With crossovers dominating the market, it's easy to overlook the advantages that a traditional family sedan still offers. For buyers who prioritize comfort, fuel economy, and long-distance refinement, a well-executed hybrid sedan can often deliver a better ownership experience while costing less to buy and run.

Over the last couple of years, Mazda has built a strong reputation for themselves. If you're looking for something luxurious on a budget with entertaining driving dynamics, they're an easy choice. The CX-90 is the brand's flagship, and the three-row SUV aims to push this ideology harder than any other model before it. In fact, lots of reviewers crack jokes that the Japanese brand has simply built a BMW, which is a pretty big compliment in our eyes.

Three-row SUVs have become increasingly expensive, with many popular family haulers now starting well above the $40,000 mark. For shoppers on a tighter budget, finding one with enough seating for the whole family often means making significant compromises or shopping used.
