive 😫

[@AutomotiveTerritoryDailyNews]

I totally agree☹️

[@chrisgraham2904]

You missed the 8 passenger vehicles from Ford, such as the Expedition and it's cousin (my vehicle), the Lincoln Navigator. I was surprised with your thumbnail showing sideways seating for passengers 6,7,8,&9 in one of the vehicles. I haven't seen sideways seating since my 1972 Ford Country Squire station wagon. The back four seats were only suitable for small children and siting sideways, they rarely survived a serious crash.

[@AutomotiveTerritoryDailyNews]

Thanks for the feedback. From my experience, the sideways seating layouts are still commonly offered in developing markets.

[@victormena1501]

The Chevrolet Suburban,GMC Yukon XL and the Cadillac Escalade

[@AutomotiveTerritoryDailyNews]

Good choices

[@griffinroblox73]

i have thought of a truck that has 14 seats in it so it has no middle seat in the back it has a door like a school bus back door and it fits 2 seats next to the doors and 3 seats on each side of the truck bed

[@zayas6999]

cant help but wonder how slow the carnival with the 4 banger would be fully loaded with the kids and gear. wow.

[@SMG-0_0]

By the way, can you look at the Hyundai Staria?

[@alex6758s]

Can I put the seats down in the first one ?

[@Dondriver12345]

Why don't just buy a van if you need to transport 9 people regularly? There's nothing said about the accessibility of the 3rd row of those SUVs.

[@dontamayo1980]

My 5 seater 4runner can accommodate 9 Asian size person! No kidding and and no hype with the sky price of this. Would like to have it though.

[@thanossmellsbad1377]

Asian 7-9 seat (3-row) cars have the Toyota Sequoia, the Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan XTerra, and maybe the Toyota Highlander too. I wonder how many Asian size people sits in a compact size sedan. Maybe 6 or 7...

[@thanossmellsbad1377]

Land Rover Defenders might be categorized by a SUV by some. It has 8 seats, (2 in the front, 3 in the middle, 3 in the rear), it's one of my favorite ones, but I classify it as a jeep. And KIA Carnival is a new minivan made in 2024, not a SUV, lol. The Hyundai Palisade can seat up to 8 or 9 depending on the seat configurations.

[@AutomotiveTerritoryDailyNews]

Lol. What does it mean that you classify it as a jeep? Jeep is a brand, not a body type

[@thanossmellsbad1377]

@AutomotiveTerritoryDailyNews The G wagon of the Mercedes Benz brand is called a Jeep, maybe the Ford Bronco too? Lol, Jeep is a brand with off-road SUVs.

[@ggarrafoli]

[@oceanborn01]

There are legal obstacles. For example, in Turkey, there cannot be a 9-passenger passenger vehicle. It must be registered as a bus in the license.
