Best Luxury Subcompact SUVs

(14)
#12024 BMW X1
The X1 offers an updated tech experience for 2024. It continues to deliver great passenger and cargo space, and even the base engine feels powerful. But an unrefined M Sport package and lack of standard driver assistance features show there’s still some room for improvement.

#22024 Alfa Romeo Tonale
Alfa's plug-in hybrid Tonale delivers on the design and driving experience we hope for from the Italian marque, though the transmission can feel sluggish at times and the interior is a bit plasticky.

Kudos to the XT4. Previously the least compelling vehicle in its segment, this Cadillac SUV has turned a new page with vastly improved tech and better-than-average comfort.

#12024 Genesis GV70
The GV70’s stunning interior, superb ride quality, and thrusty twin-turbo V-6 make it a worthy 2022 SUV of the Year. Fuel economy could be better, but there's also an EV variant.

The Model Y offers excellent range, great performance, and more space than a Model 3. Inconsistent build quality remains a potential drawback, though.

Best Luxury Compact Hybrid SUVs

(4)
2024 Audi Q5
Luxurious, stylish, and high-tech, the Q5 is a solid everyday SUV. Yet for as competent and refined as it is, the driving experience is anodyne—even in supposedly sporty SQ5 spec. Hybrid and fastback models are also offered.

Best Luxury Compact Fastback SUVs

#12024 Audi Q5 Sportback
Audi's fastback version of its best-selling Q5 may have less cargo space and rear headroom than the traditional crossover, but we still like its generous tech and comparatively large trunk.

Best Luxury Midsize SUVs

#12023 Lincoln Nautilus
A huge infotainment screen gives this slightly aged SUV modern appeal. It remains safe and very comfortable, but a short driving range doesn’t impress.

Best Luxury Midsize Fastback SUVs

#12024 Audi Q8
The Q8 surprises with spacious and practical packaging. Technology and quality are superb, but the Q8 doesn’t drive as sporty as it looks—that’s fixed in the SQ8 and RSQ8. Is it still too much like a cut-roof Q7?

Find the Best New Luxury SUVs to Buy With MotorTrend Ultimate Luxury SUV Rankings

The best luxury SUVs combine the rich materials, generous tech and convenience features, and plush ride quality of a luxury car with the large cargo space and bad-weather capabilities of an SUV. Cadillac’s Escalade and Lincoln’s Navigator represent excellent takes on the American full-size luxury SUV. The Lexus RX effectively created the modern luxury crossover segment in 1999, but there are earlier examples of proper luxury SUVs dating back to the 1966 Jeep Super Wagoneer and the original 1970 Range Rover. Other popular luxury SUVs include the Acura RDX, Tesla Model Y, and the 3-row Infiniti QX60.
