The largest known crater on the planet is the Vredefort Crater in the Free State Province, South Africa. It is a couple hundred kilometres across and is one of the only large meteorite impact craters that one can see exceptional detail into the geological composition of craters. The crater has a diameter of roughly 250 - 300 km.

But it is important to note that there is a chance that there is a larger one in Antarctica as scientific research there suggest a 'possible' one, but studies have not confirmed this yet.

Is the south pole-aitken basin the largest and deepest depression found thus far in the solar system?

South Pole Aitken Basin (diameter 2500km) is not the largest known impact crater. That distinction lies with Utopia Planitia Basin (3500km) on Mars. However, SPA is the deepest known impact basin in the Solar System at 13 kilometers. If proven, the hypothesized Borealis basin, on Mars, would be the largest impact basis, at more than 10000 km in diameter.
