An SUV is a roomy and impressive car that is not afraid of obstacles in its path.. At the same time, size is one of the most important characteristics for cars of this class, because the larger, the more impressive such a car will look. Now there is quite a large selection of cars from this segment, so finding the largest SUV is not so easy.
There are also many cars that are distinguished by their huge dimensions, but they are made exclusively to order (or even at all, they remained prototypes). We compiled our ranking of the largest jeeps based only on models available in mass production . This will be more objective, since such a list allows you to most accurately assess the capabilities of most modern SUVs, and not exclusive cars that only a few own.
Pros and cons of plus sizes
Before discussing large SUVs, it is also worth discussing why there is so much fuss about these vehicles. First of all, the car with its impressive dimensions looks very impressive, and you can notice it from afar.
In addition, many drivers are afraid of not only colliding with, even driving next to an SUV.
Finally, the interior of such a car is very spacious, comfortable and safe. At the same time, such cars also have some disadvantages. First of all, this has to do with:
- low maneuverability;
- high fuel consumption;
- high price (such cars, as a rule, belong to the more expensive segment of vehicles);
- lack of opportunity to park anywhere (standard parking is not always enough for a jeep).
On the other hand, despite all these disadvantages, large SUVs are an indicator of status, prosperity and a good sense of taste. So the demand for them will always be consistently high. Now we will discuss the most popular models available to our car enthusiasts.

Toyota Mega Cruiser
In the first position is a Japanese-made car – Toyota Mega Cruiser. Previously, it was difficult to find such a car on the roads.
The main goals of its production: • patrolling difficult sections of roads; • transportation of the wounded; • movement of small artillery.

American large SUVs
American SUVs are distinguished by their enormous size, Americans have such a passion for big things, this applies not only to cars. That's why the largest SUVs in the world are made in the States, and it's all thanks to this passion.
Now we will look at large American SUVs, which are mass-produced and available to everyone who has a certain amount of money. We'll talk about rare, one-off SUV models in another article, but now let's start with one of the most famous American automobile companies.
Large Ford cars
Ford is considered one of the most significant examples that fully demonstrate the American automotive spirit. Ford SUVs are considered one of the largest in the world. Basically, they drive around America, but here you can also find cars such as Ford Duty or Ford Super Duty.
These cars look very impressive in real life, but still, there are bigger cars. There is such an SUV that is considered the largest car of the Ford brand - this is the famous Ford Excursion, it was produced on a serial scale from 2000 to 2005.
The dimensions of this car are serious: the length is 5.76 m, the height is 1.97, and the width is 2.03 m. At the same time, this big guy weighs about 4.5 tons. Everything is clear here - this is a car for a big man, whose entire family is also big and, most likely, has a big dog like a St. Bernard.
The Ford Excursion is a body-on-frame SUV, the same frame used in the Ford F-Series. In addition, the Excursion has optics, steering, and suspension, the same as in the Ford F-series. But in general, as eyewitnesses say, this car looks more like a mini-truck than just a jeep.
When you drive this beast, you notice how many motorists and passers-by stare at you, because this is a huge jeep, it’s hard not to notice and not pay attention to it.
If desired, this SUV can be bought in our country; there are probably still some models left, since earlier, several years ago, the Ford Excursion was sold in Russia by an official Ford dealer.
As for power, there can be 2 engine options under the hood: an 8-cylinder engine with a power of 250 horsepower, as well as a 10-cylinder engine with a power of 325 horsepower. With. In a word, a powerful car, in addition, the Ford Excursion is the largest SUV in the world, among mass-produced cars, of course.
The notorious Ford F-250 is not as big as the Ford Excursion, but also deserves attention; it is considered a huge pickup truck with a length of 5.71 m, a width of 2.03 m, a height of 2.09 m. But under the hood there is a huge 6.8 -liter engine. In order for this engine to work long enough, the gas tank in this car is large - its volume is 140 liters. The 2021 Ford Ranger also has about the same performance as the F-Series Fords.
In Russia we also have similar sizes, for example, GAZ-51 and GAZ-53, but of course they are far from the Americans, but still, GAZs perform well off-road.
