Anytime someone asks you to name the most bad-ass looking car you’ve ever seen, most likely the answer is going to be some kind of SUV. They’re just that good. Sitting in one just automatically gives you the feeling of being invincible. Rugged aggressive looks, powerful engines and the capability to go almost anywhere is what makes this type of car the one to look out for.
2018 saw its fair bit of SUV action. From Lamborghini to Mercedes, almost every car maker brought their A game. Scroll down the list below to see our picks for the best SUV’s in 2018:
Mercedes AMG G63
The Mercedes G-Wagon has always been one of the top bosses of the SUV world and is infamous for it’s boxy design and fast engine. The G-Wagons are always known for their off-road capabilities, but Mercedes also wanted it to be faster. So, they decided to kick it up a notch and put the AMG twist on it. It still retains the same GNA (not a typo) from its predecessors. The G63 isn’t best suited for urban roads in terms of driving quality but it is at its absolute best when its off one.

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
When you talk about SUV’s, you have to talk about Jeep. They’ve been in the off-road vehicle game for a long time and have taken the Jeep name to a legendary status. The Cherokee could have also made the list but the Wrangler is just too true of an off-roader and so it made the list. The Wrangler has many variants to choose from, but the Rubicon may just be it’s most rugged one yet. This truly is bred for no road perfection.

Audi Q5
Audi’s Q series has always been associated with the refined luxury class of SUV’s and the Q5 sits right in the middle of the Q7 and Q3 and has achieved that perfect balance of performance and luxury. The car isn’t the best SUV to take out on rough roads as it is much more suited for those smooth city tar paved roads.

Range Rover Sport
Land Rover unveiled their new 2018 rendition to the Range Rover Sport and it was much needed. The car offers you luxury but still promises that range rover ruggedness that’s made them what they are today. The Range Rover Sport is definitely the biggest threat to the Audi Q5 and the Porsche Cayenne.

Lamborghini Urus
You can’t have a best SUV list and not have the world’s fastest SUV, the Urus, be a part of it. The SUV is Lamborghini’s first SUV and it’s safe to say, they absolutely nailed it. This car, with its super aggressive styling mixed with Lamborghini’s refined cockpit interiors, makes it perfect to play around with on rough terrains as well as urban roads.
