The Lexus UX is a subcompact SUV. As the entry point into the luxury brand, Lexus keeps things simple. The UX only comes with a single drivetrain, a four-cylinder hybrid that makes 181 hp. It can can be paired with either front- or all-wheel drive. 

The Lincoln Aviator is the brand’s other three-row SUV. Slightly smaller than the Navigator, the Aviator is built on a rear-wheel drive platform shared with the Ford Explorer. Of course, the Lincoln wears unique sheet metal and offers far more premium materials inside. It can be had with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. 

The mid-size Lincoln Nautilus is currently available with a pair of turbocharged engines. Entry level models use a 250 hp 2.0-liter engine while higher trims have a more powerful 335 hp 2.7-liter unit. Regardless which engine is chosen, both vehicles offer a premium interior and comfortable driving experience. 

One of the OG large luxury SUVs, the Lincoln Navigator continues to soldier on. Available in two lengths, the posh people mover is now powered by a turbocharged V6. With 440 hp on tap, it out muscles most of its competitors V8s and offers class competitive fuel economy. That stated, the Navigator is not exactly a fuel sipper. 

The Eletre will shock a lot of Lotus faithful. Not only is this the brand’s first SUV, but it is an all electric one as well. Rest assured, the Eletre is all about performance and is designed to hold its own on the track. Power comes from a set of electric motors that makes anywhere from just over 600 hp to in excess of 900 hp. 

The Ghibli is Maserati’s mid-size luxury sedan that can be had in a variety of configurations. Top amongst all of them is the Trofeo that uses a turbocharged V8 borrowed from Ferrari. With 572 hp, it can compete head to head with cars like the Porsche Panamera Turbo and BMW M5. 

The Maserati GranTurismo is a Grand Touring coupe with an Italian flare. Not much on the road sounds anything like the GranTurismo, even if it now uses a six-cylinder engine instead of a V8. For those that want something different, there’s the Folgore. It utilizes three electric motors that produce around 750 total horsepower. 

The Grecale joins the Maserati lineup as the brand’s second SUV. Smaller than the Levante, the Grecale is no less performance orientated. There’s upwards of 523 hp on tap from a turbocharged six-cylinder engine. Easily identifiable as a Maserati, the SUV has a classic design on the exterior. 

The Levante was the first SUV introduced by Maserati. Focusing on sport as much as utility, the Levante can have upwards of 572 hp from a 3.8-liter turbocharged V8. Of course, it makes fantastic noises, just as any proper Maserati should. It’s also very luxurious inside, coddling passengers in both rows of seats. 

The MC20 is Maserati’s supercar that calls back a name used in the not too distant past. Mid mounted is a 621 hp twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter six cylinder engine. It’s paired to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. 

The Maserati Quattroporte is a sporty luxury mid-size car from the famed Italian manufacturer. Powered by a choice of engines, the larger Ferrari-sourced 3.8-liter turbocharged V8 sounds like nothing else on the road today.

The subcompact Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan is the entry point to the luxury manufacturer. With the lowest price point, only one version of the car is available, the A 220. It can be had with front-or all-wheel drive and comes exclusively with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. 

I love spaghetti carbonara. But I can’t eat it all the time.

The compact C-Class from Mercedes-Benz can come as both as coupe and a convertible. Unlike it’s sedan counterpart, the two-door models of the C-Class still ride on the previous generations architecture. Power for both vehicles comes from a choice of turbocharged engines, a 4-cylinder and a 6-cylinder.

The CLA Coupe is Mercedes-Benz swoopy four-door subcompact. Yes, despite what the name implies, the CLA is in fact a sedan. But it does feature an aggressively racked rear roofline that gives it a coupe-like profile. 

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class continues to be one of the most versatile models in the brand’s lineup. It can come as a traditional sedan, a lifted wagon, a coupe, or a convertible. Here, we are focusing on the latter two. The coupe and convertible include just a single drivetrain, a 3.0-liter turbo 6-cylinder coupled to a mild hybrid. Two levels of power are available, and power can be sent to the rear or all four wheels. 

The Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan is the second member of the EQ all-electric sedan family. Smaller than the EQS, the EQE is a more affordable mid-size all-electric option from Mercedes. But just because it is smaller doesn’t mean the EQE lacks the technology wizardry found in the larger EQ family members. 

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is an icon for the brand. Also referred to as the G-Wagen, this is a hardcore SUV wrapped in an elegant package. Locking differentials, adjustable suspension, and a low-speed transfer case are a few of the vehicle’s trail ready tidbits. 

The GLA is Mercedes-Benz’ smallest SUV. The subcompact utility vehicle is the entry point to the brand, so it’s very important for the manufacturer. With decent levels of interior space, the GLA can be had with front- or all-wheel drive. 

The compact Mercedes-Benz GLB offers something most of its competitors do not – a third row of seats. Obviously, the back most row is the domain of small children, but having that option is a big plus for many. Two basic versions of the GLB are available, a regular model and an AMG. 

The GLE Coupe is Mercedes-Benz swoopy-styled version of the GLE SUV. With a raked rear roofline, the GLE Coupe is designed to have a more striking, sportier look. It lacks cargo capacity compared to its GLE sibling and cannot be had with a third row of seats.

Maybach used to be a Mercedes-Benz stand alone super luxury brand. But recently, the manufacturer has transformed into a special trim level on some of Mercedes’ most prestigious vehicles. One of those models is the Maybach GLS. Starting at a price well over $150,000, the exclusive SUV comes with a 550 hp turbocharged V8 mated to a hybrid drivetrain. 

Mercedes-Benz’ flagship sedan is one of the most luxurious four-doors out there. Dripping with elegance, the S-Class continues to be a standard in the segment. Recently, a plug-in hybrid version joined the lineup, utilizing a turbocharged six-cylinder engine and electric motors. 

The Polestar 4 is, you guessed it, the fourth vehicle to come from the all-electric luxury manufacturer. A sleeker version of the Polestar 3, the 4 doesn’t use traditional SUV Coupe styling. While on the topic of untraditional, there’s no rear window on this vehicle either. 

We went literal for our latest green comparison.

The Taycan might be grabbing all the headlines, but the Panamera got its own important round of updates this year.

I don’t want to carelessly throw around the “U” word, but the 2021 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo deserves it.

Welcome to the next level of the domestic head-to-head battle.

The Volvo C40 Recharge is one of the more unique vehicles on the market. Not only is it one of the few all-electric small luxury SUVs on sale, but it comes in a swoopy coupe-like body style. A near mechanical twin to the more conventional XC40 Recharge, the C40 is one of the most outlandishly styled vehicles in Volvo’s lineup. 

Volvo’s compact sedan is one of the brand’s longest running nameplates. Two versions of the car are available that go from mild to wild. The entry level model matches the field of compact luxury cars head-on like the BMW 330i, Audi A4, Lexus IS 300, and Cadillac CT4. 

Volvo’s large sedan is different than many offerings from Germany, Japan, and America. For starters, it only comes with a choice of 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines. But don’t be fooled by the small displacement. The units are turbocharged and supercharged, and one is paired to a plug-in hybrid drivetrain that makes a total of 455 hp and 523 lb-ft. of torque. 

Volvo is one of the few manufacturers that still offers a compact luxury wagon. In fact, the brand is one of the few left to offer a wagon of any kind. The V60 only comes in one trim now, the top of the line Recharge with a 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged 4-cylinder mated to a plug-in hybrid.
