Large crossover SUVs are as roomy as minivans and station wagons, maybe more, and they are a good upgrade for you if you like to change to a flashy, statement-making vehicle from your ho-hum minivan, for example. You get car-like drive quality in a larger, spoty, all-terrain shape. 

For an extra $1500-2500 cost, you can get all wheel drive (AWD) to negotiate dirt roads, light mud, and hard-packed gravel, sand etc, but crossover SUVs are not meant to be true off-roaders, despite the adversisements. They are statements.

The best large crossover SUV:  Honda Pilot EX with Honda Sensing (its advanced safety features should alone be enough for you to choose)

The second best large crossover SUV:  Nissan Pathfinder SV (good cargo space)

The best smallish large crossover SUV:  Kia Sorento EX V6 with Premium Package (lots of feature, less roomy than others in its class)

The best macho looking large crossover SUV:  Dodge Durango SXT+ with popular equipment package and uConnect upgrade ( best multimedia system, highest tow rating, expensive)
