Let us introduce you to the new king of luxury SUVs. This is the Range Rover Velar. Ranger Rover has been with us for 48 years, and in that time Land Rover has introduced only three basic models, namely the original, the Range Rover Evoque and the Range Rover Sport. Now the legendary series got a youngster. The Velar falls between the latter two. Its main rivals on the market will be the Porsche Macan im BMW X6.

The first SUV of the premium DS brand of the PSA group, the DS7 Crossback, will be a direct competitor to the Audi Q3 and Mercedes GLA sports utility vehicle.

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!
Citroën will bring the Citroën C-aircross SUV concept to the Geneva Motor Show, which, following last year's Citroën Aircross concept, heralds the imminent arrival of a small SUV from this popular French brand. If last year's concept was based on the C4 Cactus model, this set of puckered "lips" is based on the new C3.
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.
Opel Crossland X is the next crossover that buried the minivan. His 'victim' is the Opel Meriva. The family-oriented small crossover will be dimensionally comparable to the Opel Mokka. It will be joined by the Grandland X later this year. In addition to the aforementioned pair, Opel will introduce three new SUV models by 2020.
Audi brought the Audi Q8 concept to the Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS 2017), which heralds the imminent release of a production car. A plug-in hybrid that flirts with the elegance of a coupe and pays homage to the legendary Ur-quattro model will hit the roads in 2018. The Audi Q8 will be the new flagship of the brand from Ingolstadt and, judging by what has been seen, it will more than justify its status.
Volkswagen kept its promise and presented a larger version of the Tiguan at the Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS 2017) – the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace, which is 21.5 centimeters longer than the classic Tiguan and can carry seven passengers. In Slovenia, the medium-sized SUV will be available in September 2017.
Audi will premiere the Audi Q8 study at the Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS 2017), a sports SUV with coupe genes. It inherited the elegance from the latter, and the characteristic spaciousness from the SUV. It is the harbinger of a new segment of vehicles in the higher car class.
The new Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace, an extended version of the Tiguan, is coming. Volkswagen will bring the seven-seater beauty, which will be 22 centimeters longer than the five-seater, to the 2017 NAIAS North American International Auto Show.
