Since the 2011 Infiniti QX56–now the QX80–was redesigned in 2011, other contenders have entered the playing field.
The Lexus LX 570 is a near-clone of the very large Toyota Land Cruiser, but it brings with it luxury and rugged capabilities that match the QX.
Nearing the end of their currently product cycles, the Lincoln Navigator and Cadillac Escalade remain the kings of bling with full-size SUV practicality and towing abilities, and the Escalade even offers a Hybrid version.
The Benz GL is brand-new this year, improved in almost every way, from infotainment features to its new power-folding second-row seat; its diesel edition is our favorite among the full-size luxo-utes.
Finally, the Range Rover is heading toward retirement: a brand-new vehicle, spun from the Jaguar XJ architecture, is due for a world debut in the fall of 2012, with a curb weight up to 500 pounds less than today's vehicle.
