SUVs are the perfect family vehicle for three reasons: increased passenger capacity, sportier performance features, and improved towing capabilities. They are built for the long haul and offer you a smooth and safe ride while comfortably seating up to 8 passengers. And there is still enough room for cargo at the back in some of the more premium variants. From the budget-friendly to premium brands, here are the top three best SUVs for family vacations that you can consider buying this year.

Kia Telluride

(for the base variant), you get a stunning 8-passenger SUV built for the long haul. Its massive 3.8L 291HP V6 engine churns out enough torque to tow up to 5,000 pounds so you can hook up your camper van, set the GPS, and ride off toward the sunset for a weekend of outdoor fun. The interior is furnished with high-end leather and equipped with the best of smart car technology.

Hyundai Palisade
Looking for a more stylish SUV that looks pretty but works like a beast?
