Top 10 SUVs and Crossovers for Tall Drivers for 2013

SUVs and crossovers are generally known for offering abundant cargo capacity. Given that there are many models in this segment with roomy cabins, these vehicles are also great choices for taller drivers seeking accommodating transportation.

Tall drivers care about front-passenger room. This measurement tells them exactly how much spaciousness they can expect while perched in a vehicle's driver seat. The 10 models listed below offer the most front-passenger room in the crossover/SUV segment.

While our list includes luxury models like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and Cadillac Escalade, it's dominated by more affordable full-size models such as the Nissan Armada, Toyota Sequoia, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Expedition. We ranked each vehicle based on an average of headroom, hiproom and legroom, and all measurements shown are in inches.

Numbers can tell an incomplete story, however, so be sure to test-drive the models you're considering to see how their dimensions suit your physique. Also, if you're a taller driver, consider skipping the sunroof, since it can lop precious inches off headroom.
