Best Large SUVs for 2024

Why Should I Buy a Large SUV? With their expansive cargo space and three full rows of seating, large SUVs are the preferred choice for drivers who want a roomy and comfortable vehicle. These SUVs used to be built on truck-based platforms, with a rough ride quality and unwieldy handling that reflected their industrial foundations. But today’s large SUVs are remarkably comfortable and quiet, with relatively confident handling, but fuel efficiency remains a disadvantage compared to smaller SUVs. Full-size SUVs are an ideal choice for drivers who want powerful vehicles with massive cargo holds. While the entire segment offers ample cargo and passenger space, some are more spacious than others. What are the Best Large SUVs? These big, brawny SUVs have strong powertrains, which often include V8 engines. And because most large SUVs still use body-on-frame construction and are built on pickup truck platforms, they have a higher towing capacity than their midsize and compact SUV counterparts. Large SUVs come standard with rear-wheel drive, while four-wheel drive (4WD) is available for improved all-weather capabilities. These large SUVs return sub-par fuel economy as a result of their power and size, but they have many safety and family-friendly tech features like rear-seat entertainment systems and touchscreen infotainment systems. The GM full-size SUVs including the Suburban, Yukon, and Tahoe saw a redesign for the 2021 model year to include updated styling, added cargo space, and more standard safety features. The iconic Land Cruiser was discontinued for the 2022 model year, so those looking for this vehicle will have to browse used car lots.
