7 Largest 4-Cylinder SUVs of 2026: Massive Space, Surprising Power
A recent ranking reveals the 7 largest 4-cylinder SUVs of 2026, led by the Buick Enclave at 5.27 meters long with a 2.5-liter turbo making 328 hp, starting at $48,395. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L gets its first Hurricane 2.0-liter turbo with 324 hp. The Lexus TX 350 stretches 5.16 meters with a 2.4-liter turbo. The shift reflects the industry's move toward downsized engines without sacrificing family space or performance.
The 2026 Buick Enclave leads the list of the largest 4-cylinder SUVs, measuring 207.6 inches (about 5.27 meters) long, with prices starting at $48,395 for the Preferred trim. Not what anyone expected. A vehicle this size runs on a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine producing 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque, with front-wheel drive and a combined 22 mpg, according to a recent ranking of big family haulers.
Buick Enclave tops the chart
It seats seven and offers up to 97.5 cubic feet of cargo space, with 41.4 inches of second-row legroom and 32.1 inches in the third row. But what does that mean for families? It means more space without a thirsty V8. Enclave breaks the old rule that linked big size to high cylinder counts, proving turbos can close the power gap.
Jeep Grand Cherokee L finally gets a 4-cylinder
For the first time in the 2026 model year, the three-row Jeep Grand Cherokee L gets a turbocharged 4-cylinder, the 2.0-liter Hurricane, making 324 hp and 332 lb-ft. It measures 204.9 inches (about 5.20 meters) long. The gap is real. Never before has this engine entered the Grand Cherokee L, marking a broader industry shift toward downsized engines.
Max cargo space reaches 84.6 cubic feet, seating for six or seven depending on trim. Fuel economy sits at 23 mpg. Prices for 4-cylinder versions start around $48,355. On long highways, this powertrain will be tested with full family loads.
Lexus TX 350: luxury with space
The 2026 Lexus TX 350 stretches 203.2 inches (about 5.16 meters), blending premium design with generous interior room. Uses a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine. Does that suffice for a luxury SUV this large? The answer lies in numbers not fully disclosed yet. Yet the direction is clear: even luxury brands are ditching big engines for turbos and hybrids.
In recent years, automakers have shifted to smaller turbocharged engines, with some models relying on hybrid systems to offset the power gap versus larger motors. The market is moving. The list spans from big American SUVs to premium models, with clear differences in power, price, and interior space. Those wanting a massive family SUV in 2026 no longer have to pay for a V6 or V8.
