If you like the QX80, consider saving a bundle with the nearly identical Nissan Armada.
The freshly redesigned Cadillac Escalade now sets the pace for big truck-based SUVs, though the Lincoln Navigator is still a solid choice.
The Escalade’s slightly less-tony GMC Yukon sibling almost feels like a good value, too.
Our favorite big SUV is the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class, though you’ll pay considerably for the privilege.
