Russian conditions truly unique to the car. The harsh northern climate here is combined with not the best quality roads and an abundance of rough terrain. In winter, asphalt is actively sprinkled with caustic reagents that can destroy even a good paintwork in a matter of years.
That is why SUVs or jeeps are traditionally in great demand in Russia. They are passable, roomy and have high ground clearance for overcoming pits. Major manufacturers also trying to adapt models for consumers from Eastern Europe, introducing "warm" features and special packages.
IN modern conditions the reliability of the machine is of great importance. Some companies pay too much attention to efficiency and manufacturability, which is why power plants have a short life.
At the same time, hardly anyone is ready to easily part with the car for a few weeks of repair. Our ranking of the most reliable SUVs for Russian roads tailored to the unique conditions of use of the machine and makes it easier to select best option on every day.
It is worth noting that now the concept of "SUV" is very blurry. Some mean by it only large frame machines with huge mud wheels and a snorkel. Others think more globally and put jeeps and crossovers in this category.
Cadillac Escalade
The legendary "Escalade" cannot be called a standard of reliability, but in many respects it surpasses its competitors precisely in this indicator. The model first appeared at the end of the last century, and in 2015 its fourth generation was born.
Of course, modern fashion has seriously affected design features cars. Now it cannot be considered a "real" SUV, ready to overcome any obstacle. became a full-fledged city dweller, but still performs well on rough terrain and light off-road.
The basis of the reliability of the model is the lack of modern technical solutions. The car is still equipped with a huge 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces relatively small 409 Horse power. Paired with the power unit is a six-speed automatic transmission.
The Escalade's suspension is also quite simple. An independent “multi-link” is installed at the front, and a continuous bridge at the rear. Owners speak positively about the operation of the all-wheel drive system, which lasts a long time without serious loads.
It is worth considering the cost of the car, which is 4,990,000 rubles. Relatively little for a premium SUV.
Volvo XC60
This crossover has been featured on the markets of many countries for a long time, and in March 2018 we saw its new generation.
At the same time, the first generation was sold for almost 10 years, which indicates a positive attitude of the audience towards this model - they did not stop buying it even with an outdated design.
As always, Volvo focuses on safety and reliability. The second generation of the car received more spacious sides and new turbocharged engines (gasoline and diesel).
In Europe, a "charged" version is also offered with a hybrid power plant, issuing 407 horsepower. Such power allows the car to accelerate from standstill to the first “hundred” in just 5.3 seconds, but the hybrid is not officially sold in Russia.
"" copes well with tasks on rough terrain. A clearance of 216 mm allows you to easily drive along a country road or to the country house, and even in the city serious problems definitely won't happen. It is worth noting that the clearance changes in different driving modes to reduce fuel consumption and noise in the cabin.
Paired with a wide range of engines, the Swedes so far only offer all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It is possible that soon we will see configurations with front-wheel drive and even "mechanics" - such a composition will definitely be very reliable and inexpensive to maintain.
Chevrolet Tahoe
This huge "wardrobe" has long been the dream of many young guys and men. In fact, Tahoe is a complete analogue of the Yukon model from General Motors Company. The fourth generation of the SUV came to dealers back in 2014 and still does not lose its relevance.
That is why the Chevrolet concern did not withdraw this model from the Russian market, when most of the others abruptly disappeared from the stands in the showrooms.
Under the hood, we see the same 409 horsepower V8 that is used by the Escalade. The appetite for such a unit is rather big, even according to official documents, gasoline consumption in the city is 18 liters, but in reality even more.
No "mechanics" American SUV, of course not, but a proven hydromechanical one is offered. It easily withstands high off-road loads and easily pulls a massive trailer.
Already in the basic configuration of the car, the owner receives the following options:
- Leather trim;
- Adaptive cruise control;
- Advanced multimedia system;
- Three-zone climate control;
- LED headlights and more.
Here everything is done to ensure that the driver and passengers feel as comfortable as possible.
Toyota RAV4
Again we return to a more budget segment and then we have the first Toyota (but not the last). It is this Japanese company that has long established itself as a manufacturer of incredibly reliable and hardy cars.
RAV4 is one of the bestsellers of the brand, which no one can compete with. Of course, call now a full-fledged SUV this model is impossible, but it still feels fine on the “crossroads”.
As always, the basis of the reliability of the machine is proven and successful units. For several years, the Japanese have been installing old engines and gearboxes. Russia is an important market for Toyota, so the company is thoroughly preparing for the release of new generations and models. In addition, all cars undergo special training for the conditions of the country.