Of course, the Large SUVs that come from America don’t end with these models, the list goes on:
- Chevrolet Suburban;
- Chevrolet Silverado;
- Hummer H1 and so on, America has clearly succeeded in this topic.
But let's not stop only at large jeeps from the USA, let's move on to huge SUVs from other countries.
Toyota Tundra
This model is the largest pickup truck from the manufacturer. Its length is five and a half meters, which simply cannot fail to impress. The car is pleased with such qualities as:
- spacious luggage compartment;
- spacious interior;
- reliable power units;
- increased cross-country ability.
This vehicle will feel great on any road surface, easily overcoming all kinds of obstacles. At the same time, driving such an SUV around the city is simply pointless. The manufacturer offers several types of power units and cargo areas to choose from, so you can choose the best option for yourself.
Chevrolet Tahoe
When ranking the largest jeeps, one cannot ignore the Chevrolet brand. The impressive dimensions of this model simply oblige us to mention it in our rating. The appearance of this car strongly resembles a premium limousine. At the same time, the technical parameters and maneuverability here are an order of magnitude higher. The ride height reaches 23.1 cm.
As a result, the car can easily go where other cars cannot go. The body length is almost 5.2 meters. At the same time, this giant is considered a relatively economical crossover (it takes only 13 liters in the combined cycle, which is very little for an all-wheel drive SUV of this size). The curb weight of the car reaches 2.5 tons.
At the same time, the inside of the cabin is very convenient and comfortable. Passengers and the driver have a lot of free space, the seats are comfortable and soft, and the suspension absorbs all the bumps.
Japanese SUVs
Japanese automobile production is not far behind American manufacturers, who are considered leaders in the creation of large SUVs.
If we compare Japanese and American large SUVs, the main differences are considered to be the presence of sharpness, roughness, and brutality in American SUVs, while Japanese ones have a more elegant and stylish appearance. So, many models of Japanese SUVs can be safely classified as luxury class.
The Toyota Mega Cruiser and Infiniti QX56 are examples of large Japanese SUVs. The largest Japanese SUV is considered the Toyota Mega Cruiser, which was created as the main competitor to the Hummer. The Mega Cruiser was also intended for the military, and therefore you rarely see it anywhere.
The dimensions of this jeep are slightly smaller than those of Ford: the length is 5.1 m, the width is 2.2 m, and the height is 2.1 m. The power unit in the Mega Cruiser is also simpler: the volume is 4.1 liters , and the volume of the gas tank is 108 liters.
This large SUV in the civilian version contains parts from several models at once: the steering wheel is from the Toyota Karina, and the ceiling lamp is from the Corolla.
What is characteristic of the Mega Cruiser is that it does not have 37-inch wheels. Of course, it is difficult to find such disks, but they can be made to order, today this is not a problem.
In a word, the Toyota Mega Cruiser cannot be considered the largest SUV in the world, but it can safely be called the largest SUV of the Toyota brand.
But there is also a very impressive and beautiful Japanese SUV Infiniti QX56, it may not be bigger than those we mentioned earlier, but it has something interesting.
The dimensions of this machine are also very impressive: length = 5.3 m, width = 2.03 m, height = 1.92 m.
Infiniti's technical characteristics are simply excellent: a powerful engine with 405 horsepower, a 7-speed automatic transmission, frame construction, several different all-wheel drive modes. The weight of this huge SUV, surprisingly, is 2.5 tons.
Most importantly, the Infiniti QX56 sells well and enjoys good popularity, all thanks to its remarkable power, relatively modest fuel consumption, excellent acceleration dynamics from 0 to 100 km/h and pleasant appearance.
Here's an interesting test drive about Infinity:
Mercedes GL
It is difficult to imagine a rating in which there would not be a place for models from the Mercedes brand. The German brand makes high-quality and reliable cars. Huge jeeps are no exception here. The large and powerful vehicle is perfect for off-road driving. Under the hood of this giant hides a 388-horsepower engine.
At the same time, in the cabin you will find a large selection of modern equipment and additional options that make driving in a car much more comfortable, safer and easier. The clearance here reaches 30.7 centimeters, the length is almost 5.1 m.
