Before the start of the Geneva Motor Show, Land Rover released a photo of its new Range Rover Velar SUV, with which it enters a new car class. At Land Rover, they call it the avant-garde Range Rover, as it represents new dimensions of glamor and elegance.

The Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet represents the very top of the G-class range. A total of 99 examples will be produced in Arnold Schwarzenegger's hometown of Graz, but despite the high price - around half a million euros - all of them have already found their buyers. As many as 621 horses were harnessed to the prestigious four-seater on high heels at the Magna Steyr factory!
One comes across a Porsche more rarely. We usually see it on highways or parked somewhere, maybe on some pass. Definitely not off the beaten path. If you've ever wondered what the Porsche 918 Spyder would look like as an off-roader, now you have the answer.
Mitsubishi is preparing the Eclipse crossover. This comes from the XR-PHEV II study, which predicts bold design lines. The Japanese will present it at the Geneva Motor Show.
Subaru can't complain about the sales of its SUVs, but it hasn't introduced a large SUV since 2012, when it sent the Tribeca off the assembly line. The next giant is heralded by the Subaru VIZIV-7 SUV concept, a seven-seater SUV that Subaru presented at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The production model will be the largest Subaru to date.
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio is Alfa Romeo's first SUV. It got its name from the famous Stelvio road pass, a 'pilgrimage center' for cyclists and motorcyclists. It is considered a road that everyone must travel at least once in their life. One way or another. Time will tell if it lives up to its famous name, and the Alfa promises the best driving characteristics among premium SUVs. The body is light, the center of gravity is low, and the chassis offers plenty of driving dynamics. There will be three versions, the most sporty, the Quadrifoglio, will have more than 500 horses! With it, Alfa challenged its German rivals.
This is the new Mazda CX-5, even sexier and even redder. Mazda presented the second generation of its CX-5 SUV, which is its best-selling model on the old continent, at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It is now slightly shorter and even friendlier to the driver and other passengers.
The Ranger Rover all-terrain vehicle is rarely, if ever, stopped. She is up to any challenge, no matter how difficult. But paper can withstand anything, so stunt driver Ben Collins - the first Stig from Top Gear - put the promise of the Ranger Rover Sport to the test in practice. And I couldn't have picked a more difficult terrain. With the SUV, he also went down the ski slope in Mürren, Switzerland, one of the most picturesque ski resorts where Wengen is located, where the spectacular ski tests on the Lauberhorn slope are held, thus demonstrating the incredible capabilities of the vehicle in the best possible way.
The Volkswagen Atlas is an SUV and a half. In fact, it measures five meters in length (!), which makes it currently Volkswagen's largest passenger vehicle. With the 7-seater SUV, the largest European manufacturer is attacking the American, Russian, Chinese and Middle Eastern markets. It will premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Urban nomads are strange creatures. They want everything in life! Comfort, sportiness, extravagance, technologies... and urbanity. The Seat Ateca promises exactly this combination in a car that goes beyond its limits.
Lexus, too, will apparently add its sizzle to the fast-growing segment of small SUVs. The Lexus UX is a bold vision of the future of compact SUVs, presented by the prestigious Toyota brand at the Paris Motor Show. It marks a new step in the brand's design, and the entry-level crossover is expected to appeal to both young buyers and buyers with deep pockets who want a functional interior and a car for an urban lifestyle.
The BMW X2 is still a concept at the Paris Motor Show, but it is already very conscientiously announcing a new member of the SUV family and will most likely make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. The BMW X2 is a sporty version of the X1 crossover, but it has moved away from it in terms of design. He also didn't rush after the X4 and X6 models, as he is more attracted to hatchbacks than coupes. "The concept shows a new and lively design aspect," commented the Bavarians.
