The Porsche Cayenne has been a standard for luxury SUVs thanks to its performance on the road.
Land Rover’s Range Rover Sport (SVR), Jeep’s Grand Cherokee (SRT), and BMW’s X5 (M) all offered performance versions to compete with the Cayenne, but none had the same integration of speed and comfort that the Porsche made famous.
Audi’s Q7 is a competent family hauler with a third row, if that’s all you’re asking from the crossover.
The BMW X5 offers a shorter third row, and better in-car tech.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers an extreme Trackhawk model, if all you care about is speed.
The Mercedes-Benz GLE Class offers near as much polish as the Cayenne, and prolific speed in AMG trims, but its racy fastback coupe shape hasn’t grown on us.

The 2018 Porsche Cayenne is a richly appointed luxury SUV that earns its Porsche badge. It's one of few cars on the road that manage to feel special in standard or top trims, despite a $100,000 price difference. |
The 2018 Audi Q7 delivers exactly what luxury buyers want: room for the whole family and some of the most advanced technology ever fitted to a new car. |
The 2018 BMW X5 remains a thoughtful crossover SUV for families, although enthusiasts may be left wanting unless the right options are selected. |
Only poor crash test scores keep the Grand Cherokee down, as this talented family hauler offers luxury and utility and buyers can choose off-road capability, track talent, or even more luxury. |
The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is near the top of the luxury SUV mountain—mostly because it can climb there without trouble. |
Performance, plug-in, or pedestrian: there’s a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE for almost every luxury-SUV buyer. |
