Which 2025 SUV Has the Most Interior Room?
Based on size alone, the SUV with the most interior room is the Chevrolet Suburban. But all of our picks boast outstanding interior space, adult-friendly second-row and third-row seats (where available), and versatile cargo areas.
And since pure size isn't the only consideration, we'll also highlight features that elevate functionality and comfort, like the availability of second-row captain's chairs, power-folding seats, and roof rails.
Most Spacious Full-Size SUVs
Chevrolet Suburban
It’s little wonder that the Chevrolet Suburban has been a popular full-size SUV for those with large families for decades. With a spacious cabin and gargantuan cargo volume, it can easily accommodate the gear for all nine passengers aboard (eight with front bucket seats, or seven if you opt for second-row captain’s chairs instead of the standard bench). Essentially a long-wheelbase variant of the Chevy Tahoe, the Chevy Suburban is among the largest three-row SUVs on today’s market.
The Chevy Suburban includes a comprehensive list of standard features, such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, and the latest safety features. A hands-free liftgate is available. Built on the same platform as the Cadillac Escalade ESV luxury SUV, it offers plenty of upscale features without the high-end pricing.
