Awesome Suv

Awesome Woodcraft builds some amazing miniature wood vehicles. In this video, they take on the biggest SUV they could think of, the boxy, gas-guzzling Hummer H1. The detailed model includes wheels that turn and steer, a spring suspension, and a hinged hood and doors.

The production Grand Wagoneer is impressively close to the concept. The big 3-row SUV is the pinnacle of luxury for the Jeep brand. Powered by a 6.4L V8 making 471 hp, it features Nappa or Palermo leather seating, real wood and aluminum trim, air suspension, a 19- or 23-speaker McIntosh audio system, and tech for days.

The GLS 600 sits at the apex of SUV luxury. Its V8 biturbo engine and 48-volt system can launch it from 0-to-60 mph in 4.8 sec., while its passengers enjoy a refined ride. Creature comforts include Burmester audio, heated and ventilated Nappa leather seats, a cabin fragrance system, and even climate-controlled cupholders.

Off-road experts Legacy Overland started with a German Army 1990 Mercedes-Benz G250D, restoring it with a full mechanical rebuild, and modernizing it with Bilstein shocks, a military-style snorkel, LED lighting, a custom leather interior, air conditioning, and more. The custom Boxwood Green paint brings it all together.

The ultimate incarnation of the iconic AM General Hummer H1. The satin-kevlar coated custom truck packs a 500 hp Duramax turbo-diesel engine that makes 1000 lb-ft. of torque, rugged off-road gear, and a completely bespoke interior that blends utility and luxury.

A very special way to wrap up the last-gen Land Rover Defender, this model packs a 400 hp 5.0L V8 engine, an 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox, Recaro leather seats, and does 0-to-60 in 5.6 sec. Limited to just 150 vehicles, and sadly none of them are headed to the US.

We recently hit the road from Palm Springs to test drive Land Rover’s new mid-size SUV. We were duly impressed with the styling, handling, and comfort of the Velar, which offers a smooth ride, slick new tech, off-road capabilities, and much more. Read our full review on 95octane.

An extremely special variant of the already awesome Land Rover Discovery, the SVX has even better ground clearance, approach, departure, and breakover angles, off-road tires, a specially-tuned terrain management system, and a 517 hp supercharged V8 engine.

Bollinger Motors‘ first production vehicle is a beast of a machine – an off-road capable electric SUV. Its ground clearance is adjustable from 10″ to 20″, it can ford up to 3.3 ft of water for 30 min, has great cargo capacity, and converts from a full cab to a half cab.

Jaguar’s new compact SUV made quite the debut, setting a record for the longest ever barrel roll in a production vehicle. It borrows heavily from the excellent F-PACE, with sporty good looks, premium materials, AWD, and up to 296 hp for a 0-60 mph time of 5.9 seconds.

Currently available in Europe as the G500 4×4², this beastly off-roader is heading to the US in 2017. The $200K+ SUV has 17.2″ of ground clearance, 39″ fording depth, articulating axles,a 416 hp biturbo V8, and the sort of luxury interior we’d expect from Mercedes.

The Porsche Macan is a compact SUV. It has all-wheel drive, a 7-speed transmission with paddle shifters and 19″ wheels. The Macan Turbo has a 400hp 3.6L V6 engine, while the Macan S has a 340hp 3L V6 engine.

The 2015 Escalade has a 6.2L V8 that produces 420hp and 480lb.ft. of torque, Bose audio w/ active noise cancellation, wood and leather interior trim, climate-controlled seats, Full LED lighting, and a dramatically improved facade.

A futuristic vision from Mercedes-Benz for the SUV of tomorrow. The agressive G-class off-roader was designed for the 2012 LA Auto Show Design challenge – for a 2025 police vehicle.

Bentley infuses its style into a powerful SUV with unmistakeable body looks, a handcrafted wood and leather interior, panoramic glass roof, and luxury touches like a rear armrest champagne chiller.

Created from 380,000 Lego bricks, this life-sized Ford Explorer weighs in at a 2,654 pounds, and will eventually live at LEGOLAND Florida’s Ford Driving School. And no, you can’t drive it.

The guys at Design Q figured you must need a new SUV to go with your Explorer Jet plane, so they created this Range Rover, pimped out with a humidor and mini spa among other upgrades.

Hand-assembled but spartan, the Land Rover Defender finally goes upmarket with the Fire & Ice editions; each sports Recaro seats, Alcantara trim, diamond-turned alloys and more.
