2024 GMC HUMMER EV SUV.
The GMC Hummer EV SUV is based on the same platform as the GMC Hummer EV Pickup pickup truck. No surprise there. But there are differences.
2024 BMW XM.
The special powertrain sets the XM apart from just about any vehicle on the road. The plug-in hybrid system boasts a plentiful 644 horsepower, all sent to the road via BMW's M xDrive all-wheel-drive system.
2024 Dodge Durango.
The interior lags when it comes to refinement and luxury. Some soft and upscale materials can be found on higher-level trims, but most Durango models share plastic parts with other Stellantis vehicles that feel cheap compared to similarly priced rivals.
2024 Aston Martin DBX.
Nearly every luxury brand offers a high-performance SUV nowadays, but Aston Martin's entry, the DBX, is arguably the prettiest.
2024 Cadillac Escalade V.
The Cadillac Escalade-V embodies the epitome of American luxury: opulent, commanding, and upscale. Available in both a spacious three-row SUV and an extended ESV version, it makes a grand statement. Cadillac simplifies the choice by offering a single, fully loaded trim level for the Escalade-V, where all-wheel drive and a robust 682-horsepower supercharged V8 engine come standard. The Escalade-V strikes a harmonious balance between a high-performance SUV and a supple luxury cruiser, with its air suspension ensuring a buttery-smooth ride. While delivering incredible performance for a vehicle its size, the Escalade-V leans towards being a potent grand tourer rather than a nimble sports SUV, distinguishing itself from models like the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT and Lamborghini Urus. Instead, it competes well against the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLS 63, Bentley Bentayga, and Land Rover Range Rover. The largest performance SUV on the market, the Cadillac Escalade-V is as imposing as it is powerful. Its over-the-top luxury and supercharged V8 power come at a price, though, rivaling imported SUVs with sportier acceleration and handling.
2024 Lamborghini Urus.
The 2024 Lamborghini Urus is a unique ultra-performance SUV with exotic looks and supercar speed. Its rapid acceleration, sharp handling, and driver-centric cabin give it the sportiest feel of anything in its class. Those experienced with driving Italian sports cars will appreciate the Urus' extra interior space and storage. Top rivals like Bentley and Mercedes-Benz offer more luxurious accommodations, which translates to better comfort in daily driving. But the Urus is hard to beat for an authentic sports car experience in an SUV, making it the well-heeled purist's choice. The Lamborghini Urus is one of the most exciting and exclusive SUVs on the planet, but its near-endless well of performance comes at a steep price.
2025 BMW X7.
The X7 was recently refreshed, so nothing much changes for 2025. The hands-free driving system, new last year, puts BMW on par with luxury rivals like Mercedes-Benz and even Tesla in the race to enable more fully autonomous driving. This year it gets a slick eye-activated lane change feature, but all else carries over as before. The Mercedes-Benz GLS — the X7's most natural luxury rival — also blends a measure of self-driving, along with more passenger room, more cargo space, and alternative style inside and out. Other luxury peers, such as the Audi Q7 and Genesis GV80, are suitably refined for less money, but lack the X7's overall power and detail. The and offer abundant size and elegance, and while they can't sail through corners like the X7, they do what American cars historically do best: offer acres of interior space at less lofty prices. The 2025 BMW X7 is the automaker's biggest car and among its most powerful, but it's also surprisingly well-rounded. It packs the brand's most advanced driving technology, sophisticated infotainment, and obsessive performance engineering into a family SUV that can make more than 600 horsepower. It's also reasonably fuel-efficient and as dashing on a tight ribbon of asphalt as it is in a tight, preening valet lot. The X7 only offers three trims, but the breadth is impressive.
