Although the Lexus GX has aged significantly, it's one of few luxury SUVs that can match the ride quality and feel of a BMW X5.
The Range Rover Sport may be the standard bearer for the luxury SUV class, but many won't ever need its go-anywhere capability or massive power.
Cadillac's Escalade is a more refined machine than in years past, but doesn't feel screwed together as well as the X5.
