Packing your family and a week’s worth of belongs into a SUV is an art usually reserved for one particular person in a household. (You know who you are.) Perhaps then, you want to make their lives a little easier and buy a new SUV that fits all of the luggage and people easily while providing the kind of comfort and convenience factors that make life on the road a little easier.

The models that have made this list are well-rounded enough to make travel easy with features that make life on the road easier, according to AutomotiveMap writers.

Its Phone-As-A Key technology makes getting in and out a breeze.

Eileen Falkenberg-Hull: The 2020 Nissan Rogue is a bit long in the tooth, but it does have two components that are vital on the perfect road trip: ProPilot Assist and Zero Gravity seats.
