Some motorists, for reasons of fuel economy and ease of parking, choose small cars. However, there are those who prefer large cars for comfortable travel. Therefore, in order to help you navigate in the whole variety of overall crossovers and SUVs, in this article we will tell you which of them are the largest and what advantages and disadvantages they have.
Toyota Tundra
This pickup truck has a length of 6.29 m, a width of 2.03 m and a height of 1.94 m. This large SUV is characterized by increased cross-country ability, a spacious interior and a roomy trunk.
The car’s advantages include high-quality interior materials and comfortable seats, which are easily adjustable for the driver and passenger, which allows you to spend more time on the road. Despite the dimensions, the machine is maneuverable. Large clearance allows you to drive even on the worst road.
Of the minuses, there is a high gas mileage and inconvenience when landing - to climb too high without the bandwagon.
The cost of an SUV starts at 3.5 million rubles.
Ford Excursion
For a long time, Ford Excursion held a leading position in the ranking of the largest SUVs in the world. Its length is 5.76 m, its width is 2.03 m and its height is more than 2 m. Like other SUVs, Excursion has good interior and trunk capacity, excellent handling and cross-country ability. During the development, engineers paid great attention to comfort and safety. In order to prevent the passenger car from being crushed under this huge SUV during the accident, a special system to absorb the shock was installed under its front bumper.
Fuel consumption Ford Excursion shocking motorists. The most powerful engine "eats" 27 liters per 100 km. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the cessation of production of this vehicle.
A used SUV in Russia can be purchased at a price of up to 1.5 million rubles. The cost depends on the condition and year of manufacture.
Chevrolet Suburban
The length of the American SUV is 5.7 m, the width is 2.04 m, the height is 1.89 m. The clearance height is 220 mm. This means that for this car there are no obstacles in the way.
Despite the automatic transmission, the engine accelerates the car very quickly. Compared to previous cars, fuel consumption is much less - 15.8 liters per 100 km. At the same time, it is difficult to drive in the city and especially park on such a large SUV.
Suburban is not supplied to the Russian market, so the official price is unknown. Another disadvantage follows from this - expensive spare parts for those who purchased a used Suburban.
Cadillac Escalade
Cadillac Escalade - a real ship on the road. Its dimensions are 5.18 m in length, 2.04 m in width and 1.89 m in height. Such dimensions provide the car with good stability on the road, and the clearance of 205 mm allows you to freely ride not only on city roads, but also in off-road conditions. The American SUV is available in three trim levels at a price of 4.7 million rubles.
A big plus of the car is its 8-cylinder engine with a volume of 6.2 liters. It provides a sharp acceleration, quick warm-up, which is very important in the cold season, and it is almost inaudible. Thanks to the wide step that escapes from under the car when the door is opened, you do not have to experience inconvenience when landing in the cabin. Salon Escalade is spacious, it is convenient not only for the driver, but also for all passengers. In addition, the car has a good security system, tenacious brakes, bright headlights and a voluminous trunk.
But this car has its disadvantages. Depending on the driving style, fuel consumption can reach 25-30 liters per 100 km. All-round cameras were useless in the dark. Cadillac may seem uncomfortable for driving on most Russian roads, as its suspension is designed too stiff.
Toyota Sequoia
The dimensions of the Sequoia are gigantic - 5.21 m in length, 2.03 m in width, 1.9 m in height. Ground clearance is 254 mm. The car boasts the quality of both materials and assembly.
Toyota Sequoia has a huge trunk, even in normal condition, and when the last two rows are expanded, it increases to the size of 3421 liters. Despite the powerful engine, the consumption in combined mode does not exceed 17 liters per 100 km.
Sequoia is not imported to Russia, and the SUV is popular in the North American market. At the current rate, it costs about 3 million rubles.
Chevrolet Tahoe
Dimensions of the American giant: 5.18 m in length, 2.04 m in width, 1.89 m in height. A sufficiently powerful motor shows good performance on the pavement, but the car does not shine when driving off-road.
The front seats have a ton of adjustments. By default, the second row is triple, but by paying extra you can get two more chairs with adjustable backrests instead. It is better to sit on the third row for children or people of short stature, since there is very little legroom.
The price for the basic package starts at 3.5 million rubles, for the top - from 4.7 million rubles.
Infiniti QX80
After the latest updates, the SUV was included in the rating of the largest and highest SUVs. Its length is 5.34 m, width - 2.03 m, height - 1.93 m. At the same time, the clearance of 261 mm is one of the largest.
Interior decoration is very expensive - natural wood, leather and high-quality plastic. Compared to other cars from this rating, the Infinity trunk is not the largest - only 470 liters. If necessary, its volume can be increased up to 2690 liters. A powerful engine also causes high fuel consumption - 20 liters per 100 km in the city and 15 liters in mixed mode.
In the Russian market, the model is presented in two trim levels at a price of 4.9 million rubles.
When choosing a large car, pay attention not only to its size, but also to those characteristics that in the future with daily use of the car will be of no small importance to you.
