3rd Row Seat Options?

We're expanding the family and looking into 3rd row seat options. Currently our list consists of the Toyota Grand Highlander, Land Cruiser, Buick Enclave, and Tesla Model Y. I'd love the new 4runner, but who knows when that's coming out. While creature comforts are nice, we really only care about reliability and getting us where we're going on road trips. Trying to avoid the larger gas guzzlers if we can. Any recommendations for or against these models?

It's okay to say you don't want a minivan.

I can assure you I'm not too cool for a minivan. I actually pushed for one for months as I think they're most practical. Mrs isn't ready to be a minivan mom, but, as I mentioned, ground clearance is my biggest concern. When factoring everything, a small suv seems to be the best option for us.

Even if that's the case I can't blame you. I wouldn't want one either. Don't know why others are being so condescending about it honestly.

I didn't even ask for alternatives is what's getting me. Because they don't understand my needs, I'm in the wrong I guess. I just wanted reviews on the vehicles I noted and received nothing but minivan purists telling me I'm wrong 😂 I'm not trying to impress anyone so a minivan wouldn't bother me, but it isn't practical for our lifestyle.
