7 or 8 seat reliable SUV that can go over 200k miles

The Right Car for Me | TrueDelta

True_Grits

I need a reliable, older (2011 or newer)7 or 8 seat suv that will get 200k or more miles. The vehicle will be used for rideshare and will be driven an average of 25k miles per year. I am leaning toward the 2012 Hyundai traverse but the data is very limited since that was the last year of production. Any feedback or suggestions are appreciated.

Priorities: Reliability & durability / Fuel economy / Safety & braking

Need minimum of 7 seats

Will consider both new and used cars
Maximum mileage: 150000
Maximum age: 11 years

Maximum price: US $ 12000

There are not many that are that reliable to act as a 7 or 8 seat SUV for 200,000 miles. I recently took a car service and they put me in a Cadillac Esclade because the Chevrolet Suburban the driver usually drove had a seized engine (after 175,000 miles and it was taken care of). I have the same experience with a Ford Explorer where the engine seized after 180,000 miles so they are no better. Chrysler forget about as it won't work for nearly as long.

You probably would do better with a used Toyota Sienna. Those seat the number you are talking about and have some cargo space as well. They are used a lot by car services and those go 200,000 fairly reliably with normal mainteance over the duration. Unfortunately, this is van, not an SUV. If you go with a Toyota Highlander that would work as well and be reliable seating 7 or 8 depending on the seating arrangement. These two cars would do better than the Hyundai you are thinking about.

Best of luck.
