Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

The 2025 RS 6 Avant Performance lives up to the last part of its name. Developing an awesome 621 horsepower, it will accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in only 3.3 seconds.
For comparison, the BMW M5 Touring is another high-performance wagon, but differs in crucial ways. Despite its awesome 717 hp, it’s a plug-in hybrid. That entails extra weight, so the car is a couple of tenths slower to 60 mph than the RS 6 Avant Performance.
Not a wagon, but a practical hatchback nonetheless, the Porsche Panamera GTS churns with 493 hp and burns to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds. We don’t really care about a tenth or three. It’s not as if you’re going to find time to yawn in those fleeting fractions of a second. All these cars are wonderfully quick.
In the real world, we had to do a sensory double-take. How can a wagon be so exciting while retaining such practicality? If we had to describe the acceleration in one word, it would be “ferocious.” And the exhaust sound is glorious, a real V8 growl. We would also say the standard sport-tuned air suspension rides on the taut side, but that’s how it should be in a car like this. We still found it comfortable enough. And the cabin is sufficiently quiet when we weren’t revving the wonderful engine.
As well as all-wheel drive as standard, the RS 6 Avant Performance comes with rear-wheel steering, This enhances low-speed maneuverability (we were extremely grateful when doing a tight 3-point turn) and contributes to overall agility at higher speeds.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
Anyone choosing a fast car with a powerful V8 isn’t likely to fret about the fuel bills. The RS 6 Avant Performance achieves 17 mpg in combined city/highway driving, but that’s not so bad in context. The Panamera GTS, for example, is rated at 18 mpg combined. The M5 Touring plug-in hybrid can travel for 25 miles on battery power, returning the equivalent of 54 mpg combined (MPGe). But when that battery is used up, the car only manages 13 mpg combined.

Subtly Sporty Exterior

Exterior

It’s the subtly flared fenders that do it for us. Not over the top, but wide enough to accommodate the bigger rubber necessary for a performance car. The RS 6 Avant Performance also sits lower on its sport-tuned suspension than a regular A6 sedan. Factor in the usual elegant Audi lines and proportions, and there’s a lot to admire.
We also admire Audi for bringing such a remarkable wagon into the United States. It doesn’t matter if the American public seems mostly oblivious to the practical advantages of a wagon &#8212; like a lower center of gravity compared with an SUV (creating greater stability) and better aerodynamic performance &#8212; because the RS 6 Avant Performance is a niche car that resonates with a select few. We think it looks terrific in black, but Ascari Blue Metallic is also gorgeous.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Virtual Cockpit Plus 
No longer new technology, but Audi’s standard Virtual Cockpit Plus still impresses us with its clarity and ease of use. This digital instrument cluster has sharp graphics and, despite a wealth of information available, doesn’t require much time to master. The regular arrangement features white characters on a black background, but one RS-specific twist reverses that (if desired).
Powered tailgate 
Apologies for not going fully performance-minded, but we like how the RS 6 Avant Performance is also a luxury car in addition to being supremely fast. Convenience features like this really add to the day-to-day joys of ownership.
Head-up display 
In common with the Virtual Cockpit, this is no longer cutting-edge tech, but we like to see crucial information projected onto the windshield so we can retain our focus on the road ahead. This is part of the optional Executive package that also includes power-closing doors and remote parking assistance.
Driver Assistance package 
We wouldn’t be surprised if most RS 6 Avant Performance drivers will prefer to be completely engaged rather than use this optional package’s adaptive cruise control. We still recommend this $2,000 option, though, because it also includes blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, as well as intersection assistance. If it prevents just one collision, it would probably have paid for itself.
Bang &amp; Olufsen Advanced system with 3D sound 
We think this 19-speaker/1,820-watt array sounds fantastic. The standard system in the RS 6 Avant Performance is also a B&amp;O and only slightly less earth-shaking.
Ceramic brakes 
Sure, the standard brakes are great. However, this optional setup provides extra confidence and reassurance, especially for any RS 6 Avant Performance owners considering taking their car to the track.

