Superior quality, excellent driver assistance features and unrivalled comfort.
Driving an SUV doesn’t mean that you have to be rough and ready … quite the opposite in fact
Most of the luxury automotive brands have acknowledged the popularity of the SUV and introduced them into their range. Others, of course have been creating top-of-the-range SUVs for decades.
Whether it’s an established luxury SUV marque, such as Land Rover or a new kid on the block like DS Automobiles, you’ll find the same attention to detail with high quality materials, superior driver assistance and outstanding looks.
Here’s our pick of the bunch when it comes to luxury SUVs…
Range Rover
Velar
Land Rover is well known for building capable SUVs with its iconic range of 4x4s. Throw in a dash more style and sophistication, and you’ll find the Range Rover Velar. As with all Range Rover models, intelligent torque distribution makes for smooth handling and superb agility, whether you’re nipping to the shops or out and about in the country.
With quilted Windsor leather front seats, complete with memory, massage, heating and cooling functions, this could be, quite possibly, the most comfortable drive you’ll ever find.
Upgrade to a premium exterior pack for even more jaw dropping good looks, including pinstripe finish, door cladding and front fog lights, and you’re good to go.