Not so long ago, the manufacturer showed a new generation of "", which will become available with us around the middle of 2019.
But the current generation still has good sales (sixth place among jeeps and SUVs in the first quarter of 2018), and on the road it will not be difficult to find the owners of such a car.
Nissan Pathfinder 3
Perhaps every off-road lover considers this model excellent SUV. But keep in mind that we are talking about the third generation. For some reason, Nissan decided to make not the most popular changes to the car, depriving it of a frame structure and good motors.
The third generation was excellent in everything - the five-speed automatic transmission performed its functions flawlessly and had a long resource, and a wide selection of engines (especially diesel ones) allowed everyone to find the right option for themselves. The turbine is also made correctly with competent and timely maintenance.
Despite the large size and "off-road" status, the car was equipped with a fully independent suspension. This allowed her to be comfortable even at high speed and not catch "rolls" during sharp turns.
Shock absorbers, ball joints and struts served for a long time, and their replacement is not so expensive. We hope that someday Nissan will release the very successor to the Pathfinder 3, which will delight the owner with its unsurpassed qualities.
Toyota LC Prado
Prado is Toyota's mid-range SUV. It has all the advantages of its "older" brother, but is less richly equipped and differs in the line of power units.
Under the hood of the modern we see the following motors:
- 2.7 gasoline (163 horsepower);
- 2.8 diesel (177 horsepower);
- V6 gasoline (249 horsepower).
Paired with engines, they work relatively plain boxes gears. The most popular is the six-speed, which has not been seriously changed for several years. The Japanese position Prado not only as a premium SUV, but also as a roomy "workhorse".
That is why in the basic configuration for 2,289,000 rubles we see the interior trim with fabric, stamped wheel disks And mechanical box gears. But in more expensive modifications, the owner can get all the modern options and a seven-seat layout for the comfort of the family. Recently, the model has undergone a light restyling that touched on the appearance.
In technical terms, engineers do not change anything, because for their money, the Prado is perhaps the most reliable SUV.
Toyota Land Cruiser 200
The entire Kruzak family has long been famous for its reliability and maintainability. Up to 200,000 kilometers on the odometer in a car, you only need to change Consumables, and the remaining nodes serve with dignity even after this mark. The 200th version of the car appeared back in 2007, and during this time it managed to survive two restylings.
For the company offers two engines - gasoline and diesel. The first has a V-shaped configuration for eight cylinders and 309 horsepower with 4.6 liters of volume. diesel engine by 4.5 liters after restyling, it has grown from 265 to 272 “horses”, but in Russia this power unit still produces 249 forces for the sake of taxes.
Simple technical solutions allow you to achieve good success on the road. Installed in front of the machine independent suspension on a pair of levers on both sides, behind - a continuous bridge with rods. To eliminate rolls, special anti-roll bars were used.
The popularity of Kruzak speaks for itself - for several years now it has been holding the lead in sales among the mass of competitors. This car is used by businessmen, politicians and many other categories of the population.
Lexus LX570
This premium SUV created for those who Land cruiser seems not rich enough. Many consider it a complete copy of the "two hundred", but this is not so. Under the hood it has a 5.7-liter engine with 367 horsepower.
Paired with the power unit is an eight-speed “automatic” with the ability to shift gears in manual mode. From standstill to 100 km / h, the car accelerates in 7.7 seconds, and the maximum speed is limited at around 220 km / h.
The developers of the motor claim that they were able to find the optimal combination of alloys. The motor housing is made of lightweight and durable aluminum, ensuring the durability of the assembly. Of course, few will be able to afford the new LX570, but one cannot fail to mention it in the ranking of the most reliable SUVs for Russian roads.
The car performs well in the city, and does not remain lagging behind on the roads. On the other hand, it’s better not to go off-road without modifications - the air intake is not in the best place. Otherwise, the Lexus is able to compete in cross-country ability with many other well-known models.
SUVs are small trucks with solid construction and beautiful design. Typically, such cars are chosen by drivers with the desire to express their superiority on the road. For show business stars, businessmen and politicians, transport has become an indicator of status and privileges.
Global car manufacturers provided the buyer huge selection jeeps, which in their own way could distinguish themselves good performance, different value for money.

