Both of them are in the 250hp range.. Honda has more power… but minivans ki hybrid better as you use them a lot and you save lot of money on gas..

no man..konni mid size suvs baganey vunnayi 3rd row and height in 3rd row, for eg Honda pilot 23 big improvement in 3rd row, also telluride also good. Lux suvs tho prob enti antey mid size vi 3rd anni cramped vuntayi..due to their sportier handling that they look in lux cars so you have to go for full size suv in Lux if you are looking for better 3rd row seating ..like QX80 etc

i am not comfortable with Kia Telluride .. 50k spend cheyatam dhaani meeda .. not so much safety anipistundi .. 

yeah full size SUV theeskovali proper 3rd row kavali ante .. but gas mingestundi

bro manchi height unte no issues...my personal experience tho chepthunna. I still have Pilot and I dont have minivan yet....my mom had tough time to get inside the car. She got knee replacement and its all fine now, but ah age ki mobility n flexibility undadhu...I bought a Ikea stool just for her...so that she can step on it and then get inside and same stepping out kuda. Naa prob chusi, my cousin exchanged his Odessey for a month and my mom n dad loved it a lot...main reason easy in and out plus very roomy inside....my dad was so comfy in 3rd row. He is 5'10 so Pilot lo he tried couple of times (it was hell for him to get to 3rd row and coming out was another hell anuko), but for his height 3rd was cramped...local ey kada ani adjust ayyaru...but minivan lo 10hrs road trip ki vellam and majority of the time my dad was in 3rd row without any complaints.

there is no SUV in the market presently which has better 3rd row than any minivans...yes, some have decent space than other SUV's kani end of the day, minivans Vs SUVs are totally different category and u cannot compare both interms of 3rd row.

Between SUV's as far as I know, Ford Expedition and GMC Yukon are best interms of 3rd row.....kaani driving is a hell bro. I rented Expedition and went to Yosemite once....super comfy unte kani so tough to drive...2nd n 3rd row vallaki ah ghat roads lo turnings ki almost vomiting anuko...I wouldnt recommend these large SUV's.

Just to add: it is very easy to sleep very comfortably in a minivan when going on trips.. 2nd row captain seats bend back considerably and easy to sleep.. 3rd row is also good to sleep if you put a blanket.. my kid loves the 3rd row.. 😄

also with all 3rd row SUV’s there is not enough trunk space if you keep the 3rd row.. which beats the purpose of going on long drives as you cannot carry many bags.. also lot of leg space 

In the end, it depends on how old your kids are.. it is a no brainer to buy a minivan if your kids are small.. they will love it..

If u r parents come to visit regularly go for minivan . I have two kids too but my parents hardly come but when they come we drive around in two cars for long drives i usually rent . 7 seaters are less economical if u dont use them regularly and minivan is a minivan
