Best Luxury Large SUVs for 2025
The best luxury large SUVs are ranked based on a data-driven analysis of over 330 million vehicles' reliability, resale value, and safety.

Why Should I Buy a Luxury Large SUV?
With their expansive cargo space, luxe interiors, and three full rows of seating, luxury large SUVs are the preferred choice for drivers who want a roomy and comfortable premium vehicle. While these SUVs used to be built on truck-based platforms and handle like trucks, today’s large SUVs are remarkably comfortable and quiet with relatively confident handling. However, the extra passenger and cargo space comes at a sacrifice in fuel economy, as these vehicles are not as efficient as their smaller counterparts.
Luxury 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, they vary in terms of premium features and capabilities.
What are the Best Luxury Large SUVs?
These luxury large SUVs feature strong powertrains, which typically feature V8 engines or twin turbocharged six cylinders.
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. However, these luxury large SUVs return sub-par fuel economy as a result of their power and size. They have many active safety features and family-friendly tech features as standard or optional equipment, including blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, rear-seat entertainment systems and touchscreen infotainment systems with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
What Other Vehicles Should I Consider?
Buyers seeking smaller, or luxury crossover SUVs, should check out iSeeCars’ Best Luxury Midsize SUVs list, or the Best Luxury Small SUVs list. For luxury three-row SUVs in the midsize and large category, refer to the Best Luxury SUVs with 3 Rows list. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid models are ranked on iSeeCars’ Best Luxury Hybrid SUVs list and all-electric models in the Best Electric SUVs list. Lastly, for a more efficient family hauler, be sure to check out the Best Minivans list.

How We Rank These Cars
iSeeCars Best Car Rankings are calculated based on the latest analysis by our data science team of more than 330 million cars.
The overall iSeeCars Quality Score combines analyses of these three factors: reliability, resale value, and safety. It is calculated based on the latest research and analysis by our data science team. The data analysis comes from over 330 million vehicles as reported in our Longest-Lasting Cars and 5-Year Depreciation Studies. These two factors are combined with NHTSA and/or IIHS Safety Ratings to determine a car’s Quality Score. Only cars with recent model years are included.
Each vehicle is rated on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest Quality Score. Vehicles within a given category are sorted to show the highest-scoring ones first. If two cars have the same ratings, the tie is broken by the Reliability Rating, Value Retention Score, and Safety Score. iSeeCars displays comprehensive Quality Scores along with the subscores for each model because multiple factors should be taken into account when buyers are seeking the best overall vehicle.
Vehicles are scored in three categories:
Reliability
The reliability score represents an analysis of iSeeCars' proprietary research on the longest-lasting vehicles.
Value Retention
The value retention score is based on our data science team's statistical analysis and prediction of 5-year depreciation from MSRP to determine which cars hold their value best, using US Bureau of Labor Statistics data to adjust for inflation.
Safety
The safety score is calculated based on the last five years of crash test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and incorporates the latest Top Safety Pick information from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
