What’s eligible: Any 2023 model regardless of when it was introduced or last updated providing we’ve evaluated it since major changes.
Criteria: The best SUV offers practical utility in everyday driving and the comfort provided by a raised seating position. Because utility is so broadly defined, we’re looking for occupant and cargo roominess relative to the class, as well as usable all-wheel drive and towing capability.

Chevrolet’s Tahoe is a versatile SUV in its own right, with a choice of two V-8 engines or a more fuel-efficient turbo-diesel six-cylinder, as well as off-road, luxury and performance trims to satisfy a variety of consumer wants. And under the skin is a comfortable, roomy three-row SUV that can tow a maximum of 8,400 pounds.
Variety is the spice of life, and if you’re in the market for a full-size SUV, there’s a Tahoe to meet your needs. The Tahoe Z71 and its standard four-wheel drive are for off-road enthusiasts or shoppers who live in locales with frequent inclement weather. It may be strange to think of the Tahoe as sporty, but the Tahoe RST and its available 420-hp, 6.2-liter V-8 is a family hauler with sporting intentions. New for 2023 is the RST Performance Edition, which ups power to 433 hp and borrows parts from the Tahoe police variant in an effort to improve handling. There’s also an available turbo-diesel 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that has a combined 24 mpg rating, an impressive figure for a vehicle this size.
Comfort is also king in the Tahoe, with roominess in all three rows. The switch to an independent rear suspension from the previous generation has turned the third row into a place for adults and not just a penalty box for unruly children. The luxurious High Country trim adds materials that wouldn’t be out of place in GM’s more premium offerings — or from traditional luxury brands. Technology and luxury are also becoming more and more synonymous, and,\ for 2023, Chevrolet says it plans to add its Super Cruise hands-free driving system to higher trims of the Tahoe.
For a full-size SUV that can do it all, the Chevrolet Tahoe is an excellent choice.

Space is at a premium for growing families, but not every growing family has the space or budget for a full-size SUV. Enter the three-row Kia Sorento, which provides a high-quality and more affordable alternative to the hard-to-get Telluride.
Shoppers get a wide variety of powertrain choices, including two electrified powertrains with a focus on fuel efficiency. The gasoline-only Sorento uses a choice of two 2.5-liter four-cylinder engines, with a turbocharged option for buyers looking for more oomph. The Sorento Hybrid has a traditional gas-electric hybrid powertrain, while the Sorento Plug-in Hybrid gains additional electrification for 32 miles of all-electric range. Max fuel economy estimates range from 26 mpg combined in the gas-only version to 37 mpg in the hybrid (both drop slightly when adding all-wheel drive), while the AWD-only Sorento PHEV is rated at 79 mpg-equivalent.
The third row of the Sorento may not be the largest, but it remains usable, and families will like that the Sorento’s second row of seats aced our Car Seat Check for 2022; we don’t expect any changes to that for 2023. The smaller Sorento may also lag behind larger SUVs when it comes to towing, but an available towing package and 3,500-pound towing capacity gives the gas-only Sorento a useful amount for occasional moves or longer road trips.
Where the Sorento truly shines, however, is in its budget-friendliness, with a starting price just over $30,000 that gets you a roomy, capable three-row SUV with standard safety tech and good crashworthiness scores. It’s hard to argue with a good three-row SUV for compact SUV money. We’ve always considered the Sorento a viable alternative to the more popular Telluride, but it’s truly a smart choice for most SUV shoppers.
