2017 Cadillac Escalade ESV

If the Chevrolet Suburban doesn’t do it for you, look for the Escalade ESV on the Caddy lot. It’s much the same vehicle but improved in virtually every category. The engine is a 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower, and all those fancy GM options that are available on the Chevy are standard on the Escalade ESV.

Between the doors of the 2017 Cadillac Escalade ESV, you’ll find nearly the exact same measurements. The Escalade ESV has 120.7 cubic feet of total cargo volume with the seats down and 39.3 cubic feet behind the third row. It’s not the biggest SUV, but it’s close.

With volume like that, the exterior has to be a dominating presence. For Cadillac, the Escalade ESV has a striking image and looming size wherever it goes.

2017 Lexus LX 570

It’s another large premium SUV to choose from. The Lexus LX 570 is a killer on and off the road, containing an extremely capable standard 4WD system and 383-horsepower engine. Amenities inside include a widescreen dashtop panel and an exotic appearance that rivals the Germans. But that’s not what we’re here for.

The 2017 Lexus LX 570 has tons of interior space, although not as much as the others. It has 83 cubc feet of interior cargo space with the rear seats folded, but not much of anything with the rear seat up. If you plan on leaving the pavement though, this should be your choice in the 10 biggest SUVs.

2017 Infiniti QX80

It’s the luxury edition of the Nissan Armada, almost exactly. It wouldn’t be a stretch to think the Armada is a dumbed-down version of the Infiniti QX80. It has 400 horsepower from a 5.6-liter V8 and adds more standard features like an Around View Monitor, navigation and Bose audio system.

Even the interior specs are within a fraction of the Armada. The interior cargo volume behind the front seats is 95.1 cubic feet and behind the third row is 16.6 cubic feet. The slight difference could even be the result of more plush materials like premium leather and high-grade woods.