8. Hummer H2 (Hummer H2)
To understand how big it is, it is enough to put an ordinary passenger car nearby. The view from the Hummer window is completely different, as if through a prism, everything immediately becomes negligibly small. Management in this transport is quite simple, despite the prevailing stereotypes.
In a traffic jam, the driver of the Hummer H2 will feel pleasant and comfortable, thanks to the height of the body, you can easily see where there is free place or how long the cork is. Also, when maneuvering or turning on the direction indicator, other road users will give way to such a giant.

The short wheelbase and high ground clearance make the Toyota FJ Cruiser one of the best cross-country SUVs. The maximum off-road configuration includes rear differential locks and branded Bilstein shock absorbers.
Representative of SUVs made in Russia. In this rating, the cheapest vehicle in price and maintenance for fans of off-road driving. Comfort and special quality in the cabin, as seen in the photo, "Patriot" is no different, however, it's nice that there is power steering, high clearance, patency with terrible performance. The bonus is the presence of two stoves, and in some versions - a diesel "engine".
After a competition for strength in mud in one of the regions of Russia between Nissan Patrol and UAZ Patriot 4 × 4, the UAZ turned out to be the winner. japanese jeep I had to pull it out twice from places where the Patriot in Russia felt confident and cheerful.
The cost of the Limited configuration is 665,000 rubles with a gasoline engine with a volume of 2.7 liters and 128 horsepower. To get the best off-road unit at this price, you need to add another off-road refinement, which will cost 200,000 rubles.
A beautiful jeep for real men. Help in difficult situations electronic appliances with which the car is equipped both outside and inside.

Also pleased with the installation of the front differential, good suspension and an engine with 411 hp.
2. LADA (VAZ) Niva 4x4 (2121)
This car does not have a genuine leather interior, a super-new on-board computer, an engine power of only 81 horsepower and does not look like in a photo in glossy magazines. But the quality of driving properties is excellent, it is considered one of the best in the world and, in particular, in Russia, due to which it takes an honorable second place in the ranking of the best jeeps.
Niva has the following technical characteristics: height ground clearance 220 mm, wheelbase only 2.2 meters, permanent four-wheel drive, center differential with lock, razdatka with two steps.
A small Russian Niva 4x4 will be able to overcome almost any terrain: forests, fields, swampy areas and even the most terrible “mud baths” are not a hindrance to it. Therefore, for Russia, taking into account our roads, this car is what you need.
Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with three doors won the "Best SUV" award. This is a great jeep that can handle any challenge that comes its way. Thanks to diesel engine With 200 horsepower, two RU-LOK® locking differentials, a Dana 44 axle, an anti-roll bar disengagement system, and plenty of clearance, this off-roader has excellent off-road capability.
Brutal appearance Jeep Wrangler attracts Special attention passersby. The price is, on average, about 2 million rubles.
We have already considered, but today we will talk about the best SUVs in terms of price-quality and other aspects, such as design and reliability, and in the end we will decide which SUV is the best. Recently, for the sake of comfort, modern automakers have been sacrificing even the main indicator for an SUV, its cross-country ability, however, one cannot but rejoice that there are still models that can show their best even in stock.
These are the best jeeps in the world, the list of which we provide in this article. Let's start our top 10 best SUVs with brands and models that are known to almost everyone in our country.
Even in the stock configuration, the car shows very serious off-road qualities, and with an optional set of parts off road Adventure II, he becomes a real conqueror of gullies.
Modern modifications of the Grand Cherokee are assembled on the basis of a platform that was developed jointly with Mercedes engineers. But more this car is suitable for driving on roads, as it is a crossover.
At the same time, the car retained its recognizable appearance, and its acquisition will not cost a fabulous penny, which makes it good option for those who are looking for an affordable SUV, but categorically do not want to consider domestic options.
Nissan Frontier PRO-4X - off-road pickup truck
This mid-size pickup truck made it to our top SUVs thanks to its serious off-road capabilities. The pickup is equipped with a lockable rear differential equipped with an automatic transmission.
One of the key advantages of the model is the ability to deliver not only passengers, but also an impressive amount of cargo on the rear platform, however, in the fight for the title of the best SUV, this plays a far from decisive role.
Land Rover LR4 (Discovery) - inexpensive, but passable
Over the past few years, you can see that this well-known British automaker has gone a long way towards “SUVs”, which are not very good at grinding off-road and are intended more for imposing driving on highways. It is for this reason that all modern innovations from Land Rover are equipped with independent suspension.
