Compact Commuters

Your time spent on I-40 deserves to be comfortable, safe, and efficient, and if you're traveling in the wrong type of vehicle, the quality of your commute could be in jeopardy. You want to be able to zip through traffic easily while also enjoying incredible fuel economy ratings and a comfortable cabin experience if and when you get stuck in traffic. This leads many Raleigh travelers to subcompact and compact SUVs, and we have a few in mind that you'll want to explore...

Honda HR-V

Don't let its small size fool you: the 2025 Honda HR-V is ready to offer you the space and ride quality you require as you make your way past the North Carolina Museum of Art. Not only is it exceptionally practical and accommodating, but the HR-V is great on gas and easy to whip in and out of packed city streets. Honda models are known to be extremely reliable as well, so if you're in the market for a subcompact SUV that won't let you down, you'll want to check out the HR-V.

Toyota RAV4

You may need a bit more space in your everyday traveler, which makes the compact RAV4 an excellent choice. Its athletic styling captures your attention in an instant, while its fuel-efficient engine helps you maximize fuel economy during your hectic rush hour commute. You'll also find that 2025 models offer some of the most advanced tech in the industry, including state-of-the-art safety features to make your time heading to work a safer experience. Like Honda, Toyota is known for its reliability and value, making its models some of the best on the scene.

Chevy Equinox

The Equinox is another solid compact pick known for its affordability, versatility, and comfort. It's a looker inside and out, and when it comes to accommodating your needs on Route 401, it does this effortlessly, with a spirited powertrain, exceptional efficiency, and plenty of space inside for you and all your gear. You'll find that 2025 models showcase an array of design enhancements, including a new dashboard design, new digital displays, and, on the outside, a more daring appearance.

Midsize Favorites

Raleigh drivers who need more space than subcompact and compact SUVs offer are often drawn to the midsize segment. These vehicles are easy to handle yet include a bit more room for your passengers and gear. When it comes to exceeding your expectations, we have a few models in mind that will do just that...

Kia Telluride

Not only is it strikingly stylish, but the Telluride is impressively spacious, with three rows and loads of legroom for you and your guests to get comfortable on board. You'll even find that its third row is suitable for adult-sized passengers, which can't be said for many others in its segment. It's also a bit more sophisticated than other midsize SUVs and without the hefty sticker price, which makes it a top choice for Wake County drivers with high expectations for how they travel.

A host of trims are available, making it easy to create the experience you demand as you make your way through the Research Triangle. Plus, with a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, in-dash navigation, and on-board Wi-Fi, having access to all the things you need while in transit is easier than ever when the Telluride is in charge of your journey.

GMC Acadia

Another midsize model that offers outstanding space across three rows—as well as an iconic style that places it ahead of most of its competitors—is the Acadia. This showstopping model boasts contemporary features inside and out, with a large cargo hold that can accommodate virtually anything traveling with you.

New for 2025, you'll be able to take advantage of enhanced trailering capabilities on every trim, allowing you to tow your camper or trailer out into nature with the latest tech leading the way. If you're in the market for a more upscale vehicle to take you around Raleigh, a GMC Acadia will offer you the experience you desire.

Full-Size Haulers

Many families call Raleigh home, and when it comes to handling your pack and all that accompanies them on the road, you'll need a vehicle built just for this. Fortunately, our dealerships showcase outstanding models that offer the space and safety features you require, especially when you're hauling the kiddos to all the places they need to go...

Chevy Suburban

There might not be a better-suited family vehicle than the Suburban, known for its cavernous interior, legendary capabilities, and arsenal of features designed with families in mind. From top-of-the-line safety features to rear-seat entertainment systems, the 2025 Suburban offers it all to busy families on the go.

Perhaps what makes the Suburban so popular, besides the space it offers, is the fact that it handles exceptionally well despite its large size. For 2025, you can expect a few enhancements, including better handling and performance, the Super Cruise hands-free driving tool available in more trims, and greater power output in its available diesel powertrain.

GMC Yukon

Those who want a more elegant feel in their full-size SUV will be drawn to the GMC Yukon. It's not only highly accommodating, but it's also lavishly luxurious, especially when you opt for the Denali trims. Models for 2025 have styling refreshes, like a redesigned front fascia and new lighting elements, as well as new 24-inch wheel designs available.

There's also a new off-road-ready AT4 Ultimate trim in the lineup to intensify your adventure while simultaneously wrapping you in luxury.
