Market trends over the last few years have shown that crossovers and SUVs have been getting hugely popular. Thus, a lot of car manufacturers have been developing some of the best versions of their SUV models in years. Of course, the best SUVs never compromise on luxury for performance, and vice-versa. In fact, with added electrification in many powertrains, most SUVs today have become more frugal than ever before when it comes to fuel consumption as well. Manufacturers are now locked in a race of launching the most advanced and state-of-the-art SUVs, and the clear winners are the customers.

It is no secret that European marques are the kings of the hill when it comes to automotive luxury, and the case is no different in the SUV department either. However, American car-makers aren't far behind either, with some iconic SUVs that are the epitome of powerful luxury. Thus, let's take a look at 10 of the best, most luxurious SUVs in the market today, which combine lavish features with unparalleled luxury.
