Best Diesel SUVs of 2025 and 2026

One of these things is not like the others. Besides being produced by a company other than General Motors, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter isn’t an SUV, at least not in the classic sense. It is available with all-wheel drive, though, and plenty of people outfit them for all kinds of travels, so we figured it wouldn’t hurt to mention the boxy Benz. Power comes from a four-cylinder turbodiesel offered in two states of tune: 170 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, or 211 horses and 332 lb-ft. Configurations are nearly endless, and a variety of upfitters will take the Sprinter 4×4 to the next level, whether that be for overlanding or serious work. You won’t see any fuel economy ratings because the Sprinter falls into a weight category that doesn’t require testing.

Starting MSRP with diesel engine: $60,500
Diesel fuel economy: N/A
Towing capacity: 7,500 pounds
