hi guys welcome to my youtube channel luxury suvs have become a staple of premium car makers lineups
with at least one from every major player and each accounting for a healthy chunk of
its manufacturers global profits these are cars in great demand and rightly highly desired for their
combination of versatility comfort refinement and performance both on and off the road genuine 4x4
ability is common amongst them as is the utmost in luxury space and refinement and amongst the
many factors motivating buyers stylish design and brand allure are becoming increasingly important
before starting the video please subscribe to my youtube channel number one range rover sport
an increasing number of ranged rover branded derivatives have turned what used to be one car
into a family of land rover models but the range rover sport might be the most important car in
that new family as well as the most broadly talented and capable it's one of the most
versatile upmarket suvs on the market and lives up to the word luxury like few others it's not quite
as large or as spacious as its bigger sibling and isn't the lightest car of its kind but the range
rover sport more than makes up for it with its remarkable breadth of talent t-hat one car can
offer such a complete catalog of abilities is remarkable and among them is outstanding
off-road ability and real-on-road handling dynamism and driver appeal for car of this size
first-rate cabin richness refinement and luxury ambiance also come as standard with land rover's
latest dual screen infotainment system having been fitted to the car as part of a midlife facelift
number two audi itron quattro the pace of development of the luxury electric car is
something to behold right now five years ago an all-electric option would barely have threatened
to get to the top of this list but today the inherent qualities of electrified propulsion
are really being brought to bear by the very best luxury evs on the market and there can be no doubt
that the audi e-tron quattro is one of them this audi isn't our pick of premium evs in a broader
sense and when we group tested it against its nearest electric rivals in 2019 it didn't dominate
nor even when but if you want luxury perceived quality comfort and refinement from a big suv in
2020 the e-tron simply demands to be considered and just so frankly whether you intended to buy
an electric car or not number three land rover discovery the second podium for land rover in
the luxury suv segment is delivered by a car whose character differs starkly from that of
the car above but may be all the more appealing to you for its relative lack of machismo the
fifth generation land rover discovery it's a car of controversial but rugged styling with off-road
ability that few in the class could beat and with a brief to provide functional understated
comfortable luxury and versatility on the road and that succeeds at that task with likable ease
seven usable seats are inside and when you're driving you'll have a great time
because this is as comfortable a cruiser as many traditional saloon-shaped luxury cars
the car that saved porsche entered its third model generation in 2018 and in doing so eased
out its vw group platform buddy the audi q7 for a place at the sharp end of this class ranking
number four porsche cayenne the latest cayenne isn't quite the driver's car we've all come to
know and that many of us came to begrudgingly respect after taking
so powerfully against what the car seemed to represent in its first iteration back in 2002
because porsche is still porsche it still makes the very best sports cars in the world
thanks in no small part to a business that's now built on the commercial bedrock of luxury suvs
number five audi q7 the q7 is a desirable polished suv with a real aura of accomplishment
huge inside with high quality materials and a very high level of refinement and mechanical isolation
it may be the embodiment of everything you want in a modern upmarket family car particularly if you
consider cars like this the modern manifestation of luxury in automotive form the regular q7 is
certainly potent and efficient though and improves over the previous model standards in every way
number six bmw x5 the fourth generation of munich's full-size luxury four by four
signals and maturing and broadening of the x5s character definition but not a wholesale change
of it twenty years ago when bmw revolutionized and revitalized this part of the luxury car
market with the original x5 it hit on a powerfully appealing concept that of the sporting suv with as
much space versatility and 4x4 capability as many needed but not enough to dull its dynamic edge but
it's the x5s driving experience that's still most likely to bond you with the car particularly the
large 4x4 is the car you need but not the one you necessarily want number seven mercedes-benz gle
mercedes has redoubled its commitment to the luxury suv market by investing in a new vehicle
platform and by making the first model to use it the fourth generation gle predecessors of which
used to be known as the ml class a bit of a technological pioneer having grown in size
considerably compared with the old gle the new one has a more rigid mixed metal body structure too
it offers considerably more space for second and third row passengers than its predecessor
and what mercedes bills as a markedly more up-market luxury ambiance in all seats
although our testers report that the effect on this front is more evolutionary than revolutionary
number eight volvo xc90 volvo's renaissance following ford ownership started with the
xc90 a genuine seven seater with comfort and handling on its side
a decent range of engines including a 401 bhp plug-in hybrid as well as an abundance of style
it's another car that sits directly in the middle of the luxury suv price spectrum
the interior features a mix of luxury touches and not so luxury plastics in places while less
than perfect engine refinement and infotainment usability niggles ensure the xc90 stops just short
of greatness nonetheless volvo made worthwhile improvements to the car's engine range when it
replaced the d5 diesel with a new mild hybrid v5 option in 2019 number nine range rover velar
the range rover velar is land rover's most road biased suv yet with looks taken straight
from those of the concept car an interior that puts most others to shame with its richness in
both materials and technology and a model platform adapted from one primarily developed for its group
partner brand jaguar on the road it's every bit as good to drive as it is to simply admire with
ride refinement performance and handling precision every bit as good as any car in the class provided
you don't skimp on cylinder count when you specify your car four-cylinder engines are much poorer
than the sixes although we're yet to try the new p-400e plug-in hybrid version of the car
number 10 mercedes-benz g-class mercedes top-of-the-line suv the reimagine g-class
is a pricey purchase even judged among the not inexpensive company amongst which it's mixing here
and yet for its bodily enigmatic design appeal it's uncompromising off-road ability and its new
and improved credentials as a luxury conveyance you could easily decide that a near dash pound 100
