2023 AAA Car Guide sneak peek for March
AAA's researchers are busy putting together the 2023 AAA Car Guide. In this month's sneak peek, we look at 3 new large SUVs and how they stack up.
For more than 10 years, the Automobile Club of Southern California’s Automotive Research Center (ARC) has reviewed and tested vehicles in its annual car guide to help members understand the latest automotive technology and help them purchase vehicles that best suit their needs.
The 2022 AAA Car Guide is the newest issue, testing and ranking cars and light trucks with the latest advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) technology. In addition to vehicle evaluation, it covers several automotive topics in detail—for example, the latest advanced safety features, the importance of vehicle maintenance, and upcoming trends and new models you may see in the coming years.
The 2021 Mercedes-Benz S 580 is the current winner of the Large category.

Featured vehicles are ranked from highest to lowest based on:
Each vehicle receives an overall score from 1-10 for each characteristic and is evaluated relative only to the other vehicles in the AAA Car Guide, not to all vehicles available on the market. Each vehicle’s review provides a summary of the car and lists its strengths, weaknesses, and available safety features.
See how the cars rank
On the AAA Car Guide website, you can see the ratings for specific vehicles that the ARC has evaluated. You can search by vehicle type (e.g. midsize), fuel type (e.g. hybrid), and price range.
