Top 6 Premium SUVs

The new X5 really is something to behold. The cabin looks more like a private jet nowadays with the fine, quilted leather and beautifully crafted features such as the optional crystal gear selector which responds to mood lighting in the ‘CraftedClarity Glass’ option. You can also spec an X5 with the ‘sky lounge’ pack which is basically a massive panoramic sunroof which stretches from corner to corner of the ceiling, allowing natural light to flood in while also blocking out unwanted road noise. The X5 is on sale now and prices start from £60,125.

The Q8 is a new model for Audi, bolstering their already substantial SUV lineup and giving SUV buyers the chance to buy something with real size and stature but also with an aggressive and almost hatchback-like body shape. Every Q8 comes with air suspension, Quattro all-wheel drive, mild hybrid technology, MATRIX LED headlights and Audi’s beautiful multi-screen virtual cockpit. The Q8 is on sale and prices start from £66,745 for the entry-level model, but as you’d expect Audi have been extremely generous with the standard specification of the Q8, but there is still an awful lot of extras to choose from if you so wish.

The new GLE Coupe is one of Mercedes’ best SUVs of the modern era. While there have been some pretty good SUVs from Merc - none have been as well rounded and sophisticated as this new GLE Coupe model. You’ll notice that this ‘coupe’ isn’t a coupe, it has an aggressive roofline and a stunning physique. The Coupe still boasts the same handsome interior, high build quality, great spec and both petrol and diesel engines. The GLE Coupe is on sale now and prices start from £72,555. 

The Bentayga was the first SUV for Bentley and it has quickly become a best seller for the Crewe company. It’s not hard to see why drivers can’t get enough of SUVs, and that applies to all budgets. Buyers of the Bentayga get a personalised bespoke service for configuring their new SUV, it will be finished in the finest materials which offer the luxury and refinement you'd expect from its six figure price tag. 

The Levante has been on sale for a couple of years now but we’re still coming to terms with the fact that Maserati has gone and built an SUV. The flamboyant, exuberant Italian supercar makers have taken all their expertise and put it into a practical, comfortable and extremely good looking 4x4. If you’re keen on turning heads in your SUV then the Levante has got to be right at the top of your shortlist. There are few of these out on the roads and exclusivity sells well to the clientele that Maserati is targeting with this gorgeous car. The Levante is priced very competitively for a high-end vehicle, with the entry-level model starting at £59,800.

Imperious. God-like. Commanding. Respected. The full-fat Range Rover is globally renowned to be one of, if not the, best premium SUV on the market. Not only is the Range Rover capable of actually going off road and doing 4x4 things, but it’s also a limousine used to ferry the worlds wealthiest from a to b. Truly a master of all trades on and off-road. You really need to sit in the back of one to appreciate just how wonderfully crafted they are and how refined the driving experience really is. The Range Rover is on sale now from £84,015.
