The 2018 Chevrolet Suburban is the ultimate weekend road-trip vehicle ready to haul nine people, their luggage, and even an 8,300 pound trailer. Try that in a crossover.
Pros Upscale interior Strong V-8 engine Superlative towing ability More fuel efficient than you might think
Cons High cargo floor Rides more like a truck than rivals Expensive at every level Throwback looks
Unless you need the Suburban's nine-passenger configuration (which is only available on the base LS model), we recommend going with the midlevel LT trim. It comes with a substantial amount of standard equipment and is a solid pick as is. But we'd suggest getting the Luxury package to add some useful driver safety aids and a power liftgate.
Pros Seating for up to nine passengers Cargo capacity is generous Strong V8 engine can tow and haul plenty of cargo
Cons Maneuvering in tight spaces is challenging High cargo floor means more effort to load objects Lazy gas pedal response makes engine feel weaker than rated
The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover is the pinnacle of SUVs.
Pros Astounding capability regardless of terrain Exceptional on-road ride and handling Impressive engine lineup As comfortable as any vehicle anywhere
Cons Dual touchscreens’ learning curve Eye-watering price Design is beginning to show its age Great off-road, but so rare to see a dirty one
The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover ranked #4 in Luxury Large SUVs. Currently the Land Rover Range Rover has a score of 8.3 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 36 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros Legendary off-road ability Cushioned ride Roomy, posh cabin Powerful engines
Cons Cumbersome infotainment system Less cargo space than competitors High price
For 2018, a number of minor design tweaks have been made to the exterior and interior. Most notably the interior ditches a lot of knobs and buttons in favor of a second touchscreen. New, top-of-the-line seats are available, and the SVAutobiography Dynamic trim gets a slight bump in horsepower.
PROS Excellent balance of off-road ability and luxury A wealth of interior and exterior options for customizing Long-wheelbase variant provides additional rear legroom Available with a diesel engine
CONS Standard engine's modest power may disappoint Capability means compromise, and highway steering may be too heavy for some Large wheels can bring vibration and noise into the cabin at highway speeds
