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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
