Luxury SUVs are arguably the most common vehicles seen on the road today. All too often, it is said that the sedan is dying, the wagon is never coming back, and that the crossovers are the future. While there are plenty of points here that can be skillfully argued against, one thing is for certain: the SUV is going nowhere.

While some luxury SUVs are most definitely aimed at those with very deep pockets, the segment isn't all defined by head-spinningly high price tags. Therefore, in the spirit of acceptance of the SUV's place in the modern automotive world, what follows is a list of ten of the best luxury SUVs currently for sale.

10 Mercedes G-Class

Capable, rugged, and yet refined, the Mercedes G-Class (or as it is often called G Wagon) is the height of SUV luxury. With a rich heritage both in the military world as well as the suburban dweller life, the G-Class is a tough choice to bet against in an arguably overcrowded full-size SUV market.

With these serious credentials, however, comes a serious price tag. That said, if you can afford it, the Mercedes G-Class is an outstanding and timeless SUV.

What would a list of SUV's be without a Range Rover? Made by Land Rover, the full-size Range Rover has a long history of luxury and opulence inside its cabin, but offroad credit to rival even the G Wagon as well.

While the full-size Range Rover doesn't exactly have a budget-friendly price tag, they are timeless vehicles. Most owners enjoy their history and tend to be owners who don't update their vehicles too often. If this sounds like you, a Range Rover could be a good bet.

8 Bentley Bentayga

The Bentley Bentayga has one of the most luxurious SUV interiors the world has ever seen. From customizable burlwood to rich and textured leathers, the Bentayga is a stand-out choice in the luxury SUV market.

And, while its price tag makes even a G- Class buyer tremble, the Bentayga offers a lot of bang for the buck and is an incredible SUV if one has the money.

Another SUV with offroad credit under its belt, the Toyota Landcruiser is the luxury SUV that one buys if they wish to keep it for a lifetime. Values on even used Landcruiers don't tend to drop much over time and there is a reason for that: they are universally agreed upon to be indestructible and scarily reliable.

While they are not priced cheaply, the Landcruiser could be worth the money since they do tend to last for thirty, forty, and even fifty years.

6 BMW X5

The BMW X5 is arguably the direct Euro competitor to the full-size Range Rover discussed above. The BMW X5 also has a relatively rich history, but it, more importantly, offers many of the same amenities as the Range Rover for about half of the cost.

While by no means a cheap SUV, the X5 holds its own and is comfortable and quiet to live with on a day-to-day basis. On top of that, it has plenty of room for a growing family and even the family dog.

The new Grand Cherokee offroading

Often referred to as the American Range Rover, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has a lot of character. Priced far more moderate than many of the other contenders on this list, the Grand Cherokee is as capable offroad as it is on the highway.

With a new and refreshed version of the Grand Cherokee coming next year, it could be a good option if offroading and highway driving are two common experiences in one's life.

4 Volvo XC90

The Volvo XC90, while often viewed as a left-field luxury SUV offering, is as capable as the rest of the SUVs on this list. While Volvo is often enjoyed and renowned for its tireless dedication to safety in its cars, the XC90 has three rows of seating, a stylish interior, and a timeless exterior to suit.

Like the Grand Cherokee, the XC90 is more moderately priced than many of the other options here but offers as much luxury as many much higher contenders.

3 Lexus RX

Toyota's own luxury brand, the Lexus RX is yet another tireless luxury SUV example. Reliable, tough, and luxurious, the Lexus RX is a gem of an SUV. While not updated very often, the RX retains its character on the road as a practical and stylish SUV choice.

Available in both normal and sporty trims, the RX offers good value for cost and according to many owners will last many years with minimal maintenance required.

2 Land Rover Defender

While many Defender owners of old will remember it as a bouncy and rough riding work vehicle, the new Defender has brought with it many available trims of luxuriousness. While these trims on the Defender cost much more than the base versions, they do offer a good amount of luxuriousness, all while retaining the offroad capabilities that Defender owners require and enjoy.

Pricing is a bit steep on these new Defenders, but they offer a lot to their potential owners. If heritage and ruggedness are important to you, the Land Rover Defender is about as good an option for an SUV as one can get.

The Range Rover Velar is arguably the prettiest model in the entire Land Rover lineup at present. Often described as a sort of hybrid between a Range Rover Evoque and a full-size Range Rover, the Velar is a capable and luxurious SUV.

Capable offroad and yet refined beyond most offroad vehicles, the Velar is a great option for those seeking a capable yet sporty SUV.