Elegantly Practical Interior

Interior

“Audi-posh” is how one member of our test team put it, meaning that the cabin of the RS 6 Avant Performance is full of fine materials and tech, all put together in that elegant yet understated Audi way. We also love the shape and support of the sporty RS front seats, and the seating surfaces of perforated leather.
We think the central display is a good size at 10.1 inches on the diagonal. It’s big and clear enough to show information, yet not distracting like some larger screens can be. We also appreciated the quad-zone climate control. Rear legroom of 37.4 inches is acceptable among midsize cars and enough for adults of up to average size.
Because Avant is Audi-speak for wagon, the RS 6 Avant Performance has plenty of versatility when carrying people and things. Behind the split/folding rear seats is a cargo area measuring a generous 30 cubic feet, expanding to 59.3 cubic feet when those seats are down.

KBB Editors' Overview

The next time someone tells you Father Christmas doesn’t exist, just point to the RS 6 Avant Performance and ask them to explain this car’s existence, if they possibly can. This <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/">Audi</a> wagon (the company uses the term “Avant” in place of the “wagon” word) is an absolute gift to the automotive world. It’s so nice &#8212; and so tempting to be naughty.
We know many people buy SUVs for the ability to carry stuff as well as people, and they often like a luxury version with substantial power. This car is similar from the standpoint of extra versatility. It’s also comfortable and luxurious. And we would add handsome to its list of qualities. But then it goes big on the kind of driver appeal that SUVs usually can’t provide. The RS 6 Avant Performance covers many bases and masters them all.
The RS 6 is based on the (now outgoing) A6 midsize luxury sedan and has the highest performance of the overall A6 lineup.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/luxury-car/">midsize luxury cars</a>, including the Audi RS 6 Avant Performance.

The BMW is in the same kind of price bracket as this Audi. The Porsche is more expensive.
Before buying a new RS 6 Avant Performance luxury midsize high-performance car, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. We expect resale values to be about average for the class, or perhaps a touch below. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Under the Hood

The RS 6 Avant is propelled by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 making a mighty 621 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. This goes to all four wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission. A mild hybrid system also smoothes out the fuel-saving stop/restart function and maximizes efficiency in general.
The regular <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/a6/">A6</a> sedan and the 444-horsepower <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/s6/">S6</a> sedan each have their own reviews.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Audi’s new-vehicle and powertrain warranties last four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. This is common among European luxury car makers. Audi also includes four years of roadside assistance.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The RS 6 Avant hasn’t been crash-tested by any agencies in the United States, but the A6 (on which the RS 6 Avant is based) has. Earlier A6 model years have been named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>). Last year’s version took top scores of Good in the three updated crash tests carried out by the institute. The A6 also received a maximum five stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>).

The 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross compact SUV boasts a cool design, standard all-wheel drive, and an excellent warranty.

<ul>
<li>Poor resale value</li>
<li>Unimpressive engine</li>
<li>Not very roomy</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is powered by a 152-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and all-wheel drive. Here again, the Eclipse Cross can’t help but trail the competition.
The modest Honda HR-V has more oomph with 158-horsepower, while a turbocharged <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-30/">Mazda CX-30</a> boasts up to 250 hp – nearly 100 more than the humble Eclipse Cross. Even a base Mazda CX-30 easily outperforms the Eclipse Cross with 191 hp, comes standard with all-wheel drive and adaptive cruise control, and has traditionally undercut the Mitsubishi in price.
That said, this Mitsubishi’s little engine delivers satisfying thrust low in the rev range, making it suitable for shorter commutes. Longer treks and hilly terrain prove more challenging. We found the Eclipse Cross one of the slowest SUVs in its class, and its pokey highway performance underwhelmed us.
The Eclipse Cross performs adequately if most of your driving duties are on city streets. The ride is quiet and comfortable, and the standard all-wheel-drive system makes it a good choice for snowy climates.
Fuel Economy
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross&#8217;s combined fuel economy rating is 26 mpg in the base ES trim and 25 mpg in every other trim. This is below average for a compact SUV. For comparison, when equipped with all-wheel drive, the Honda CR-V gets up to 29 mpg, as does the Mazda CX-30. Several hybrid options in this class can get 40 mpg or better.

Sporty Exterior

The exterior design of the Eclipse Cross could be one of its most attractive traits, literally. It boasts dramatic body lines, a stylish light signature, and a coupe-like roofline in the back. Black Edition models bring the required darkened wheels and other elements. If you dig having the Eclipse Cross name emblazoned across the hood, good news: SEL and SEL Touring models get that as standard for 2026.

