2024 Audi SQ8.
With its captivating four-door coupe exterior and a 500-horsepower V8 engine that propels it from 0-60 mph in an impressive 4.3 seconds, the Audi SQ8 stands out as a sportier version of Audi's flagship Q8 SUV.

2025 Audi SQ7.
You don't need to look far to find capable, high-performance SUVs. But you won't find many like the 2025 Audi SQ7. With its potent 500-horsepower V8 engine, luxury trimmings, and standard third row, the SQ7 is a bit of a unicorn. A standard air suspension helps match the SQ7's prodigious power to tight, controlled handling, without turning the ride into a jarring paint mixer.Standard all-wheel steering helps the SUV handle better than its size suggests. For even more precision, the optional S Sport package adds an upgraded rear differential and electric motors on each axle that actively suppress body roll.Performance isn't the SQ7's only dimension, though. The interior is impeccably assembled and well-appointed with features such as diamond-stitched leather seats, massaging front seats, and a Bang & Olufsen surround-sound audio system. A sharp-looking infotainment touchscreen is one of three main displays up front, although at 10 inches, it's a little small by today's standards. And it's debatable whether the SQ7's dedicated display for climate controls and functions is merited.Still, the SQ7 has few rivals that check the same boxes. The BMW X7 M60i also has three rows and a muscular V8, but it's larger and substantially pricier. The Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 is a little smaller and offers an optional third row, but lacks the SQ7's performance hardware and pedigree.The Cadillac Escalade is suitably potent and refined, but its capabilities are largely limited to straight-line performance.
2024 Mercedes Benz GLE.
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE lives up to its premium reputation and premium price with a spacious, swanky cabin, top-class tech, polished manners, and strong performance. These days, Mercedes-Benz offers a dozen different SUV models, ranging from the accessible GLA all the way up to the prestigious Maybach GLS. The Mercedes-Benz GLE sits right in the middle of that extensive lineup in size, price, and performance. It also hits the heart of the midsize luxury SUV segment with a roomy and ritzy cabin, ample passenger and cargo space, innovative tech, and a comfortable ride. The GLE’s power and performance are also impressive, although the BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne, and Audi Q8 offer more standard horsepower than the Mercedes. The GLE is available with several turbocharged engines, ranging from a 255-horsepower four-cylinder to a roaring 603-hp V8. The most powerful model, the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S, is a rocket ship that hits 60 mph in under 4 seconds. The GLE’s cabin is supremely comfortable and visually stimulating. The overall design packs a wow factor beyond the norm in this class, and the materials and build quality are top notch. The available third-row seat is tight for adults, but increases the GLE’s seating capacity to seven, matching the Volvo XC90 and [Land Rover Range Rover Sport] (/land-rover/range-rover-sport/).
2025 BMW X5 M.
Big horsepower in an SUV is not unique to BMW. You should also consider the Audi RS Q8, Mercedes-AMG GLE 63, Land Rover Range Rover Sport, and Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Each model offers bruising muscle and sharp reflexes. Still, the BMW X5 M has a personality all its own. Even in the era of super SUVs, the 2025 BMW X5 M stands apart. Based on the BMW X5 models that were redesigned for the 2024 model year, the X5 M is a sharper, snorting performance model that packs a serious punch. Now available only as the X5 M Competition, there is no mistaking it for a run-of-the-mill family crossover.The X5 M comes standard with massive performance tires and all-wheel drive, in order to effectively wrangle 617 horsepower from its twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The combination makes the X5 M capable of accelerating from zero to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. Even more impressive for its size, it feels agile and responsive from behind the wheel.You can use the X5 M as a practical, everyday SUV, too. Its 33.9 cubic feet of space behind the second row of seats places it among the class leaders. You will suffer dearly when it comes to fuel economy, however, and the ride is far from supple compared to more common versions of the X5.Big horsepower in an SUV is not unique to BMW.
