Today, it's safe to say that SUVs are ruling the car market. In fact, according to a report from Reuters, sales for SUVs rose again last August. Specifically, it went up by as much as 20.1 percent, as more and more car buyers shifted their preference from traditional passenger cars to SUVs and pickup trucks.

Indeed, today is a very good time for carmakers that are offering SUVs. And Ford's very own head of US Marketing Mark LaNeve has told Reuters, "The overall health of the consumer is very strong right now, which provides a solid base for our industry."

Even better, it seems that demand isn't slowing down anytime soon. In fact, according to a press release by Markets and Markets, it is predicted that the global SUV market will reach as much as 30.2 million units by the year 2020. Meanwhile, automotive market intelligence company LMC Automotive has predicted that SUVs can occupy as much as 50 percent of all car sales in the U.S. by 2020. In addition, it is also believed that SUVs will end up occupying as much as 40 percent of the global car market by the year 2025.

Indeed, it looks like SUVs are here to stay. It’s no wonder that more and more people are playing with the idea of developing more SUVs in the near future. For some, though, these SUVs don’t have to start as an original concept. Instead, they can be based on some of the most popular car models today. Just check out some of the cars that have already been re-imagined as SUVs.

25 Lamborghini Huracán

The Lamborghini Huracán is one supercar that means business on the road. Today, the Huracán Coupe is powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine that can effortlessly crank out 602 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and 413 pound-feet of torque at 6,500 rpm. It can go from 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 3.2 seconds. Moreover, it’s got a top speed of 201 miles per hour. Indeed, the Huracán is a beautiful beast. And at some point, someone took notice and decided to imagine this car as an SUV. We think it might just work.

24 Volkswagen Beetle

Without a doubt, the Volkswagen Beetle is one of the most iconic cars around today. After all, the Bug has been around for as long as 80 years. Sadly, however, the production of the Beetle will be ending in 2019, according to a report from Forbes. Nonetheless, fans of the Bug are celebrating their love for the car today by imagining it as an SUV. Today’s Beetle is powered by a 2.0-liter turbo engine that can readily deliver 174 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. We’re guessing this would work if the Beetle were to be transformed into a crossover.

23 McLaren 720

The McLaren 720 is a respected supercar. Under its hood is a 4.0-liter V8 engine that can deliver 710 brake horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque. This car also has a top speed of 212 miles per hour. What’s more, it can readily go from 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 2.9 seconds. With a car being this powerful, some can’t help but wonder what it would be like to transform the 720 into an SUV. In fact, that’s exactly what the Jennings Motor Group did. However, it seems that McLaren has no future SUV plans.

22 Ferrari 488

Ferrari has long been teasing about coming up with its very own SUV. However, it will be classified as an FUV or a Ferrari Utility Vehicle. According to a report from Car Buzz, it could be known as the Purosangue and it might have a hybrid option. Moreover, the Purosangue is expected to be unveiled in 2022. For now, the Jennings Motor Group has decided to imagine the Ferrari 488 as an incredible SUV. The Ferrari 488GTB is powered by a 3.9-liter V8 engine that can generate 661 horsepower at 8,000 rpm. Indeed, this would do well in an SUV.

21 Acura NSX

The Acura NSX has always been a popular sports car. And the idea of turning it into an SUV is pretty awesome. If this were to happen, we are confident that the NSX’s current power unit would most likely be retained. After all, it’s already using a 3.5-liter V6 engine that can readily crank out 500 horsepower from 6,500 to 7,500 rpm and 406 pound-feet of torque from 2,000 to 6,000 rpm. We’re guessing that this engine is already powerful enough to mount on an SUV.

20 Chevrolet Camaro

The Camaro is an iconic sports car that has been around for several years. And at some point, Chevrolet must have thought about doing more with this car. Specifically, making an SUV version of it. According to a report from Motor 1, buzz about this started when a Chevy dealer had gone online and claimed that there was a “performance-electric vehicle that is in development.” The dealer even added that it looks like a crossover. In addition, the report also hinted that the Camaro electric SUV would not have four doors. Hence, expect to see something with a sporty feel.

19 Ford Mustang

According to reports, it was Ford’s plans to develop an SUV based on its Mustang that had triggered the rumored development of a Chevy Camaro SUV. For some time now, Ford has been teasing fans with this latest Mustang development. The word is that this upcoming car would be an electric SUV coupe. Today, not much is being said about this project. Earlier in the year, though, Ford had suggested the idea of calling it “Mach 1.” However, fans did not seem to appreciate the name so it looks like that would be changed.

18 BMW i8

The BMW i8 is definitely for someone who is determined to conquer the road. The 2019 model of this electric car is using an 11.6-kWh lithium-ion battery alongside a 1.5-liter BMW TwinPower engine that together can deliver 369 horsepower. What’s more, this car can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.2 to 4.4 seconds. Indeed, the BMW i8 is for anyone looking to drive fast. And for some i8 fans, it also makes sense to transform it into an SUV. According to the BMW Blog, that’s exactly what the Jennings Motor Group did, and it looks awesome.

17 Mercedes-Benz Coupe

Over the years, Mercedes-Benz has produced some incredible coupes, so it only made sense that Mercedes-Benz would eventually use its coupe as inspiration for creating a new SUV. Mercedes-Benz has referred to the project as the Concept GLC Coupé. As the carmaker has described, “The dynamically expressive show car combines typical stylistic features of a coupé with the sensually pure design idiom of coming SUV generations. This emotively appealing fusion is further enriched with details that are strong in character.”

