CarsDirect.com maintains a "Mid-sized SUV Buying Guide" section in
their website, located at:
http://www.carsdirect.com/research/new_cars/buying_guides/suvs/midsize
Vehicles that they classify as mid-sized SUVs are linked at the bottom
of this page. Clicking through to the specification pages for each one
reveals that the following are available with either standard or
optional third row seating:

The CarsDirect.com information, while detailed, does not cover the
whole gamut of midsized SUVs on the market. The following MSN Autos
article lists some other midsized SUVs with third-row seating:

"Third-row Seating Another Trend
In recent years, midsize SUVs, originally fitted with seating for five
passengers, have been adding more seats inside.
Indeed, in 2004 for the first time, the Highlander can be had with
third-row seating, and the Cadillac SRX offers three rows of seats,
too.
Third-row seating already have been available on several midsize SUVs,
such as the Explorer, Mercury Mountaineer, Mercedes-Benz M-Class,
Dodge Durango, Buick Rendezvous, TrailBlazer and GMC Envoy."
You can also check out Consumer Guide's website for it's list of
