Once the king of luxury SUVs, the Range Rover has serious competition. Today’s high-end rides offer everything from jet-speed acceleration to sound systems so crisp they might reveal ghosts in your playlist. These ten SUVs are stealing the spotlight, giving buyers more reasons to look beyond the classic British status symbol.
Bentley Bentayga
Picture a five-star hotel that can hit 190 mph. That’s the Bentayga. Its handcrafted interior and W12 engine make it the go-to for those who want both opulence and absurd speed. This car is customizable to the point where choosing the paint color might take longer than buying it.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan doesn’t just define luxury. It glides through it in near silence. Press a button, and the doors close effortlessly. The suspension is so smooth it feels like riding on air. Moreover, off-roading feels less like an adventure and more like a VIP tour, with comfort taking priority over mud and rough terrain.
Lamborghini Urus
The Lamborghini Urus is an SUV with a serious appetite for speed. With a 641-horsepower twin-turbo V8, it launches to 60 mph in about three seconds. Grocery runs feel more like track days. Instead of focusing on elegance like the Range Rover, this beast is all about intimidating sports cars at stoplights
Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT
Want an SUV that handles like it’s got something to prove? The Cayenne Turbo GT holds a Nurburgring lap record for SUVs, meaning it’s a race car with extra legroom. It’s for those who love driving dynamics more than reclining rear seats, which is why Range Rover owners tend to look elsewhere.
Aston Martin DBX707
Aston Martin isn’t known for playing it safe, and the DBX707 makes that clear. In this car, 707 horsepower and handling as sharp as a tailor’s finest suit delivers track-worthy performance with a touch of luxury. While the Range Rover leans into quiet sophistication, the DBX707 makes sure everyone hears its roar.
BMW XM
The BMW XM delivers both—a touch of muscle car and a little eco-friendly flair. Its hybrid system cranks out 644 horsepower, proving that “going green” doesn’t have to mean “going slow.” Range Rover hybrids exist but don’t scream power like this beast.
Cadillac Escalade-V
The Escalade-V isn’t shy about making an entrance. A supercharged V8 growls under the hood, and the sound system could shake a stadium. Its augmented-reality navigation is a treat for tech lovers. In short, the Range Rover leans into sophistication, but this beast delivers raw power with a serious attitude.
Maserati Levante Trofeo
The Levante Trofeo is what happens when an SUV swaps coffee for espresso and insists on dressing in Italian luxury. A Ferrari-built engine and sleek styling make it more about passion than practicality. Overall, this one turns every drive into a grand tour, even on the way to work.
Lucid Gravity
Lucid Gravity proves that electric SUVs can be exciting. With a futuristic design and advanced tech, this luxury EV feels like it belongs in the future. Its impressive range makes long road trips easy, even for those who still love gas-powered engines.
Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600
Why stop at luxury when you can have a rolling VIP lounge? The GLS 600 pampers passengers with massaging seats and a refrigerator. Range Rovers are plush, but this is the one that makes even first-class flights feel like budget travel.