However, Discovery has a couple of tricks up its sleeve, which could carry it into the best SUVs in the world. They are assembled in the optional Heavy Duty kit, which includes anti-skid TCS system, lockable differentials and a normal spare tire.
Toyota FJ Cruiser - an alternative to the Land Cruiser
Can compete for the title of "best SUV in the world" and our guest from the land of the rising sun, mainly due to the excellent heritage of "Kruzak". short base will not give softness under normal conditions, but for off-roading it is what you need.
In addition to this, the car has a high ground clearance and short overhangs. However, not the best visibility and the lack of a full set of locks in the basic configuration allowed him to take only seventh place in the mix of the top 10 SUVs. Although you can often see the FJ-Cruiser on the roads, so this is a fairly popular SUV.
Mercedes G-class is really the best SUV
We decided to award sixth place in the top 10 SUVs, which has been produced for more than half a century and has serious military roots. Of course with modern modifications not much is left of the progenitor, but the car still pleases with its reliability and sane driving performance.
Why is this not the best Jeep on our list? Because it costs a lot of money, so it is practically not rolled out off-road, if we are talking about the AMG version, and ordinary G500s are rolled out off-road only in this way. But in Moscow, Gelendvagens are quite popular SUVs.
UAZ - an SUV that is not a pity
But at " domestic manufacturer Everything is simpler with the pricing policy, so the best SUVs, according to many patriots, are very often used for their intended purpose.
This is facilitated by the classic all-wheel drive with locks, good reliability and the ability to carry out field repairs with almost improvised means. It is for this that fishermen, hunters and those who have to work not with roads, but with directions, love UAZ.
There is UAZ Hunter and. Of course, these cars need skillful hands because a lot of defective parts come straight from the factory.
Lada 4x4 "Niva" - an inexpensive SUV
Another representative climbed to fourth place in the top 10 jeeps domestic auto industry. Of course, in terms of the level of comfort for the driver and passengers, this car can only compete with the UAZ, but in terms of off-road work, its performance has long earned respect from many.
Relatively low weight and good geometry allows the Niva not to sink where even more serious cars get stuck. For the average person, the cross-country ability of the car is more than sufficient.
Toyota Hilux - reliable and nimble pickup
Another not the newest, but very serious representative of machines that are able to survive everything that falls to their lot. Hilux takes third place in the top 10 jeeps, not "by pull", but based on the results of many years of operating experience.
The old modifications of this car were very ascetic in terms of comfort, but they were simply monstrous survivability and maintainability, thanks to which they can be found on the go even now, moreover, in such conditions in which any other car has long been sent to a landfill. Even heavily overloaded, this pickup pulls itself out of the mud quite easily on all-wheel drive, and with some refinement it turns into a real off-road king.
Hummer H1 - the legendary large SUV
Choosing the best SUV in the world, it was quite difficult to decide who would become it - a Hummer, or a car, which will be discussed below. H1 was created as a cross-country vehicle for the needs of the US Army, and its first samples entered service as early as 1985.
Until now, the machine has been successfully used in all military operations and has earned a huge mass. positive feedback. As for its off-road capabilities, they leave many of the best SUVs far behind. It’s just a pity that its new modifications have turned into thick SUVs, so the first place goes to ... In general, it will be very expensive to get a Hammer in normal condition now, so we can’t say that these are the best SUVs, but we will include them in our list, so be.
Jeep Wrangler - inexpensive, light, good off-road
Yes, the title of "the best jeep in the world" is given to the same JEEP. This car has become a real legend, and its name has become a household name. The story began with an army off-road vehicle capable of delivering not only infantrymen, but also light guns, or other cargo to places where the roads were not even heard of.
Against this background, it is no less pleasant to realize that traditions are honored to this day, so the new Rubicon continued the work of its predecessors. Excellent geometry, a powerful engine and two lockable differentials in the base make it a serious competitor on any off-road.
The best SUVs in terms of design - Infiniti QX80
But to be honest, you can’t just take it and say which SUV is the best.
For example, in terms of design, the best SUV is the Infiniti QX80, even though it is not cheap, the basic equipment of this model costs 4,250,000 rubles, and if there are additional options in the car, the price can rise to 8,000,000 rubles.
But on the other hand, this car is reliable, gives a lot of joy behind the wheel. You don’t really want to drive into the dirt on this car, but in fact, it can. Most importantly, this SUV is large and considered elite, its appearance immediately attracts attention.
