The Best Full-Size SUVs of 2025

Bigger Is Best

Sitting next to them in traffic, it certainly can feel like the modern full-size SUV has gotten absurdly large. And while that may be true, if you’re looking for a vehicle to take six to eight passengers, loads of luggage and gear, while also hauling your boat/camper, you need all the vehicle you can get. Carmakers have been solving these exact use cases for decades, making today’s full-size SUVs as well-rounded as they are big. Below we run down the best full-size SUVs of 2025, looking at everything from advanced safety features and the latest infotainment tech to tow ratings and trims.

6. Toyota Sequoia

The 2025 Toyota Sequoia does all your basic giant SUV stuff, all that towing and people hauling, with style and efficiency. The Sequoia gets better than average gas mileage for the segment thanks to a 2.4L twin-turbo hybrid V6. This set up offers a stout 437 horsepower and 583 lb.-ft. of torque and manages to get 22 combined mpg in RWD form or 20 combined when equipped with 4WD. Towing is rated to a max of 9,520 lbs. The Sequoia features a roomy cabin, but the total cargo capacity is short of the segment leaders. Material quality is impressive with optional SofTex or leather upholstery while chunky switch gear emphasizes the Sequoia’s rugged pretensions. Dominating the dashboard is a gargantuan 14-inch infotainment screen which flanks a smaller (12.3-inch) digital gauge cluster. The base Sequoia SR5 starts at $62,425. The Toyota Sequoia remains a respectable choice among full-size SUVs.

5. Ford Expedition

The Ford Expedition is all new for its 2025 model year with major improvements inside and out. Two powertrains are offered for the Expedition. First, a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 making 400 horsepower. A high output version kicks things up to 440 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque, allowing the Expedition to tow up to 9,600 lbs. Interior updates help the Expedition stack up well against swankier options (see GMC Yukon and Jeep Wagoneer below). A boldly redesigned dashboard features a giant 24-inch digital screen for both gauge info and navigation which is supplemented by a 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen. A new split tailgate is another of the Expedition’s new party tricks. The Expedition Active comes decently equipped and starts at $62,000.

4. GMC Yukon

GM has been doing the mammoth SUV thing for a while as the Suburban dates back over 90 years. Currently, GM makes four full-size SUVs, three of which are on our list (the other being the Cadillac). Of those three, the GMC Yukon is easily the swankiest. The Yukon offers three distinct powertrain options. The base motor is a 5.3L V8 making 355 horsepower and netting a combined 17 mpg. An even larger 6.2L V8 makes 420 horsepower and gets a similar 17 combined mpg (16 with 4WD). For greater efficiency, the Yukon also offers a 3.0L diesel with 305 horsepower and 22 combined mpg. Towing for the Yukon is modest for the segment at 8,400 lbs. The strongest argument for the Yukon as your next full-size SUV comes from its stellar interior. Even in base form, the Yukon comes with leather upholstery. With its sharp design and high material quality the Yukon looks and feels expensive (because it is!). A vertically oriented touchscreen measures a gargantuan 16.8 inches, begging the question of how big is too big for infotainment screens. The Yukon comes equipped with a generous list of advanced driver assistance features including adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring. The Yukon’s Achilles’ Heel is its starting price at an eye-watering $69,395. But at that price the Yukon comes very well equipped with heated seats, 20-inch wheels, and a digital gauge cluster among its many standard features.

3. Chevrolet Suburban

The 2025 Chevrolet Suburban is built on the same platform as the Yukon and Tahoe but offers even more passenger and cargo space than those similarly large SUVs. Like its GM siblings, the Suburban offers three engines: a 5.3L V8 (355 hp), a 6.2L V8 (420 hp), and a 3.0L diesel (305 hp and 495 lb.-ft. of torque). Towing maxes out at 8,300 for the Suburban. The Suburban’s primary distinction from the rest of the segment comes from its absolutely cavernous interior. There’s 42 inches of legroom for the third row and a full 145 cu.-ft. of total cargo capacity. Upholstery comes in cloth or leather and material quality climbs substantially as you ascend the trim ladder. Like the Yukon, the Suburban offers a full assortment of advanced driver’s aids. The Suburban LS starts at $62,000. The Suburban remains the standard for all those for whom too much is not nearly enough.

2. Chevrolet Tahoe

The 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe is basically a slightly smaller version of the Suburban, making it slightly more maneuverable as a result. The Tahoe features the same trio of engines mentioned above, the 5.3L and 6.2L V8s (355 and 420 hp, respectively) and the 3.0L diesel (305 hp). Towing for the Tahoe maxes out at 8,400 lbs. The Tahoe’s interior is nearly identical to that of the Suburban; both can be had in base form with a bench for seating for up to nine passengers. The cabin’s quality and its list of creature comforts improve as you climb up trim levels. Like the Yukon, the Tahoe proudly jumps the shark with an infotainment screen that measures 17.7 inches. High-end tech features include a heads-up display, a Bose stereo, and a host of advanced driver assistance tech. The Tahoe LS starts at $61,195. Yes, the Tahoe is ponderously large and expensive, but then so is the rest of the segment.

1. Jeep Wagoneer

The 2025 Jeep Wagoneer takes all of the segment’s most extreme features and expands and refines them by ten percent. The result is an epic full-size SUV, in size and otherwise. The Wagoneer is powered by a 3.0L twin-turbo “Hurricane” inline-six making 420 horsepower and netting a combined 20 mpg (19 mpg when equipped with 4WD). Not only does this motor offer decent acceleration, but it also provides for the Wagoneer’s class-leading towing at a max of 10,000 lbs. The Wagoneer’s cossetted cabin is the segment’s quietest and comes with niceties like standard leather upholstery and a triple-paned panoramic sunroof. Jeep keeps things moderate when it comes to screens with a pair of 10.25-inch screens for the gauges and infotainment. Tech features like Apple Carplay and Android Auto come standard as does an assortment of advanced safety features that includes blind spot detection and adaptive cruise control. The Wagoneer also starts reasonably for the segment at $59,945 and comes with leather, an Alpine stereo, and heated mirrors among its many standard features. With its robust powertrain, opulent interior, and moderate pricing, the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer edges out GM’s trio of giants to claim its top spot among full-size SUVs.
