One of the best luxury cars money can buy: this really is a bit of an all-round superstar

Superb family all-rounder will politely give rivals a bloody nose.

The leaps forward in road manners, cabin design and quality take the G-Class from being an ageing anachronism to a car that can be considered alongside top end Range Rovers

Enjoyable enough to drive, manages to be alternative without being oddball

A Top Gear award winner in 2016, and rightly so – Skoda’s big crossover is all things to all families.

The X3 has never done BMW much credit, but the new one is a thorough enough job to take on the class best

Jaguar joins the SUV party and nails it first time. Well heeled families will love it

The VW faces an uphill struggle against brand laden rivals, but is actually just as good.

A well-executed contradiction: a fine long-distance GT that's great in the rough and stunning inside

A big step on from the old one. Drives well, great cabin environment.

The luxury SUV bar has been raised. Bentley's bold claims are justified.

The Cayenne remains the king of driver-friendly SUVs. A very complete machine

Audi's big, aggressive Q8 is interesting and clever, with a side order of *whoa*

You might not like to admit it, but the BMW X5 is a damn good car.

Lexus makes a proper alternative to the default German premium SUVs, so long as you prefer efficiency and comfort to outright performance

Infiniti is finding its stride with cars like the QX30d, shame the marketplace is so banjaxed at the moment.

Big, comfy and tech-heavy, but plain and ultimately unremarkable.

If you live in the desert, the Land Cruiser is as good as it gets. But seeing as we don't, the Discovery is a much better bet

Capable, dependable, and civilised. Pity about the styling: it’s brash outside and too reminiscent of a Corolla within.