In the cabin, everything is expensive and beautiful, it is clear that a premium car costs serious money. Excellent ergonomics, every detail in its place. Both inside and outside it is clear that the car is unique, so buying such a car you can really stand out from the crowd, whoever wants it.
Toyota Land Cruiser 200 - the best SUV in terms of reliability-price
But in terms of reliability, the best SUV is the Toyota Land Cruiser 200. This car is hard to kill, even old copies still drive, successfully overcome impassability, if necessary. Its appearance is not as elegant as that of Infiniti, so it is not a pity to drive it off-road.
The Land Cruiser 200 is also an expensive SUV, the basic equipment will cost 3,000,000 rubles, but it is simple, there are large buttons in the cabin, a lot of space.
The suspension is soft, when you drive this car, you can not notice whether there are pits or not, the suspension evens out all the pits, so the comfort in the cabin is constantly maintained.
In general, we have decided which SUV is the best - moreover, its new version has already been released.
Recently, vehicles are becoming more comfortable and soft, and even in the SUV class, the comfort of the driver and passengers is higher than off-road performance. For most buyers, this is a positive sign. But still, there are many supporters of real off-road monsters that feel great in the mud and in other harsh conditions. If you are looking for a car of this class, our cross-country SUV rating will definitely help you make the right choice. Consider which SUV is the most passable and present the top of the latest models.
In 2019, Mercedes-Benz has unveiled one of the most off-road SUVs, the all-new G-Class known as the G550 and the AMG G63 (the latter model is considerably more powerful). While the new 2019 G550 retains its boxy profile and looks much the same as before, Mercedes says it only carries over three items: door handles, spare wheel cover and headlight washers.
SUV Features
More importantly, this versatile mercedes SUV still manufactured in Graz, Austria, has a stronger and completely new frame with independent front suspension replacing the front axle of the old G. Three locking differentials (center, rear, front) ensure that the new model can handle difficult terrain with ease. Moreover, the new G550 lost about 170 kg. thanks to revised materials and a lighter body. Most of the new hull is made of steel, while the fenders, hood and doors are made of aluminium.
Even with its military flair and all-terrain capabilities, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 looks like a luxury. luxury SUV. On it you will feel calm in absolutely any conditions. If you prefer sleek aero designs, the G, which has enough the wind noise associated with its flat windshield is not for you. Also, the car stands out for its high fuel consumption.
In practice, in 2019 the company introduced an almost completely redesigned car. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is brand new in terms of bodywork, reinforced frame and independent front suspension. The new G550 is equipped with a two-speed 4.0-liter V8 with 416 horsepower. A single 9-speed automatic transmission is also now available.
under the hood
Under the aluminum hood of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 is a twin-turbo four-cylinder V8 that produces 416 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. This is reflected in the acceleration of the SUV - from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.6 seconds. The engine is a little unusual in that its turbochargers are located on top, in a V-shaped aluminum block, rather than outside. One transmission is available, a 9-speed automatic that sometimes skips gear ratios to improve efficiency during acceleration.
The 2019 Toyota Sequoia is a big, sturdy eight-passenger three-row SUV, one of the most off-road vehicles in the world. Unlike sedan-based SUVs like the Highlander's sibling, the Sequoia is an "old school" sporty all-terrain SUV. By that, we mean a "body-on-frame" designed for towing and off-roading, not for commuting and shopping.
Auto features
There's a standard, but high-flow, V8 engine and a selection of Toyota's active driver assistance systems. However, it's undeniable that the Sequoia falls short of its direct competitors in some ways, especially the more recent Ford Expedition and Chevrolet Tahoe. The Sequoia, of course, will do a great job of transporting even a children's football team, but the real purpose of the car is to be in the wild or transport cargo.
If you need a powerful full size Jeep with good off-road performance proven reliability and high resale value, Sequoia delivers at a price much less than, for example, Toyota Land cruiser. Standard Toyota Safety Sense features, introduced last year, also put the car at the top of the rankings for the best all-terrain SUVs.
If you really need a powerful V8 all-terrain vehicle to shop or take the kids to school, the Sequoia can be a little awkward, especially in parking lots. Most buyers will be better off in such a more comfortable, more economical and inexpensive crossover, How Toyota Highlander. It's also worth noting that the SUV's direct competitors, the Chevy Tahoe and Ford Expedition, are more recent.
under the hood
The 2019 Toyota Sequoia has a 5.7-liter V8 engine. While it's not the most powerful in its class and certainly not the most efficient car at 18L/100km in the city, it's a proven workhorse. Its 381 horsepower and 401 Nm of torque are enough to propel the car up to top speed and transport up to 3300 kg.
