The Lexus GX is a bit of an anomaly in the luxury SUV world. It’s one of the few body-on-frame hold-outs, but is not a full-size offering like the Cadillac Escalade, Infiniti QX80, or even Lexus’ own LX. Based on a platform shared by the Toyota 4Runner, the GX continues to use the older 4.6-liter V8. It may make less power than many modern V6 engines, but it does feature an abundance of low-end torque. 

It’s going to be a while before AutoGuide can pit the 2022 Acura MDX against the competition. Before that, I can tell you it certainly offers more sure-footed grip than one alternative: my own two legs.

Remember those spot-the-difference images on the backs of cereal boxes? Acura does.

If you’re looking for a driver-centric SUV, here are two of the best.

Joining the hot luxury compact SUV segment is the new Alfa Romeo Tonale. Designed as a sportier offering, the Tonale looks to battle the likes of the Audi Q3, BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA, Volvo XC40.

No luxury automobile manufacturer can resist the allure and potential profits of offering a SUV. Aston Martin is no different. The DBX is a mid-size utility vehicle that focuses on performance as any good vehicle from the British manufacturer should. 

As shoppers become more interested in electrified and all-electric models, there’s been an increase in search traffic seeking comparisons between some of the hottest models on the EV scene today.

Audi’s compact SUV is a popular choice in the segment. With contemporary good looks, the Q5 meets the needs of plenty of consumers looking for a small luxury SUV. Regular Q5 models have a choice of turbocharged four-cylinder engines – one with a plug-in hybrid and one without. 

If you’re going to be stuck in a torrential downpour, few cars are better to be in than the 2023 BMW iX M60.

BMW has shown for decades that compact vehicles don’t have to sacrifice fun, luxury, or prestige.

We went literal for our latest green comparison.

The BMW X4 is a more stylish version of the compact X3 SUV. With more fastback-like styling, it’s what many consider a SUV Coupe. Power comes from a choice of turbocharged four and six cylinder engines. Those who want the highest levels of performance should look at the X4 M.

The BMW X7 is the brand’s family-orientated three-row SUV. Of course it features all the luxury amenities one would expect from something wearing a BMW badge. With three rows of seats, there’s space for the entire family and then some. 

Buick’s three-row SUV is stylish, premium, and spacious. But the the best part of the Enclave is how comfortable it is. This SUV is at the top of our list when it comes to long-distance freeway cruisers. It can eat up mile after mile of highway, coddling occupants in complete isolation. 

Buick Encore

The Buick Encore GX is now the brand’s entry level SUV with the demise of the smaller Encore. Wearing new looks inside and out, the Encore GX continues to use the same mechanics as before. 

The outgoing Buick Envision had an unenviable position in the brand’s lineup.

Buick’s new entry level model is not quite a car nor is it an SUV. The Envista is something new and combines the styling of a SUV coupe with the pricing of a premium subcompact sedan. It’s the brand’s new entry level model and looks to appeal to traditional sedan buyers. 

If you want the pinnacle of American luxury, you want a full-size SUV.

The luxury EV SUV segment is a booming market right now and no luxury manufacturer can afford to not be in it. This is where Cadillac has decided to enter the world of electric vehicles with the Lyriq. It’s a stylish SUV that wears the design language we expect to be on most new Cadillacs, or at least the brand’s electric ones. 

Affordable EVs do exist, and these are two of the best. It’s the Kia Niro EV vs Chevrolet Bolt EUV comparison.

The Chevrolet Equinox is one of the best-selling vehicles in America. It offers sensible family transportation in an easy to use package. Not as premium as some of its competitors, the Equinox is packed full of value.

If you are shopping for a full-sized sport utility vehicle, the odds are that the Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevrolet Suburban are both on your shortlist.

North America isn’t big on diesel, maybe it should be.

There’s been some snickering in the back of the class about the reborn 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer’s name.

Chevrolet’s little SUV received a complete overhaul. No longer tall and short, the lower roofline and much longer wheelbase give the latest Trax a more wagon-like profile. It’s only available with front-wheel drive, as this is the least expensive model in Chevrolet’s lineup. 

For the record, I am not a fan of sporty SUVs.

Dodge is reentering the compact SUV market with the all-new Hornet. Using a historic nameplate from its past, the Hornet is a sportier SUV that trades in a bit practicality for personality. It can come with a choice of drivetrains, making either 268 hp or 288 hp. 

Fiat 500X

Ford has an amazingly wide array of Broncos in its lineup. New entries are added this year including the 2022 Ford Bronco Everglades.

Recently, we held a massive 2022 AutoGuide Compact SUV Comparison test presented by NRS Brakes. We’re now going to take a closer look at one of the entries in that battle royale, the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport.

Ford EcoSport

The car-based crossover SUVs that dominate today’s new-vehicle marketplace were never intended to replace off-road trucks and utilities, but a market is emerging nonetheless for crossovers that can handle some rough going.

Four big, body-on-frame SUVs enter the arena. Only one will win. It’s time to see which is the best full-size SUV.

Genesis is electrifying many of the brand’s popular models and the GV70 is one of the manufacturer’s latest. The all-wheel drive compact SUV ditches the regular gasoline engine options for a dual motor set-up. Output for the Electrified GV70 is listed between 429-483 horsepower depending on trim level. 

There is no better place for the 2023 Genesis GV60 launch than Austin, Texas.
