Top 10 SUVs and Crossovers with the Most Front-Passenger Room for 2012

When people choose crossovers and SUVs, they often do so for the increased cargo capacity that vehicles in this segment can bring. However, there are choices in this category that offer spaciousness not just for luggage, but for passengers as well.

If you're a driver who is taller and/or wider than average, front-passenger room is likely a primary concern. The 10 models listed below offer the most front-passenger room in the crossover/SUV segment. We ranked each vehicle based on an average of head-, hip- and legroom, and all measurements shown are in inches.

Numbers tell only a partial story, so be sure to get some seat time in the vehicles you're considering to see how their dimensions fit with your physique. Also, if you're a taller driver, consider skipping the sunroof, since it can lop precious inches off headroom.
