Suvs

Volvo aims at the BMW X1, Audi Q2 and Mercedes-Benz GLA with its own compact SUV. The XC40 has many of the safety and infotainment technologies found in Audi’s bigger SUVs. It will also be the first vehicle to be featured in Volvo’s flat-fee leasing service.

We know first hand how good the Land Rover Discovery is good at towing things – we shot the video they used of the snow-bound 18-wheeler being towed by one. But we didn’t know it could pull a 121-ton, 328 ft road train like this Discovery HSE Td6 recently did in Australia.

Featuring cleaner styling than ever, Porsche’s performance SUV now rocks a V8 that makes 550 hp and 567 lb-ft. of torque, improved handling, does 0-to-60 in as little as 3.7s with top speed of 177 mph. The new interior looks great too, with its plethora of digital displays.

BMW is gunning for the Mercedes-Benz GLS, Lexus LX and other road-hogging SUVs with the X7. It’s the most spacious BMW ever designed, and has a panoramic glass roof that stretches all the way to the back. It will be available as a hybrid with a turbocharged engine. That kidney grill tho.

We spent a week with Toyota’s rugged, capable, and comfortable SUV, and didn’t want to give it up when our time was done. It deftly goes from urban daily driver to a rugged, trail-capable 4×4, and won’t break the bank. Read our full review on 95octane.

A fantastic blend of power, luxury, and practicality, this compact SUV has been blessed by AMG with a biturbo V6 that makes 362 hp and 384 lb-ft. of torque, launching you and up to 56.5 cubic feet of cargo from 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds. Read our full review on 95octane.

We spent a day at The Range Complex getting to know some our country’s finest, veterans of the U.S. Army’s elite Delta Force unit. We were given just a taste of how they train, and how their Tahoes and Suburbans provide the ideal transportation for their dangerous missions.

Toyota’s compact 4WD concept is both rugged and easy to live with. Its toolbox-inspired design includes a versatile cargo system, hot and cold storage, and nifty touches like a removable water bottle, removable lights, and an armrest that doubles as a sleeping bag.

We recently headed to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with Chevrolet for a day at their Find New Roads Experience. Along the way, we hit the agility course in the new Colorado ZR2, launched a Camaro ZL1, and did a bucket-list lap of the speedway in a Corvette Grand Sport.

Wild Fennec’s upgrade for the classic Land Rover Defender adds an expandable living area in the rear, complete with a kitchen, dining room, sleeping area, and even a toilet. The whole thing can be opened or closed in under 45 seconds.

Jeep borrows a bit of thunder from its Dodge SRT cousins, packing a 707hp Hellcat supercharged 6.2L V8 engine under its hood, and big Brembo brakes. We can’t think of too many other vehicles that can go 0-to-60 in 3.5s, devour off road trails, and tow up to 7,200 lbs.

This special limited-edition of the rugged G-Wagon has a retractable fabric roof over its rear, an AMG V12 engine making 630 hp, 22″ wheels, 18″ of clearance, and a droolworthy interior with diamond stitching, massage seats, and even climate-controlled cupholders.

Our friends at Rides & Drives spent a few days with the luxurious, powerful, and surprisingly agile Bentley Bentayga SUV on the road and on the track. See what this amazing vehicle is capable of as it laps historic Lime Rock Park.

Mansory takes the already badass G-Wagen and takes it to the next level with a carbon fiber widebody kit with fender flares, door skins, and front and rear bumpers. Cough up enough dough, and they’ll fit the interior with luxurious diamond-quilted leather and carbon fiber trim.

Motor Trend’s Head 2 Head compares the world’s fastest SUV, the 2017 Bentley Bentayga, with the world’s quickest SUV, the 2016 Tesla Model X. It’s mostly a sane discussion, except for the silly drag race at 3:31.

The Italian luxury sports car maker jumps into the SUV market with a big splash – a stunning new ride that embodies the spirit of Maserati, with the utility that today’s drivers are looking for. We have few tech specs, but it will be an AWD with an 8-speed auto.

The most badass production 4Runner ever, the TRD Pro is the truck we’d want in a zombie apocalypse. Its TRD Bilstein shocks and multi-terrain systems will conquer any surface you can throw at them, and Crawl Control and Hill Start assist make quick work of tough terrain.

Blending luxury with power and off-road ability thanks to its terrain response system, the 2015 Range Rover Sport is as good as SUVs get. Start with a 340hp supercharged V6 or go all out with the V8 for up to 550hp. Full review on 95octane.

The Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4² has the G63 AMG 6×6’s powertrain, the AMG GT’s V8 engine, a rally car’s suspension and a luxurious interior. An adjustable suspension lets it go from off-road to urban environs in a snap. More on 95octane.

Intermingling the best design and driving characteristics of SUV and passenger car, the Mercedes-Benz Concept Coupé SUV builds upon the S-Class Coupé, combining performance and utility in a single vehicle.

The crazy folks at Hennessey Performance mashed up the Ford F-150 Raptor with the Ford Excursion, creating a mammoth of an SUV. It starts with a 6.2L 411 bhp Ford V8 but can be upgraded to a supercharged 600 bhp engine.

The Ghe-O Rescue is an SUV on steroids, built to handle truly extreme conditions. It can carry up to 11 people, has diesel and gas variants and a variety of accessories, including pneumatic pillows for the wheels, rear tracks and a plow.
