The top speed is limited to 250km/h (155mph) and the starting price is $76,000.

Bentley has updated their flagship SUV to provide an even more sophisticated experience. The newer version takes the level of sophistication to a whole another level and features some visible changes, though, the level of comfort and luxury remains the same which was already superb. Three main engine options are offered with this posh vehicle.
One is a 4L V8 that pumps out 550hp and the second one is the flagship W12 engine that has an output of 635hp, plenty enough to reach a top speed of 190mph (306 km/h).

Range Rover SV Autobiography
Land Rover is known worldwide for its classy SUVs and no other manufacturer can claim more expertise in this field than Land Rover. The 2021 Range Rover SVAutobiography falls nothing short of any high-end SUV out there, in fact, it also combines luxury with superb off-roading capability. The top of the line Range Rover is powered by a supercharged 5.0L V8 engine that produces a commendable output of 557hp, good enough for a top speed of 150 mph (241 km/h).
The SVAutobiography infuses sporty dynamics and creates a better choice for people who wanted an upscale Range Rover that can compete with other luxury SUVs. The price for the British icon starts at around $178,500 which is an agreeable price considering the tech it contains.
Rolls Royce Cullinan
If there is one SUV that can successfully define luxury and class at the same time, then it would be none other than the famous Rolls Royce Cullinan. Everything has been crafted with special care and attention which adds a premium touch to it. Some unique features include electric doors, a starlight headliner, and twin retractable seats in the trunk that allow you to enjoy nature wherever you go.
The RR Cullinan gets a gigantic 6.75L twin-turbo V12 powerplant that produces an output of 570hp which should be enough to pull this behemoth of an SUV easily. Top speed is limited to 250km/h (155 mph) & 0-60mph time is recorded at 4.8 seconds. The price starts at $340,000 which can shoot up manifolds depending upon the custom options.
Genesis GV 80
The 2021 Genesis GV80 is the result of a South Korean automaker’s first attempt at making an SUV and they have exceeded the expectations. It is essentially a high-ride version of the well-known G80 sedan and is capable of accommodating seven people thanks to its third-row seating. The SUV distinguishes itself from others by providing a supreme traveling experience at a relatively affordable price point.
The GV80 is available in two engine options, the “less powerful” one is the 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder that delivers 300hp.

Cadillac Escalade
The 2021 Cadillac Escalade is America’s own full-size luxury SUV that is packed full of awesome features. The behemoth of an SUV is equipped with whole a lot of tech, but its massive 38-inch curved driver’s display is the most standout feature. Moreover, there are welcoming lights all around the vehicle, some of them even do a cool dance upon unlocking or entering the vehicle.
Such a gigantic SUV needs a lot of power to move out of its place. Though the 6.2L V8 engine is a bit underpowered and provides only 420hp. This is partly the reason why the top speed is only 130 mph(209 km/h). The price for the 2021 model is set at nearly $77,500.
Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600
The 2021 Mercedes Maybach GLS 600 is the German version of the Rolls Royce Cullinan.

Moreover, the SUV also welcomes you with a retractable sidestep whenever you unlock it. The Maybach GLS 600 runs on a 4L twin-turbo V8 that generates 558hp and 730Nm of torque. This should be enough for a top speed of 130 mph (209km/h) and a 0-60mph time of 4.9 seconds. The limousine-styled SUV has a base price of $160,500 which of course does not include any optional extras.
