The Most Comfortable Chevrolet SUVs to Take on a Long Road Trip

It’s summer! The kids are home from school, and you’ve got vacation time waiting to be spent.  You know what that means…it’s road trip season! 

The first rule of taking a road trip is to make sure everyone inside is comfortable for the trip to your destination. Whether it is Disney World or Cedar Point, everyone on board your vehicle should be kept cool, have places to store their drinks or their devices, and be able to simply relax. Their comfort is very important to you as you travel over every mile.  

What kind of vehicle works for these long road trips? According to the Top Speed website, it’s an SUV. Out of their list of ten, only one stands out above the rest – the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban. Our largest SUV is the most spacious and accommodating vehicle we offer. This is a vehicle that has stayed true to its mission for 90-plus years.  

With a seating capacity of up to eight, passengers are provided with expansive room and conveniences. They will find USB ports and cup holders across all three rows, ensuring their devices stay charged and they stay hydrated on the long drive. Child seats are also secure across the second and third rows.  

If you’re carrying up to eight passengers, you’ll have plenty of stuff to bring with you on your trip. With everyone on board, you have 41.5 cubic feet of space to fill up with luggage. If it’s just the two of you, there is up to 144.5 cubic feet to bring that something special to your destination.  

Making the drive easier is a choice of three engine choices. The available Duramax turbocharged diesel offers the best fuel economy and range, up to 728 miles of highway driving alone. You can also add more comfort to your ride with the Adaptive Air Ride suspension and Magnetic Ride Control, making your trip feel like an airliner. To ease your fatigue on getting there, adding the available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology can let you relax over many compatible miles on major highways across the country. 

The 17.7-inch center touchscreen display is the hub for making life easier. It houses everything from various camera views around your vehicle and the trailer you are towing, to the apps that are part of Google Built-in, including YouTube and streaming services for your passengers.  

If you put these features together, you have one of the best road-trip vehicles around. Even the Top Speed editors agree. They said that “one of the main reasons American consumers love their…Suburbans is due to the amount of cargo space they offer while still allowing them to carry the family.”
