What Should You Look for in a Family SUV?
The best family SUV depends on how you plan to use it. Before choosing a model, consider several important factors.Passenger Space
If you regularly drive with children, relatives or friends, comfortable seating can make a significant difference. A two-row SUV may be ideal for a smaller family, while a three-row SUV can provide additional flexibility when you need more passenger capacity.Cargo Space
Families tend to carry a lot of things. Strollers, sports equipment, groceries, luggage, backpacks and other everyday items can quickly fill a vehicle.Look for an SUV with enough cargo capacity for your normal routine, as well as flexible seating when you need additional room.

Which Family SUV Is Right for You?
There isn't one perfect SUV for every family.Consider the Buick Envision if you want a comfortable SUV for everyday driving and don't need three rows.
Consider the Buick Enclave if passenger space, comfort and three-row flexibility are priorities.
Consider the GMC Acadia if you want a versatile three-row SUV with GMC capability and technology.
Consider the GMC Yukon if you need maximum passenger space, cargo room and full-size SUV capability.