Exceptional Warranty
Mitsubishi vehicles are backed by an exceptional warranty, and the Eclipse Cross enjoys 5-year/60,000-mile basic coverage and a powertrain backed by a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty.
Super All-Wheel Control 
When comparing prices, keep in mind Mitsubishi’s robust all-wheel-drive system is standard across the Eclipse Cross lineup.
Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 
Both popular phone integration systems are now standard on the base model for 2026.
Panoramic sunroof 
Not every compact SUV offers a panoramic sunroof. On the Eclipse Cross it becomes available at the SE level.
Touring package 
Climb to the very top of the Eclipse Cross range and your view will include a head-up display, heated rear seats, adaptive cruise control, upgraded forward collision mitigation, and an upgraded sound system.

Adequate Interior

The 2-row, 5-passenger cabin of the Eclipse Cross ranges from pretty basic to, well, just fine. Mercifully, the base ES trim gets the 8-inch touchscreen that previously required a step up in trims, and that means this base trim also – finally – gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Still, even that screen is just adequate these days when a less-expensive Hyundai Kona comes standard with a 12.3-inch unit. Also, unlike that Hyundai model and many other rivals, you won’t get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in the Mitsu. So hang on to that cord.
There are some nice touches, though; we like that automatic climate control is standard. Higher trims offer plusher accommodations with leather seats and amenities like a heated steering wheel and a head-up display.
We found getting in and out of the back seats a bit awkward because of the sloping roofline that gives the Eclipse Cross its unique look. Once we were settled, however, the space and comfort were fine. It has an adequate 37.1 inches of rear legroom, but less than some subcompact SUVs like the Chevy Trailblazer, which has 39 inches.
The cargo room of the Eclipse Cross is also just OK. The Eclipse Cross has 23.4 cubic feet of room behind the back seats. Fold down the rear seats and get 50.1 cubic feet of space. We’d be remiss if we didn’t point out that the Hyundai Kona, Kia Seltos, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volkswagen/taos/">Volkswagen Taos</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/trailblazer/">Chevy Trailblazer</a> all have more cargo space, more rear legroom, and lower starting prices than the Eclipse Cross.

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a small SUV that tends to fly under the radar, but it still deserves some attention. It is among the few SUVs in its class to come standard with all-wheel drive, and among the fewer still to include an exceptional warranty. In fact, only its Kia and Hyundai rivals can match Mitsubishi’s coverage, which includes an exceptional 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Defining the Eclipse Cross’ exact class is a little harder: This <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mitsubishi/">Mitsubishi</a> slots somewhere between subcompact and compact SUVs. That pits it in two of the most popular segments and against rivals that outclass the Eclipse Cross in power, efficiency, resale value, and technology.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-compact-suvs/">compact SUVs</a>, including the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.

The 2026 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross starts at $28,990, including the destination fee.

As with its size, the Eclipse Cross’ price also falls between <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-subcompact-suvs/">subcompact</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-compact-suvs/">compact SUVs</a>. It starts higher than subcompact SUVs like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/seltos/2025/">Kia Seltos</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/kona/2026/">Hyundai Kona</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/hr-v/">Honda HR-V</a>, and a bit less than popular compact SUVs like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/cr-v/">Honda CR-V</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/subaru/forester/">Subaru Forester</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sportage/">Kia Sportage</a>. Rivals from both camps – like the smaller <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/corolla-cross/">Toyota Corolla Cross</a> and the slightly larger <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/tucson/">Hyundai Tucson</a> – are close to the starting price of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and have more power and more desirable features, such as adaptive cruise control. As such, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross isn’t an easy SUV to recommend, but if you have your heart set on one, we’d suggest stepping up to at least an SE trim, which adds the aforementioned adaptive cruise control and perks like a hands-free power tailgate and power folding side mirrors.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has among the lowest resale values of all compact SUVs. Remember: Higher resale value means recouping more money when trading in or selling your car.