Again, this figure is not the best (Ford Expedition has a load capacity of up to 4200 kg.), but it should satisfy most needs. All Sequoia models use a 6-speed automatic transmission. By default, the car is equipped with two-wheel drive (2WD), full - optional for an additional fee.
Built on the rugged frame of the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser, Lexus car The 2019 LX 570 is the proverbial “iron fist in a velvet glove.” This large SUV from Lexus is efficient off - road and at the same time can pamper you with every comfort . Call it " range rover Lexus, if you will, but with more reliability and resale value.
This year, Lexus is offering the LX as a 2-row/5-seat or 3-row/8-seat vehicle equipped with the latest infotainment and safety features. With its multiple all wheel drive (AWD) settings, locking center differential and low gearing, the LX 570 can handle the toughest off-road terrain. Decide which of the options for an SUV is better, each separately.
If you're looking for a luxurious 2- or 3-row SUV built to tackle rugged terrain, the 2019 Lexus LX 570 will excellent choice. This big jeep not far behind such popular models like an Audi Q7, Mercedes-Benz GLS or Volvo XC90, although three-row Cadillac Escalade ESV offers more interior space. Also, if you're looking for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, Lexus offers neither here.
Lights built into the side view mirrors now project the Lexus logo onto the ground. Also, in addition to the multi-information digital clock display, the built-in Lexus Enform Remote includes smartwatch and Amazon Alexa integration.
under the hood
Like the 2018 model, the 2019 LX 570 is powered by a single engine, a 5.7-liter aluminum-block V8 with 383 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 403 Nm of torque at 3,600 rpm. 4-cylinder mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. This combination provides the SUV with maximum cross-country ability.
All LX 570s boast all-wheel drive. If you lock the center differential and engage the low-frequency gear, the SUV will simply continue to pull forward, no matter how uneven or slippery the road surface is. Fuel consumption of 18 liters. per 100 km. in the city and 13 liters. on the track is also one of the main drawbacks.
11th generation Chevrolet Suburban 2019 might be considered an "old timer", but it definitely doesn't get old. The full-size SUV continues to be popular with large families, offering a huge interior, a powerful V8, and so many features and options that it's hard to remember right away. The new Ford Expedition Max is very similar to the Suburban, but has a 450kg increase. load capacity and a flat rear floor with reclining seats.
Peculiarities
However, the Suburban's upscale interior and choice of available V8 engines make the difference for most ATV enthusiasts. Other than extended versions of the Nissan Armada or Toyota Sequoia, Suburban's only competitors are its corporate twins, the GMC Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade ESV.
If you need full size SUV With more power, more interior space and more comfort, the stylish Chevrolet Suburban is just the thing for you. A powerful V8, a new RST Performance Package and a maximum payload of 3,750 kg make the choice easy, as are a host of high-tech options.
The main disadvantages are high fuel consumption and high price. If you just need a car for seven or eight passengers, and you're not worried about carrying capacity, check out the less expensive Chevrolet Traverse, Honda Pilot, or Subaru Ascent with all-wheel drive. If you want maximum payload, the Ford Expedition Max is the better choice.
For 2019, the Suburban received a new RST (Rally Sport Truck) performance package that includes a 420 hp 6.2-liter V8. with., 10-speed
And a performance-calibrated version of GM's Magnetic Ride Control. Options for the RST include a Borla exhaust and a Brembo brake kit.
under the hood
The Suburban's base transmission is a proven performance and reliability 5.3-liter 355-horsepower V8 engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It has ample power, 419 Nm of torque, direct fuel injection and active cylinder control. If the car isn't a leader in fuel economy, it delivers efficiency that's at least reasonable given the Suburban's incredible off-road capabilities.
The smooth 6-speed automatic transmission does a great job of keeping the engine running at peak power. 2-wheel drive is offered as standard, all-wheel drive (4WD) is available as an option. Maximum lifting capacity with 2-wheel drive (2WD) is 3700 kg., Therefore, the volume is 5.3 liters. more than enough. Opt for the new RST Performance Package and you get a 6.2-liter V8, 10-speed automatic transmission and sport suspension.
Powerful, roomy and versatile, the 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe remains one of the most powerful and recommended full-size SUVs in the UK.
