These are the best hybrid 7-seater SUVs for snow based on iSeeCars' analysis of each vehicle’s ground clearance and key features for driving safely in the snow

The best hybrid 7-seater SUV for snow is the Toyota Sequoia (hybrid), with 9.1 inches of ground clearance. For a vehicle to make the iSeeCars Best Hybrid 7-Seater SUVs for Snow list it has to have standard or optional four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and at least 5.5 inches of ground clearance. Hybrid 7-seater SUVs that meet these requirements are ranked by their ground clearance, as higher ground clearance allows for safer and more effective travel over increasingly deep snow.

How We Rank These Cars

The best Cars for snow rank vehicles by their ground clearance and key features helpful to driving safely in the snow.

For a vehicle to make the iSeeCars Best Cars for Snow list, it has to have standard or optional four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and at least 5.5 inches of ground clearance. Vehicles that meet these requirements are ranked by their ground clearance, as higher ground clearance allows for safer and more effective travel over increasingly deep snow. When two vehicles are within 0.5 inches of ground clearance we prioritize by each model's safety score, then by key features for driving safely in snow, and finally by the iSeeCars Score, to break ties.

The iSeeCars Score is an analysis of 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 12 million new and used vehicles in our Longest-Lasting Cars and 5-Year Depreciation Studies, combined with NHTSA and IIHS Safety Ratings.

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).
