1. 2026 Chevrolet Suburban • 144.5 cu ft
Carfax Expert Rating: 5.6 out of 10
Price: $63,400
Pros: Expansive cargo area, three rows of roomy seats, relatively efficient diesel engine, intuitive tech features
Cons: Some low-quality interior materials, poor fuel economy with V8 engines
The Chevrolet Suburban stands out with its enormous cargo area, spacious seats, powerful V8 engines, available diesel engine, and straightforward tech features. The Suburban has a few low-quality interior materials that stop it from feeling as upscale as its rivals. While the Suburban’s diesel engine provides good fuel economy, the available V8s offer poor fuel economy for the class. The Chevrolet Suburban is the larger version of the Chevrolet Tahoe, and it shares a platform with the upscale GMC Yukon XL and luxurious Cadillac Escalade ESV.

2. 2026 GMC Yukon XL • 144.5 cu ft
Carfax Expert Rating: 5.6 out of 10
Base Price: $72,200
Pros: Relaxed ride, lots of cargo space, spacious cabin
Cons: Pricey
Based on the Chevrolet Tahoe, the GMC Yukon brings extra luxury to the table. Robust engines and advanced towing features make the Yukon an adept hauler while its large cabin and luxurious interior helps it move people in comfort. The Tahoe, though, does the same for less. The "XL" is the longer version of the Yukon.

3. 2026 Cadillac Escalade ESV • 142.2 cu ft
Carfax Expert Rating: 5.8 out of 10
Price: $94,100
Pros: Cavernous interior, bold exterior styling, available with high-tech features, boisterous V8 engines
Cons: Some low-quality materials, poor fuel economy, below-average towing capacity
The Cadillac Escalade is an automotive icon that delivers a flagship experience. Its large size can make it difficult to drive, but the Escalade has cutting-edge tech, gutsy V8 engines, and an enormous cabin. The Escalade is expensive and guzzles fuel, but no other SUV is as famed. The "ESV" model is a longer version of the standard Escalade.

Price: $60,400
Pros: High towing capacity, robust engines, spacious seating for nine, large standard displays
Cons: Low-quality interior materials, confusing interior controls, subpar fuel economy, higher trims have luxury prices
The truck-based Chevrolet Tahoe is an adept hauler of people and cargo. Spacious, comfortable, and capable of towing up to 8,400 pounds, the Tahoe is a do-it-all SUV for families. The available diesel engine brings good fuel economy while the SUV has surprisingly refined on-road qualities.

Carfax Expert Rating: NA
Price: $130,405
Pros: Enormous cabin, cutting-edge tech features, up to 460 miles of range, luxurious interior
Cons: Missing smartphone compatibility, poor driver visibility, pricier than rivals, unsettled ride quality
The Cadillac Escalade IQL is a larger version of the Escalade IQ. Thanks to its larger body, the IQL has a cavernous cargo area and a generous amount of passenger space. It also has cutting-edge tech features, stirring performance and an impressive amount of range, but it is pricey.

6. 2026 Ford Expedition MAX • 123.1 cu ft
Carfax Expert Rating: 6.0 out of 10
Base Price: $61,825
Pros: Spacious interior, powerful twin-turbocharged V6 engine, high towing capacity, advanced tech features
Cons: Poor fuel economy, imprecise handling, competitors have more total cargo space, some poor interior materials
The Ford Expedition stands out with a cavernous interior, powerful V6 engines, a high towing capacity, a wide range of trims, and a smooth ride. However, it trails rivals when it comes to total cargo capacity, fuel economy, handling capability, and interior quality. While the Expedition offers up to 108.5 cubic feet of cargo space, some competitors provide even more. And despite a standard turbocharged V6 engine, the Expedition isn’t much more efficient than its V8-powered rivals. The Expedition’s handling is a bit coarse; other SUVs in its class have smoother driving dynamics. Also, this Ford’s top trims are priced more like luxury models than mainstream SUVs.

7. 2026 Lincoln Navigator L • 121.6 cu ft
Carfax Expert Rating: 6.5 out of 10
Price: $99,995
Pros: Deluxe interior, potent V6, robust tow rating, generous cargo capacity
Cons: Vague steering, difficult to fit in some garages
The Lincoln Navigator is a large luxury SUV with a cabin that features an elegant design and premium materials. A 10-speed automatic transmission is standard, as is 4-wheel drive (4WD). Cargo capacity maxes out at 107 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded. This SUV’s acceleration is swift, and the Navigator can tow up to 8,700 pounds. However, steering is vague, and it’s so large it may have trouble fitting in some garages.

8. 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L • 116.7 cu ft
Carfax Expert Rating: 5.7 out of 10
Price: $65,945
Pros: Premium cabin, outstanding towing capability, spacious interior
Cons: Large size hinders maneuverability, costs more than rivals
The Jeep Wagoneer’s interior delivers elegance and refinement more typical of a luxury vehicle than a mainstream SUV. The design is chic, and high-quality materials are used throughout the huge cabin. The first two rows are spacious, and even the third row is roomy enough to accommodate adults comfortably. Cargo room is similarly massive, topping out at a maximum 130.9 cubic feet. There are some weaknesses to be aware of: The Wagoneer is among the most expensive models in its class, and its size hinders maneuverability in compact spaces.

Carfax Expert Rating: NA
Price: $79,900
Pros: Good range, large interior, lively acceleration
Cons: Expensive, a lot of tech to learn
A few years after the debut of its Air sedan, the EV startup Lucid is launching an SUV. The Gravity is a midsize luxury crossover with a large cargo area and an available third row. While it undercuts the Tesla Model X in price, it's more expensive than several direct competitors. Class-leading range and strong acceleration help make its case, though.
