SUVs : Car News And Reviews

While I’m not sure if we’ll see much use of the SRT name outside of Dodge anymore, that hasn’t stopped Jeep from releasing another badass iteration of its Grand Cherokee, badged with the SRT moniker. The most powerful production Jeep, the SRT has a huge 6.4-liter V8 HEMI engine capable of outputting 475 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft.

Suzuki has revived the Vitara name with the upcoming debut of the all-new Suzuki Vitara at the 2014 Paris Motor Show in October. But prior to that, the Japanese automaker has released a teaser image and an accompanying video.

After teasing us with a toy version of the SUV, Land Rover has finally revealed the new 2015 Discovery Sport along with full specs and pricing. The new vehicle was revealed at Spaceport America, Virgin Galactic’s U.S.

We saw a teaser image of Chevrolet Niva Concept SUV previously and now the vehicle has officially been unveiled at the Moscow International Motor Show. The second generation Niva won’t be brought to the U.S., but is the replacement for the existing first-gen Niva built as a result of the joint venture in Russia between General Motors and AvtoVAZ.

Industrial designer Ismet Çevik created an exceptional concept design for the currently fictitious Audi Q8 crossover SUV. With a vision to creating a new Audi that would be capable in the city as well as off road, he’s taken the Audi design to an extreme.

The paint isn’t even dry yet on the new Porsche Macan, and Russian tuning house TopCar has already worked their styling magic on Porsche’s sporty compact SUV – with great success. TopCar’s Ursa body accessories for the Macan include aero and styling components which swap out the front bumper, front spoiler, side skirts, rear spoiler and rear bumper, as well as adding carbon fiber side skirts and hood inserts.

Although Volvo hasn’t yet officially lifted the curtain on its all-new flagship Volvo XC90, the first gallery of official images has been leaked, so we can finally see the new vehicle in its entirety. The full-sized SUV retains some of the design cues and lines from the Concept XC Coupé, but with a more subdued approach all around.

OK, we admit that Land Rover hasn’t really leaked any images of the actual 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport. What we have seen are these purportedly official scale models of the cars. We’re all waiting to see the full-size vehicles unveiled, but we can see from these tiny versions that the Discovery Sport bears more than a passing resemblance to the Land Rover Discovery Vision Concept, as well as the camouflage teaser footage that Land Rover published a few weeks back: The production vehicle doesn’t appear to have the rear doors that open backwards, as we saw on the Concept, but it appears to have the forward-swept C-pillars, a newly styled front end, with what might be the first appearance of Land Rover laser headlights (although probably not in the U.S.),

The rugged and iconic Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series went out of release in Japan in 2004, but apparently there’s been enough demand for the 4×4 that Toyota will be bringing back the truck in limited quantities to celebrate its 30th anniversary.

With 67-year-long production run of the Land Rover Defender coming to an end in 2015 (due to “legislative reasons”), you might just want to snatch up one of these special limited-edition models, built to honor the Defender’s long heritage of exploration.

The Cadillac Escalade garners its fair share of criticism for being one of the largest passenger vehicles on the streets today, but it continues to have loyal followers and there is still no substitute for motoring down the road in a car that’s bigger than just about everything around you.

The KiraVan Expedition Vehicle is based on a heavily modified Mercedes-Benz Unimog. And it makes your puny Unimog look like a toy while it laughs at your cute Toyota Hilux 6×6 Antarctic Expedition Vehicle. This awesome vehicle has a crazy amount of technology at the ready, from the cabin of the tractor back to the luxurious, tech-laden accommodations of the trailer.

Chevrolet has started teasing the Niva Concept SUV, which will be headed to the Russian market beginning in 2016, prior to its official unveiling at the Moscow International Motor Show. The second generation Niva won’t be brought to the U.S.,

When he posted these images to his site today, automotive manipulator Theophilus Chin wrote: “I have no word to describe this set of renderings. I don’t even know if I like them. Actually I think I like them.

Volvo seems to be stretching out the full reveal of its all-new XC90 SUV just about as long as possible. We’re expecting to see Volvo’s flagship full-size SUV at a special event in Stockholm, Sweden near the end of August.
