The best SUVs with the most comfortable ride from 2012 have a lot to offer buyers. These sport utility vehicles won’t let you down with roomy third rows and extra cargo space in the trunk for whatever the weekend road trip might need. Plus, a 10-year-old vehicle is going to be a budget-friendly option.

Ford’s Flex is one of the best SUVs with the most comfortable ride

When Edmunds listed some of the best SUVs with the most comfortable ride, the 2012 Ford Flex checked all the boxes. The inside is spacious, and the third row has plenty of room.

Lexus’s GX 460 is one of the best SUVs with the most comfortable ride

Let’s face it; the 2012 Lexus GX 460 just looks comfortable. However, this large SUV has a lot more to offer than just comfort. Lexus made this vehicle off-road capable, and the interior is made with plenty of luxury materials. While many off-road SUVs sacrifice comfort for capability, that isn’t the case here. Lexus equipped the GX 460 with the ability to tow 6,500 pounds thanks to its 4.6L V8. This SUV with a comfortable ride also received good scores from the IIHS.

Experts and owners agree that the Toyota Highlander is a good pick

If finding the best SUVs with the most comfortable ride is your goal, the 2012 Toyota Highlander is your solution.

This is a family-friendly SUV that’s also comfortable enough for long trips or whatever else you might need it to do. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave it a four-star safety rating overall.

If you need a little luxury, the Lincoln Navigator has plenty

Edmunds says the 2012 Lincoln Navigator is not just a comfortable SUV. Passengers and drivers will enjoy this sport utility vehicle with a plush ride and an upscale cabin with three rows. The third row folds down with a button, which helps add more cargo space. Lincoln has a lot of luxury competitors in the segment, but not all options can tow 9,000 pounds like this one.

Don’t overlook the GMC Acadia as a comfortable SUV option

The Acadia also has plenty of room for luggage in the cargo area. Testers at Edmunds commented on the pleasant and comfortable driving experience. Even in 2012, the Acadia had tons of safety features. The NHTSA gave this comfortable SUV a five-star safety rating, and the IIHS gave it a Top Safety Pick award.
