Top 3 Best Luxury SUV 2020 Introduce https://youtu.be/54lAgwAJ2vQ
The 2020 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid follows a simple recipe: take one part Cayenne Turbo, another part Cayenne E-Hybrid, and stir. The resulting dish is a monstrous concoction that marries the 541-horsepower twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 of the Turbo with the efficient and torque-rich 134-hp electric motor of the E-Hybrid to net a peak output of 670 horses. Even Dr. Frankenstein might think the Turbo S E-Hybrid is a bit much.
That’s not an ill-informed assessment, either, as the standard Cayenne Turbo offers more grunt than any crossover consumer reasonably needs. It’ll accelerate to 60 miles per hour in a manufacturer-claimed 3.7 seconds with launch control engaged and make its way on to a top speed of 177 mph. Those are Boxster-beating figures from a nearly two-and-a-half-ton mid-size crossover SUV. The Turbo S E-Hybrid, then, is less of a response to a white space in the high-performance crossover marketplace and more of an exercise in excess.
Now the Mercedes-Benz GLS sets an even higher standard, with a spectacularly redefined interior, increased intelligence, an electrified engine, and features that redefine luxury driving.
The new GLS presents a more imposing exterior, thanks to its larger dimensions. But for drivers and passengers, those inches really add up inside: The cabin has never been so comfortable, with the second row, especially, gaining even more ample room. All three rows of seat are fully adjustable electronically, with the Easy Entry function allowing convenient access to the third row. Five-zone automatic climate control invites passengers to tailor the temperature to their own individual preferences. And E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL creates a stable ride in any conditions.
The fluid interior design makes a modern statement, with a large media display commanding the dashboard. For the first time, the GLS has been equipped with the new MBUX infotainment system, allowing drivers to control the vehicle through natural voice commands or simple hand gestures. For the convenience of passengers, a 7-inch MBUX Android tablet can be used to control functions in the rear of the vehicle, and is stowed discreetly in the second-row console. (The driver, of course, can assume control at any time.)
Thanks in part to the new 4MATIC variable all-wheel drive, the GLS handles with more agility than ever, even as it’s more capable of taking things off-road. It’s the first Mercedes-Benz to introduce V8 and inline-6 engines enhanced with EQ Boost and a 48-volt electrical system. And when you’re ready to go from backroads to town, a new feature allows you to prepare for a car wash with one press of a button.
In short, this is the standard-bearing SUV thoroughly improved in exceptional ways — including some you probably never imagined. For updates and availability, please contact your dealer.
Since the BMW X6 was launched, naysayers have denounced the genre-bending design as impractical and even pointless. Dubbed a “Sports Activity Coupe,” the X6 threw out the checklist of what makes a good utility vehicle and instead aimed to provide a sportier appearance, personality and overall experience. Now, more than a decade later, BMW has proven to be more trailblazer than outcast, as multiple competing (and non-competing) brands have launched their own versions of what are now known as “crossover coupes.” As an all-new, third-generation model, the 2020 BMW X6 doubles down on its core philosophies and improves in nearly every way.
Although bookended by the six-cylinder 40i models below and X6 M model above, we had access to the X6 M50i powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 that makes 523 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. That's a massive improvement of 78 horsepower and 73 lb-ft of torque from the previous V8-powered X6. With a curb weight of 5,115 pounds, the new M50i is significantly heavier than the 4,784-pound, six-cylinder xDrive40i, but its quick-twitch demeanor off the line, taut suspension, and light steering hide that fact. The twin-turbo V8 cranks out gobs of power readily available across the rev range, thanks to a consistently decisive and accurate eight-speed transmission standard on every X6.
Throttle tip-in is early, steady and even, and a full stab will snuggle the driver into the seatback. BMW’s official 0-to-60-mph claim is 4.1 seconds. With “manual” mode activated, sturdy paddle shifters call upon calm, quick shifts. An aggressive but contained soundtrack alerts passengers and passersby of something feisty under the hood and exudes the X6's intended impression.