Engine and Transmission

A 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine powers every Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. With only 152 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, its performance isn’t as sporty as the “Eclipse” name implies. However, it’s adequate for city driving. A CVT and all-wheel drive come standard.
5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is backed by a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. That ties it with Kia and Hyundai for the best warranty in this class.
Safety Ratings
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has earned a 5-Star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>). In testing with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Eclipse Cross receives several Poor ratings. The Eclipse Cross comes standard with automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning.

What's New for 2026

The base ES trim sheds its former 7-inch touchscreen and attains the 8-inch unit of the other trims, which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Gone, however, is the embedded navigation in that larger touchscreen. SEL and SEL Touring models get hood badging of this model’s name.

The 2026 Mercedes-AMG S-Class is a flagship luxury sedan with a super-powerful hybrid drivetrain and handling abilities to match.

<ul>
<li>Unimpressively small trunk</li>
</ul>

Thanks to a turbocharged V8 engine and a muscular electric motor, the AMG S 63 E Performance creates a remarkable total of 791 hp with a planet-wobbling 1,055 lb-ft of torque. This enables it to dash from standstill to 60 mph in a mere 3.3 seconds. That’s phenomenally fast for a large luxury sedan weighing nearly three tons. To compare, the slightly lighter Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid generates 771 hp and 737 lb-ft of torque and hits 60 mph in a claimed 2.8 seconds. We don’t think those few tenths are going to matter much in real-world driving, as both will feel wildly quick.
The hybrid battery employs an ingenious cooling system to keep it at its optimum working temperature. Using technology from Formula One racing (Mercedes-AMG is one of the most successful teams), this battery has been formulated to deliver its energy on demand. This car is a plug-in hybrid, although it uses electric power more for performance than frugality.
The rest of the S 63 E Performance is, of course, fabulous. Going from Comfort mode to Sport or Sport Plus turns the car from a pussycat to a puma. Well, a puma endowed with superpowers. We liked the feel of the steering — not numb. And we were unsurprised to find out that the brakes are easily up to the task of bringing this force of nature to a halt.
Standard equipment includes AMG Ride Control air suspension and AMG Active Control. The latter reins in body roll when taking fast corners. The car remains uncannily flat. This system also combats squat and dive under acceleration and braking. Another standard feature is rear-wheel steering, enhancing agility at higher speeds and maneuverability in tight situations like parking garages. It makes the car respond as if it were at least one size category smaller. Because this is an S-Class, the ride quality remains smooth, while the cabin retains a Zen-like tranquility.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
Plug-in hybrids can run some distance using battery power alone. The AMG S E Performance is estimated to travel for up to 16 miles in this way. That’s not especially far, yet it could be useful for city driving.
The AMG S 63 E Performance also achieves the equivalent of 49 mpg (MPGe) in combined city/highway driving. The irony is that anyone who can afford this wonderful S-Class can also afford the gas. But they’ll probably feel better about the lower emissions.
For reference, the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid returns similar combined fuel economy while traveling up to 30 miles in electric-only mode.

The AMG treatment is mostly subtle. That usually includes quad exhaust pipes (they’re here, trapezoid-shaped), plus vertical grille slats — which make it onto the S-Class for the first time with this AMG S 63 E Performance. The front air intakes are also larger than the regular S-Class.
Along with the new Moonlight White Magno paint choice, there are more than 50 other Manufaktur finishes.

Burmester surround-sound system with Dolby Atmos 
One of our favorite automotive audio setups comes standard in the 2026 S 63 E Performance, with 710 watts going through 15 speakers. The clarity and detail of Dolby Atmos enhance an already wonderfully immersive listening experience.
Brake energy recuperation 
There are varying levels, allowing the driver to slow down or speed up just by lifting off or pressing the accelerator pedal.
Driving modes 
Perhaps it’s because we watch Formula One racing and see those cool steering wheels with all the controls, but we like switching between driving modes using the button on the steering wheel of the S 63 E Performance.
Augmented reality 
This AMG S-Class model&#8217;s standard feature superimposes arrows and street numbers on the navigation screen and head-up display. We think technology like this helps make the S-Class one of the finest vehicles of its kind.
Active Parking Assist 
This self-parking system is also standard. In a car this size, and one you really don’t want to dent, we think it’s a welcome feature.
Active Engine Mounts 
The AMG S 63 E Performance is the only 2026 S-Class to have these. They’re computer-controlled, using magnetorheological fluid that can stiffen to provide high-speed precision, or become more flowing for a refined ride in normal conditions.

