Luxury automotive magnates approach the modern performance SUV in quite different ways, demonstrating the combination of speed with everyday usability without compromising on identity.
Genesis GV60 Magma
High-performance electric motoring takes on an expressive new character in the Genesis GV60 Magma. A widened track and a 20 mm lower ride height give the vehicle a grounded stance, complemented by 21-inch forged alloy wheels. Engaging Boost Mode unlocks 478 kW (650 PS) and 790 Nm of torque across both axles, propelling the crossover from rest to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. A virtual eight-speed system provides tactile simulated gear shifts to heighten driver engagement alongside bespoke chassis damping. The cabin pairs dark finishes with suede upholstery, sustaining a purposeful driving environment free from unnecessary visual clutter.
Lotus Eletre 900
A fully electric hyper-SUV marks a bold new chapter for the Norfolk marque, taking the Lotus Eletre 900 far beyond the lightweight philosophy that defined its origins. Dual electric motors deliver 675 kW (918 PS) and 985 Nm of torque to all four wheels. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 2.95 seconds, with a two-speed rear transmission sustaining rapid progress at higher speeds. Active air suspension and rear-wheel steering effectively manage its substantial footprint, ensuring sharp cornering response. Aerodynamic channels thread airflow directly through the bodywork, translating track-tested airflow management into a road-going platform.
Range Rover Sport SV Black
Stealth-inspired styling meets rigorous chassis engineering in the Range Rover Sport SV Black. Finished in Narvik Black with gloss-black accents, the exterior features an exposed carbon-fibre bonnet that deepens the monochrome treatment. Power comes from a 4.4-litre twin-turbo mild-hybrid V8 generating 635 PS and 750 Nm of torque, covering 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. The marque’s 6D Dynamics hydraulic suspension actively manages pitch and roll, keeping the vehicle composed under assertive cornering. Inside, sensory Body and Soul Seats transmit audio vibrations directly through the seat frame without disturbing the calm cabin environment.
Aston Martin DBX S
This model builds on traditional grand-touring proportions whilst sharpening mechanical intensity. Beneath the bonnet, a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 produces 727 PS and 900 Nm of torque, taking the five-seat SUV from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds. Turbocharger technology derived from the Valhalla programme enhances power delivery, while optional magnesium wheels and a carbon-fibre roof shed unsprung mass. Exterior revisions bring an assertive edge to the familiar profile. A reprofiled grille amplifies front-end presence, balanced at the rear by vertically stacked quad exhausts that preserve classic Aston Martin lines.
