Large luxury SUVs offer more room than midsize luxury SUVs on three rows of seating. And like their smaller siblings, do not skimp on amenities. Many of these big SUVs feature rugged body-on-frame construction which lends itself to towing and real off-road capability. Of course, you’ll pay more on the showroom floor and at the fuel pump. But, having the room to haul plenty of passengers and cargo with the bonus of being able to tow a trailer or venture off into the boonies, can make it well worth the expense. Here’s our list of the best full size luxury SUVs for 2020, ranked by Autotrader.
1. 2020 Lincoln Navigator —$77,480
Score: 4.5 / 5
With its standout styling and opulent interior, the 2020 Lincoln Navigator takes its place as America’s most luxurious full-size SUV. Lincoln upped its game considerably with its redesign, so much so, that the Navigator was named the 2019 North American Truck of the Year. Not only do you have plenty of room on three rows, but the interior also matches the best that European luxury makes have to offer.

All-new for 2020, the Mercedes-Benz GLS flagship 3-row luxury SUV has an enviable blend of refinement, capability, technology, and prestige. The GLS is available in 6- and 8-cylinder versions.