Plush Interior

Technological innovations arrive whenever Mercedes-Benz thinks they’re ready. Still, there’s one thing we can always expect from an S-Class: a plush and spacious cabin full of fine materials, clever details, and superb craftsmanship. This AMG variant comes with luxurious Nappa leather as standard, multicontour front and rear seats, and a flat-bottomed AMG steering wheel. Despite having three seat belts in the back, this is essentially a 4-seater, creating optimum space for two rear passengers.
Our main gripe with any current S-Class is the tiny trunk. This one measures 10.7 cubic feet, smaller than the compact C-Class sedan’s.

Mercedes-Benz is renowned for many things, two of which are supreme luxury and the company’s high-performance AMG cars. In the S 63 E Performance, both attributes combine, reaching lofty heights as they do so.
Developing 791 horsepower using a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, creating a chassis to handle such kinetic forces, and then making the car a luxury conveyance shows how profoundly skilled the engineers at <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/">Mercedes-Benz</a> are. This sleeper sedan is a high point of the company’s expertise. It’s not cheap, but fantastic cars never are.

The 2026 Mercedes-AMG S-Class has a starting sticker price of $190,950.

The main rival is the range-topping <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/panamera/">Porsche Panamera</a> Turbo S E-Hybrid, which starts appreciably higher than this S-Class model. Before buying a new AMG S-Class luxury sedan, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Resale values may not matter much, although we expect them to be at least average for the high-end luxury class. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Following the AMG tradition of handcrafted engines, the S 63 E Performance houses one such turbocharged 4.0-liter V8. It joins an electric motor driving the rear axle. Together, they make 791 hp and 1,055 lb-ft of torque. An AMG-tuned 9-speed automatic transmission handles shifting duties, and all-wheel drive is standard.
We review the regular 2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/s-class/">S-Class</a>, the ultra-luxurious 2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-maybach-s-class/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mercedes-Maybach S-Class</a>, and the all-electric <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-eq-eqs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mercedes-Benz EQS</a> large luxury sedan separately.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The new-vehicle warranty Mercedes-Benz offers lasts four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. It applies to the drivetrain, as well. Most European luxury car companies have these same terms. Plug-in hybrid batteries are covered for six years or 60,000 miles in some states, 10 years or 150,000 miles in others. Mercedes-Benz doesn’t offer any free scheduled maintenance.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The S-Class hasn’t been crash-tested by any independent agencies. That’s common for such high-end vehicles, but it shouldn’t be a deal breaker. Mercedes-Benz packs its flagship sedan with comprehensive and often innovative standard safety features, such as the special windshield wiper system that doesn’t mess up vision with indiscriminate splashing all over the glass.

The only notable change is a fresh paint color from the Manufaktur personalization program: Moonlight White Magno (not mango).
This AMG S-Class model debuted late 2024.

The Chevrolet Suburban is one of the oldest and most trusted names in SUVs, and it upholds its reputation as a capable family hauler.

<ul>
<li>V8s are inefficient</li>
<li>Rivals can tow more</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Chevrolet Suburban is powered by a 5.3-liter 355-horsepower V8 engine matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive (RWD) or 4-wheel drive (4WD). This aging engine isn’t as powerful as the turbo 6-cylinder engines in its Ford and Jeep rivals, but it still has plenty of thrust, and it’s adequate for daily family-hauling duties.
Drivers seeking more muscle for towing regularly or just because they want more oomph will be interested in the bigger 6.2-liter V8 producing 420 hp or the Duramax turbodiesel 6-cylinder pumping out 305 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque. We know most of you will go for a V8, but we’re partial to the diesel, which has both the highest torque rating and best fuel economy in the Suburban’s engine lineup. <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/">Chevy</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/">GMC</a> are the only brands that offer a diesel in this class.
One of the reasons families love the Chevy Suburban is its ride quality on long highway trips. The long wheelbase and compliant suspension (especially with the optional Magnetic Ride Control system) create a truly premium feel for the driver and passengers alike. The available Super Cruise hands-free highway driving system makes the Suburban an even better road tripper.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The standard V8 in the Suburban returns 15 city/20 highway/17 combined mpg. The bigger 6.2-liter V8 is almost equally efficient, but requires premium gas, yielding much higher fuel cost estimates. Meanwhile, the only diesel in this class gives the Suburban up to 21 city/26 highway/23 combined mpg. That’s a better fuel economy rating than the hybrid <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/sequoia/">Toyota Sequoia</a>.
The turbocharged 6-cylinder engines in the Ford Expedition and Jeep Wagoneer L are both more efficient than the V8s in the Suburban, and the Ford and Jeep don’t require premium fuel.