16 Mercedes-Maybach

The Mercedes-Maybach is a sedan that is known for unparalleled luxury. It’s a car with just about everything you want, including power. Recently, Mercedes-Benz unveiled an all-electric SUV concept known as “the Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury.” As Daimler AG Chief Design Officer Gorden Wagener has told Electrek, this SUV is “a totally new archetype of a kind never seen before.” He also added, “Our concept combines the DNA of an SUV with that of a saloon to produce an ultra-modern SUV of three-box design.”

15 Bentley Mulsanne

The Bentley Mulsanne is one luxury car that’s practically got it all. In fact, we’re talking about a car that can come with electrically deployable tablets as well as lambswool rugs in the front and rear of the car. Basically, it’s a car that can give you anything. And so it makes sense to assume that the Mulsanne can also become anything, including an SUV. Perhaps, this is what inspired one artist to reimagine the Mulsanne as an SUV. And as you can see, it looks incredible.

14 Bugatti Chiron

The Bugatti Chiron has long been a sports car that could easily turn heads. From the way it looks to how it sounds, everything about it is fascinating. Aside from the design, what sets the Chiron apart is its power. We’re talking about an 8.0-liter engine that can crank out 1,500 horsepower and an estimated 1,180 pound-feet of torque. With all this might, it would make sense to transform the Chiron into an SUV. And that’s exactly what Rain Prisk did in one rendering, according to Top Speed. We must say, it’s a gorgeous beast.

13 Rolls-Royce Ghost

Today, luxury carmaker Rolls-Royce already has a stunning SUV in the market. However, that has not stopped Ares Performance from imagining another one of its cars as an SUV—specifically, the Ghost. For us, we believe the idea could work. This is considering that the Ghost is powered by a 6.6-liter, twin-turbo V12 engine that could deliver as much as 563 horsepower at 5,250 rpm and 605 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm, according to The Car Connection. Hence, you’re looking at a pretty powerful SUV.

12 Aston Martin V12 Vantage

The Aston Martin V12 Vantage is pretty much a classic. According to a report from Auto Evolution, the car was designed by Henrik Fisker back in 2005. Today, this car is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine that is capable of producing 510 horsepower. The 2018 model year represents the end of the line for the V12 Vantage. And some fans of the car have decided to celebrate it by transforming it into an SUV. Based on a rendering done by the Jennings Motor Group, it seems a V12 Vantage SUV would be a good idea.

11 Mitsubishi Mirage

At present time, the Mitsubishi Mirage remains a super-mini car. It's practical if you are looking for something reliable and fuel efficient. Recently though, there's been talk of transforming the Mirage into a subcompact SUV. According to a report from Car Scoops, it may be powered by a 0.9-liter engine which can generate around 95 horsepower. And based on the illustrations, it seems the plan is to build a car that communicates with you by using a front and rear mask. For instance, it would flash an emoticon for you to be able to spot the car more easily.

10 Toyota Yaris

Without a doubt, the Toyota Yaris is a well-known car model. Consumers tend to view it as a very practical option. What’s more, the 2019 Yaris has a pretty low starting price of $15,450 for the sedan variant and $15,635 for the hatchback Yaris Liftback. With the Yaris’ popularity, it was only inevitable that someone would try to create an SUV concept for this car. And if this will be done in the future, Toyota may choose to keep the same power unit that the Yaris has now. That is, a 1.5-liter engine that delivers 106 horsepower and 103 pound-feet of torque.

9 Toyota Prius

The Toyota Prius has been on the market for quite some time now. And when it comes to market response, people generally love it or hate it. That said, it’s worth noting that there are a lot of celebrities who have been spotted driving around in their Prius. These include the likes of Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts, Demi Moore, Harrison Ford, Matt Damon, Will Ferrell, and so many more. At some point, Prius fans have also decided to imagine the Prius as an SUV. If you think about it, its body is perfect for an SUV since it’s already bulky.

8 Ford Fiesta

The Ford Fiesta is absolutely one of the most popular cars from Ford today. The Fiesta may not be the most spacious cars around, but it’s definitely perfect for someone who is single or just about to start a family. Without a doubt, the Fiesta would definitely be a good SUV. And if that were to actually happen, there’s a good chance that Ford would stick with its existing 1.6-liter Ti-VCT inline-four engine, which can deliver 120 horsepower and 112 pound-feet of torque.

7 Ford Focus

You can think of the Ford Focus as the Fiesta’s older brother. The Focus is definitely bigger and moreover, it also tends to be more powerful. And that's not to mention, it’s got a bit more of a sportier feel. Today, the Focus is available in both sedan and hatchback body styles. And as a reimagined SUV, somebody has definitely used the hatchback body for inspiration. If Ford were to make an SUV that’s inspired by a Focus, we are guessing it would retain its 2.0-liter Ti-VCT inline-four engine, which can deliver 160 horsepower and 146 pound-feet of torque.

6 Volkswagen Polo

The Volkswagen Polo has long been a reliable car model for German automaker Volkswagen. And so, it comes as no surprise that Volkswagen would develop an SUV using the Polo. That is reportedly how they came up with the T-Cross. It is the smallest SUV that Volkswagen has ever introduced to the market. For the T-Cross, there are a number of engine choices, according to a report from Car Wow. There’s a 1.0-liter petrol engine that produces 95 horsepower. Then, there is also another 1.0-liter engine that produces 115 horsepower. And finally, there’s a 1.5-liter engine that produces 150 horsepower.
