Big SUVs are every man's dream. For a number of reasons, at least once in your life you have to travel through an area where there are simply no roads, and then you immediately involuntarily think about cars with high traffic. However, it is immediately worth noting that SUVs with large dimensions are not very suitable for large cities. For example, driving down a narrow street or finding a parking spot is sometimes impossible. But still, when you look at these monsters, there is no limit to admiration. It is unlikely that at least one motorist will be able to deny himself the pleasure of a ride on it. After all, being behind the wheel of a large SUV, everyone feels like the ruler of the world.

Considering the brands of such machines, you can select the largest copies. Let's get to know them better.

Ford F250 Super Chief

All large SUVs are large. The most outrageous by these criteria is the Ford F250 Super Chief. When you are near the hood, it seems that it has no end. Its length reaches almost 7 meters(6730 mm). For example, if we take the Peugeot 107 for comparison, then the length of the Ford will be twice the length of this model. The width of the car also has immense dimensions. In Europe, this figure is considered prohibitive, but in America 2320 mm is the norm. The height of the car will also amaze with its size. It is 2000 mm. And thanks to a ground clearance of 460 mm, the Ford F250 Super Chief will go through any off-road terrain.

Many drivers, having learned about such dimensions, immediately think about the inefficiency of the car. However, it is worth noting that the car is equipped with a 3-fuel engine. This development was first used on this particular model. The Ford F250 Super Chief runs on hydrogen, gasoline and a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (E85). Consumption per 100 kilometers will be 4.6 kg, 27.4 liters and 19.6 liters, respectively.

Ford Excursion

The Ford Excursion takes pride of place in the list of large SUVs. The characteristics of this model make it possible to call it the longest serial stamp. If you measure the distance from the front to the rear bumper, then it will be almost 6 meters (5760 mm). It is this indicator that allows it to be ahead of all cars in its class. Ford was only slightly behind the Chevrolet Suburban. Its length is less than 140 mm. And if you compare the Toyota Mega Cruiser, then the difference is almost 700 mm. But the height is 40 mm less than that of the Ford F250 (1960 mm). As for the width, it is almost the same (2300 mm). A ground clearance of 185 mm gives the driver confidence while conquering the most unforeseenobstacles on the road.

American SUV can hardly be called economical. It was created on the basis of a pickup truck, but there is no cargo compartment in the Excursion modification. Fuel consumption will depend on the configuration: the minimum figure is 12.5 liters, and the average is 16 liters in combined mode. Surprisingly, this giant shows excellent aerodynamic properties. Power steering makes the car easy to steer.

Toyota Mega Cruiser

This model is considered to be the tallest SUV. Its height exceeds 2070 mm. If compared with the car "Hammer H1", then the difference will be as much as 170 mm. Other brands of overall SUVs are also inferior in height. For example, the Ford F250 is 75 mm smaller, the Ford Excursion is 55 mm smaller. It is also worth paying attention to the size of the ground clearance. In this model, it is 420 mm. But in jeeps it is half as much. In length, the car reaches 5315 mm, in width - 2177 mm. Toyota Mega Cruiser was developed only for military purposes. No more than 150 copies were sold to private individuals.

Chevrolet Suburban

This model also applies to large SUVs. The body of this car is stretched by 5680 mm. Its width also cannot be called small, since it is 2040 mm. The height of the American SUV reaches 1900 mm. Clearance, of course, cannot be compared with the model described above, but you definitely cannot call it small. The distance between the roadway and the chassis is 238 mm. The conjugated mass of the car is 3.3 tons.spaciousness in the cabin can be compared with the modern Chevrolet Tahoe model. Suburban price is about 6.6 million rubles. But his "brother" is somewhat cheaper.

Chevrolet Tahoe 6, 2 AT

In 2015, a new model Tahoe 6, 2 AT was released under the Chevrolet brand. Looking at it, you immediately feel all the power. This car belongs to the premium class. Powerful units are hidden under its hood. Due to its dimensions, it belongs to the series of large SUVs. Its width is quite impressive - 2045 mm. The distance from the rear to the front bumper is 5179 mm. This figure is somewhat inferior to the Suburban model, as well as the height, it is 1890 mm, which is 10 mm less. However, the Chevrolet Tahoe, which ranges from $45,000 to $63,000, is comfortable like a luxury limousine.

Toyota Tundra

Toyota Tundra can be called a real all-terrain vehicle. It impresses not only with its dimensions, but also with a high level of cross-country ability. Complementing this power is a stylish design. These large SUVs are presented in several modifications. It is this diversity that allows you to choose the most suitable option. According to the dimensions of the model, released in 2015, we can say that this SUV may well occupy a leading position. Its length varies from 5814 to 6294 mm. If we compare the cars from our list, then the height indicator is not particularly remarkable. It is 1940 mm. The distance between opposite sides is 2029 mm. Given that ToyotaTundra is equipped with powerful engines, fuel consumption averages 17 liters.

Cadillac Escalade

A prominent representative of large SUVs is the Cadillac Escalade. The characteristics of the model are quite impressive. Equipped with powerful engines, it is one of the fastest in its class. Accelerates quickly, but gently, during the movement the course is smooth. The Cadillac Escalade was produced in two trim levels. Their width is the same, is 1956 mm. But the length and height are different. In the first modification, the length of the body is 5052 mm, and the height is 1943 mm. In the second, the length is 5624 mm, and the distance from the roadway to the roof is 1923 mm. Ground clearance for both options is 205 mm. Given the large dimensions of this model, you will not have to count on economical fuel consumption. She spends an average of 20 liters per 100 kilometers.

Infiniti QX56

The large SUV is the Infiniti QX56. Its characteristics are somewhat different from its predecessor. It must be said that he was truly enormous. But the new model has become even larger. Its length has increased to 5290 mm, and the width - up to 2029 mm. But the same cannot be said about the height. It, on the contrary, decreased to 1920 mm. Infiniti QX56 is equipped with a powerful engine. It is capable of delivering 405 hp. With. In the city, he will eat about 20 liters of fuel, but on the highway this figure will decrease by almost two. In Russia, the QX56 model is offered at a price of 3.6 million rubles. It is worth noting that the luxury Nissan Patriot is almost cheaper thanfor 1.5 million rubles.

Hummer H1

The heaviest SUV is the Hummer H1. Speaking about this model, it is worth noting that it is also the most famous. If we take the most complete modification, then its weight will be more than 4 tons, and the curb weight reaches almost 3 tons. The Hummer H1, like the Toyota Mega Cruiser, is used for military purposes. However, in terms of weight, the second car is 140 kg inferior. What can be said about the dimensions of this jeep? The length of the body in comparison with previous models is small, it is only 4686 mm. But the width deserves attention. It is equal to 2197 mm. This model is ideal for those people who prefer spacious interiors.

When comparing large SUVs, we can say that the height stopped at an average of 1905 mm. But the ground clearance will impress many. It is only 14 mm smaller than in the Toyota Mega Cruiser (406 mm). Of course, the Hammer can hardly be called an economical car. In order to overcome 100 kilometers, he will need from 18 to 23 liters of gasoline.