Plus-Size Exterior

This SUV&#8217;s wide, open cabin means its exterior girth is best suited to wide, open spaces, not tight little city streets. The Suburban is 15 inches longer overall than the Tahoe, making it 18.8 feet long. It’s a good thing that front and rear parking sensors are fitted as standard. Chevrolet performed some minor surgery on the exterior design for 2025. It was freshened up at the front end a little, which was all it needed.

Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 
We always appreciate the ability to integrate a phone into a vehicle’s infotainment system. Especially when it’s wireless, so we don’t have to dig that phone out of a pocket or purse.
Infotainment touchscreen 
Every new Suburban comes standard with a high-resolution 17.7-inch display. That’s big and really lends a more tech-rich feel to the cabin. We’re also fans of the easy-to-use infotainment system.
Hands-free tailgate 
It is one of those convenience features that gets used a lot. It’s standard in all Suburban trims except for the base LS.
Super Cruise 
With this optional superpower, you can drive on more than <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/gms-super-cruise-now-covers-750000-miles-of-roads/">750,000 miles of North American highway</a> with your hands off the wheel and feet off the pedals (but eyes on the road).
9-seater 
This might seem like a little thing, but we love that the Chevy Suburban is the only full-size SUV that still offers a 9-seat configuration with three seats across all three rows. That’s more seating capacity than a minivan.
Trailering technology 
Features like Boat Ramp Assist and Trailer Navigation — which calculates the ideal route while considering the trailer’s size — make towing much more manageable.

Massive Interior

Space is probably important to you if you’re shopping for a long-wheelbase, full-size SUV, so let’s start there. The Chevy Suburban boasts 36.7 inches of third-row legroom, which is plenty of space for adults and about three extra inches compared to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/tahoe/">Chevy Tahoe</a>.
Second- and third-row legroom in the Suburban are about the same as the Ford Expedition Max and Jeep Wagoneer L, but cargo space is a strength for the Chevy. The ‘Burban has 41.5 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row (more than the Ford, slightly less than the Jeep) and class-leading maximum cargo capacity of 144.5 cubic feet.
But we don’t just love the Suburban’s interior for its hugeness. It’s also full of modern and user-friendly technology. Last year’s refresh brought a big update to the screens, namely a standard 17.7-inch central infotainment screen and an 11-inch digital gauge cluster. We like this setup for being both high-tech and user-friendly. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard, and a few desirable interior options include Bose audio, a power sliding center console, a head-up display, and a rear camera mirror. Another nice touch: All but the base LS trim have standard leather seats.

There’s something reassuring about the fact that the Chevrolet Suburban is the longest-running nameplate in the history of cars. Chevy’s biggest SUV has come a long way since its 1935 debut. It retains its well-earned credentials as a family barge that can haul many people and lots of stuff while towing a boat without skipping a beat. Its brawny engine lineup includes two V8s and a diesel 6-cylinder, and it offers the latest tech like the outstanding Super Cruise hands-free driving system. If your family needs one rig that can do it all, the Chevy Suburban’s versatility is hard to beat.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-full-size-suvs/">full-size SUVs</a>, including the Chevrolet Suburban.

The Suburban really only has two direct rivals in a small class of extended-wheelbase full-size SUVs. It’s priced about the same as the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/wagoneer-l/">Jeep Wagoneer L</a>, and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ford/expedition-max/">Ford Expedition Max</a> is more expensive. There’s also the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/yukon-xl/">GMC Yukon XL</a>, the mechanical twin of the Suburban, which is a bit fancier and pricier.
Before buying a Suburban, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Chevrolet Suburban resale value is average for the segment, near the Expedition Max and beating the Wagoneer L. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.
