After teasing us on several occasions in camo wrap, Range Rover has now fully revealed its very special Sport model, the SVR.

A while back, Land Rover announced a partnership with spacecraft maker Virgin Galactic, but we really wondered what possible way the two companies might actually work together. While we’re still not sure exactly what they’ve got up their sleeves beyond co-marketing, these videos give us insight into the similarities between automotive and aerospace design and engineering.

KIA has begun teasing a newly redesigned third-generation Sorento SUV. The teaser images and the behind-the-scenes video showing the design sketches for the new model reveal quite a bit about the new SUV’s styling. The oversized, split five-spoke wheels indicate a much wider stance to the vehicle, with a sweeping rear spoiler and what appear to be new LED taillights.

If you’re in the market for a small crossover SUV but aren’t looking for some boring grocery hauler, look no further than the Audi Q3 now that aftermarket tuner ABT Sportsline has gotten their hands on it.

While much of the recent focus on Porsche’s SUV line has been on the Macan, its bigger brother is still going strong, and is getting some love for the 2015 model year. The updated model not only gets a number of visual enhancements, but will offer improved engines and one wholly new model.

Volvo hasn’t yet revealed the entirety of its all-new XC90 SUV, but we have seen details on the vehicle’s new interior and technologies and 400hp powertrain options. Volvo has returned with yet more information on the upcoming model, including views of the vehicle’s parking assist feature, traffic alerts, the 360 degree surround view, and the safety of the new body structure.

The new BMW X6 is a pretty stunning crossover-styled sportscar in its own right, but when Lumma Design gets their hands on the X6 it’s transformed into a much more aggressive, widebody beast that would look right at home on any track. 

While we first saw the Land Rover Discovery Vision back in April, the company just published one of the more interesting conceptual videos showing off the vehicle’s prospective features. Land Rover is proposing a new set of human-machine interfaces for the vehicle that would use gesture control for much of its interaction.

Volkswagen CEO Marin Winterkorn has announced plans to produce a new 3-row, 7-seat SUV for the U.S. The as-yet-to-be-named large SUV will be manufactured at VW’s Chattanooga, Tennessee factory, and will arrive as a 2016 model, based on the CrossBlue concept, which it first showed off back in 2013.

Volvo continues to tease consumers with details of its all-new XC90 SUV, recently releasing details on the vehicle’s new interior and technologies and now lifting the hood, so to speak, on the powertrain options for Volvo’s flagship SUV.

Here’s a teaser for this week’s new episode of History’s Top Gear, in which Tanner Foust, Adam Ferrara and Rutledge Wood must choose a brand new family vehicle to prove that you can have performance and a grocery hauler in one.

This Latvian vehicle is like a Hummer on steroids. Designed with the wealthiest and most ostentatious of sorts in mind, this over-the-top SUV even made an appearance in the Sacha Baron Cohen movie, The Dictator. In goldtone chrome, no less.
