BMW's X5 has a third-row seat and a V-8 version.

The military-spec Mercedes-Benz G-Class is just as upright and can be nearly as plush.

The Lexus LX 570 is essentially a trimmed-out Toyota Land Cruiser, and off-road performance is equal, if not superior, to that of the Range Rover—but the LX 570 is a bit more conservative and lacks the personality of the other vehicles.

The Cadillac Escalade is more of an on-road vehicle, but it's flashier in an urban (or urbane) way.

However, none of the vehicles listed quite match the Range Rover’s savoir faire.

8.8 Those in the financial position to own a 2009 Land Rover Range Rover will enjoy the ultimate in sport-utility luxury.	8.6 Considering the weight of the Escalade’s image and its segment-leading performance, the 2009 Cadillac Escalade is hard to beat.	8 The 2008 Lexus LX 570 comes loaded with worthwhile technology, but it's not as distinctive as a Range Rover or an Escalade.	7.4 The 2008 Mercedes-Benz G-Class climbs rocks the old-fashioned way, with the looks to match.
