The 2015 Honda Pilot may look like a truck from the outside, but its driving dynamics are surprisingly car-like.
By comparison, the Toyota Highlander is equally comfortable, but not as much to drive.
The Ford Flex is one of our favorites, thanks to its comfortable interior and legitimately excellent driving dynamics with the EcoBoost V-6.
The Ford Explorer also looks tougher than it is, but offers more technology than the Pilot.
The Chevrolet Traverse is the big boy in the category here, with a well-appointed interior and good seating position.
The Kia Sorento offers the most bang for the buck in the segment, but it feels smaller inside, thanks to its rakish roofline.
