Top 10 Most Popular SUVs

The Suburban and Tahoe are by-far the best-selling models in their class, and they're tough rivals for the Ford Expedition, Toyota Sequoia and Nissan Armada, among others. These two Chevy models are closely related in most ways, but the Suburban is 14 inches longer in wheelbase and 20 inches longer overall than the Tahoe. The larger dimensions results in a significantly larger third-row seat than in the Tahoe--as well as easier access to it, as well as more cargo space. Compared to other...

The Toyota 4Runner debuted in the U.S. more than 25 years ago. Now in its fifth generation, this midsized SUV uses the same platform as the FJ Cruiser and maintains its truck-like body-on-frame construction. A third row of seats is available and both the second and third rows fold completely flat without having to remove the headrests, providing a cavernous 90 cubic feet of cargo space. The optional sliding rear cargo deck can support up to 440 pounds.

Subaru has been extremely successful with the Outback and the Forester, and much of that success can be attributed to how those cars drive. Contrary to expectations, both provide an easy, car-like driving experience for their owners. The Ascent attempts to continue that tradition with a full-sized 3-row SUV. They've succeeded making the Ascent physically smaller than the interior might feel. The interior is massive and yet, the exterior dimensions reveal a vehicle that isn't particularly huge...

The redesigned Honda Pilot crossover utility vehicle is focused toward interior comfort and versatility. It features three rows of seating worthy of a minivan, yet it also incorporates the ruggedness of traditional SUVs. The Pilot features a powerful engine and reasonable fuel economy thanks to an available 9-speed transmission. A host of safety features are available as well.

The Toyota Highlander is a mid-sized near-luxury crossover competing in a crowded segment where just about every major auto manufacturer has a hat in the ring. What makes the Highlander successful is its blend of technology, convenience and Toyota durability at the right price. With plenty of standard features, plus a bevy of options, all wrapped in an attractive package, the Highlander stands out in a crowded field.

The Cherokee is a compact SUV competing with vehicles such as the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V. Like the Cherokees that came before, the 2019 model maintains the tradition of competitive pricing and strong off-road capability starting at just under $26,000. While the Cherokee and its competitors are often offered with all-wheel drive, the Cherokee offers more aggressive off-roading equipment, such as a locking rear differential.

The SUV segment has been a heated battlefield over the last decade. GM has gone to great lengths to make sure its lineup stands out from the competition. The Traverse does this by offering class-leading interior room and an engine lineup that's now more powerful and efficient than ever. The refreshed styling helps distinguish the SUV from the many lookalike vehicles in this category. A positively sporty-looking RS trim offers a turbocharged 2.0L engine and unique black accents.

As a late addition to an already wildly popular midsize SUV class, the Atlas must work hard to distinguish itself in the company of such vehicles as the Chevrolet Equinox and the Toyota Highlander. The Volkswagen Atlas features class-leading interior space for all passengers in all rows along with unique exterior styling that resembles nothing else in the segment. All Atlases equipped with all-wheel drive come with a driving mode selection system that allows the driver to choose the ideal...

The Ford Explorer has been rated one of the safest utility vehicles at any size or price; it's the first vehicle in the world to offer rear inflatable seatbelts. Curve control -- a more advanced version of electronic stability control -- is also a Ford exclusive. Ford's MyKey system helps parents manage the teen drivers in the family. The Explorer also stands out for being one of the "greenest" choices available. Ford claims best-in-class gas mileage for non-hybrids and notes that the...

The Jeep Wrangler continues to build upon its earned reputation among off-roading enthusiasts by delivering a unique driving experience to those looking to explore. Jeep's off-road capabilities rank among the best, while this Wrangler's lighter steering, revised body mounts, retuned shocks and drivetrain have all been upgraded for an around-town experience that makes driving it a pleasure when compared to older models. The Wrangler is unique in the automotive market in that it doesn't...
