When you hear the abbreviation SUV, In US we think black Escalade with giant 24s. In Europe it's BMW X5 or Mercedes G-Class and in Japan its Toyota Land Cruiser or Infiniti EX. But which one of all is the best? Let's go over each one of them one by one.
P.S. Numbers before the names are not ranks, they are just numbers.
1. BMW X5
For a long time, this car has been the German hitman, until the new generation X5s. They are plain embarrassing, ugly, and what's worse- they've lost that X5 spirit -that spirit of showing off, leaning out, and not paying the lease. BMWs overall have lost that true BMW spirit. They became more like regular everyday cars, they don't deserve to be called luxury. They are made cheaply, they are uglier than ever, they are slower than ever, which means, they are not BMWs anymore.
2. Range Rover
Most of the rich people in the US buy this car, thinking it makes them look cool or maybe it just looks nice to them, but that's not the point. This car's garage will be Land Rover service center. It does look very nice, I can't argue with that, but it breaks down so easy, and so many idiots go out and buy this car, and start tuning it, that you loose all that will to buy this car. You don't even want to sit in it. Engineering and quality of this car is probably the worst of the worst. Considering the fact that this car was built in U.K., and only some cars come out to be good from U.K., such as McLaren, Aston Martin, Jaguar, this one is not one of them. Even though they don't belong to BL anymore, they still have that bad BL gene, a gene of making low quality cars.
3. Mercedes G500
This car is probably the best European SUV that's out yet. It managed to keep it's Mercedes spirit up, and that label G, which spells out "Genius", everything is the way it used to be. It has enormous amount of space inside. My uncle has the Brabus model. When I sat in it, I almost got lost. There was way to much space left. It looked kind of old-fashioned to me. And one more thing that annoys me is the squared shape, but that's all the way it's suppose to be. This is the car that deserves the medal of honor. This car truly symbolizes Mercedes, and what's more important, it symbolizes Germany.
4. Cadillac Escalade
This is that American "Muscle Luxury SUV". This is the choice of most of the mobsters and gangsters. But, it's not the best. In fact, it might go to the "worst SUVs ever made" category. It's cheaply made from inside, it doesn't look so special, it's plain dull and boring, and it's stupid to own one of these to, because you will be throwing your money away. This car truly symbolizes General Motors and it's almost copying America. There's not enough space inside, it's filled with stuff you don't need, and what's worse, it's overpriced, and when I say overpriced, I mean embarrassingly overpriced. I would never buy this car in my life. Even if you pay me to drive it, I still won't.
5. Lexus LX570/Toyota Land Cruiser
This car costs a lot of money. It's much nicer looking than Porche Cayenne, and it's more powerful than X5 or G550. And out of all the cars, this one is the one that was put together like God himself came down and gave instructions on how to build this car. This is like Noah's ark of our days, this car will last forever. You can't say it's too much stuff in it, but you can't say that it's lacking something, because it does not. This car is what defines perfection. Unlike BMW, it actually has very nice leather seats. Unlike the Mercedes, it looks like a SUV. It has crawl-control for off-road, and what's more important, it's safe! What else do you need from a luxury SUV?
6. Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon
This car looks like it has weight problems. Some people might find it nice looking. I admit, it does look pretty nice. But it's made very cheaply, just like every other GM car. It's seat belts are very uncomfortable, and for an SUV, after a small hit, you can say "bye bye" to $2000 for a new bumper. True story: GMC Yukon hits a Subaru Legacy. Legacy had couple scratches on it and a broken tail light. GMC? Broken headlights, bumper, radiator sheet. These cars are not worth the price they sell it for, and from inside, they are nothing like a luxury car.
7. Porche Cayenne
New Cayenne looks like an unsuccessful mix of Mercedes, Mazda and Porche. I still can't get over that ugly and jerky look in front and those Mercedes style tail lights. It looks nothing like Cayenne anymore. It costs nothing like Cayenne either, and it lost all those real materials which were replaced by fakes. They even came out with the hybrid model! It's the worst thing you can ever do! If you are a European car manufacturer, you should make a diesel car, not a hybrid!? That proves how dumb Audi is, and how incompetent Porche are.
8. Infiniti FX35
I personally don't like the looks of the car. They simply don't match. It looks like a Russian that drank Sake for the first time of his life. By looking at the expression on that face, you understand that that Russian is rather stick with Vodka. This car looks unsatisfied, greedy and every other quality of a very rich man. But unlike every other luxury SUV, this doesn't feel like SUV at all. This doesn't even feel like it's luxury. It's quick, it's fast, it's fun. It's got that GT-R gene in it. Nissan just couldn't keep it in themselves, they had to express it some way I guess, and they did a pretty good job, and I think they should keep it up!
9. Audi Q7
This car looks just like a Touareg witha bigger radiator. Come to think of it, it is a Touareg! After all, Audi belongs to VW right? So this car, is a Touareg, which means, it's very simple looking, there's just way to much stuff on it, they overloaded the instrument panel, it's engine is extremely underpowered for an SUV and just like the Porche, it's cheaply put together, in order to be more "green" and to "save people money". But as a result, they made a car that's even worse than any other Q7 ever made. Audi hit a record of making stupid and senseless and yet overpriced cars.
10. Volvo XC90
Volvo XC90 is the simplest out of all in the list. It looks nothing like an SUV, just a regular every day car. Yet inside, it's full of stuff. It's put together like a tank, almost impossible to break through. No wonder this is considered the safest SUV out of all. Volvo knows what they make. They put everything they got in their cars, making not just their customers happy, but themselves proud as great car makers. This car, although simple and inexpensive, is holding tight in our list of best cars, just like it's parts hold tight together. It's definitely worth the time and the money.
Out of all the cars, I decided to pick 3 best ones. Here are the results. This time, number is the rank.
#3: I was thinking which one should come here, EX35 or XC90. I couldn't just ignore the Volvo. Not just because of people might think that I like Japanese cars to much, but also because the EX35 is not SUVish. So the 3d place goes to Volvo XC90.
#2: There was also a competition for the second place. I was thinking, which one should I give the second place, the Range Rover or the G550? My heart was telling me to pick the Range Rover, but it just didn't have what it takes. So the 2nd place goes to G550.
#1: There was no competition here. No other car would be able to take this podium. The winner of the competition is Lexus LX570/Toyota Land Cuiser!
