The most powerful and nimble serial SUVs. Top 10.
I know, some are of the opinion that the power and throttle response of the engine for an SUV are not the most basic indicators. Like, when choosing an “all-terrain vehicle”, you need to pay attention, first of all, to clearance, low gear, to ensure that the engine is high-torque at the bottom, etc. How many people, so many opinions. You can comment on this. Automakers still strive to make engines more powerful, explaining this by the fact that off-road laws are the same as on ordinary road, and SUVs, like cars with a lower clearance, live on them. Which means than more power motor per unit weight, ceteris paribus, the better car is rolling.
And some manufacturers of all-terrain vehicles are generally obsessed with racing for horsepower. So, for example, Land Rover last weekend presented his "hot" novelty - Range Rover Sport SVR. Under the hood is a 5-liter V8, which was heated up to 40 hp. With. - up to 550 l. With. Torque is now 680 Nm, which is a plus of 56 Nm. Land Rover noted that range rover The Sport SVR is the fastest and most powerful Rover in their company's history. Its acceleration rate to “hundreds” is 4.5 s. And the maximum speed is 260 km / h. And this is not an isolated case of such a desire to make the SUV more powerful. The creators of premium buckets are engaged in such “injection” of horses. And that's what we have today.
The most powerful and fastest modern serial SUVs. Top 10.
Already 612 liters. With.! It is equipped with a 6-liter V12 bi-turbo engine. And acceleration to “hundreds” is a little weaker - 5.3 s. Maximum speed - 230 km / h.
BMW X6 M and BMW X5 M
Considered one of the most powerful in the world serial SUVs. Their 4.4-liter V8s produce 555 hp. With. The maximum torque is 680 Nm, it is available in a very wide speed range - from 1500 to 5650. The BMW X6 M and BMW X5M will drive up to “hundreds” in 4.7 seconds, up to two in 16.9 seconds, maximum - 250 km/h (electronic limitation, for a surcharge you can get an increase of 25 km/h).
Also more modest than the Bavarians. Has 550 liters. With. (750 Nm). Under the hood is a 4.8-liter V8 twin-turbo (750 Nm). 100 km / h is reached in 4.5 seconds, the maximum speed is 283 km / h.
We have already talked about it, we repeat that under the hood is a 5-liter V8 that produces 550 hp. With. (680 Nm). The acceleration to “hundreds” is 4.5 s. And the maximum speed is 260 km / h. It is also worth adding that the other day at the legendary Nürburgring, he also issued impressive result- completed the course in 8 minutes. 14 p. So, bypassed Lexus IS-F, BMW 1-series M coupe, Porsche Cayman S and other famous cars.
Here is a V8 with 510 hp. With. 100 km / h - in 6.2 s. The maximum speed is 200 km/h.
Also 500 l. With. The car is equipped with a 6-liter V-12 diesel turbodiesel. The mark "one hundred" is overcome in 5.5 s. The maximum speed is limited at around 250 km / h.
This is the most powerful Jeep among all Jeeps. It was introduced in 2011 at the New York Auto Show, and went on sale in 2012. The car is equipped with a 6.4-liter V8 engine, the power of which is 420 hp. With. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 4.8 seconds. Maximum - 255 km / h. The motor has also become more economical by 13% compared to its predecessor. Achieved this indicator due to systems automatic shutdown cylinders, with a small load and reconfiguring the exhaust system. On one tank, STR8 can travel 720 km.
At the penultimate step of the “tens” is a Japanese. It boasts a 400-horsepower unit. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h is given to him in 5.8 seconds. Maximum speed - 250 km / h.
And the weakest in our TOP is the Dodge Durango R/T. It has a 5.7-liter V8 engine with a modest 380 hp. Its acceleration to “hundreds” is 7 s.
Here they are heavy, powerful and fast. If we missed something, write about it in the comments.

Each described car deserves the title of the most powerful SUV. But at the same time they are of little use for extreme trips. And in conditions of eroded ground or trips through deep snow slurry, they can easily get stuck on the track.
The most powerful jeep: rating of the best "all-terrain vehicles"
Powerful jeep - best buy for connoisseurs of high-speed trips on any roads. Unlike conventional crossovers, the models below boast excellent cross-country ability. Among the leaders are the following representatives:

The interior trim is made of black leather, the seats are decorated with bright red stitching.
» includes a cross-country vehicle that has four-wheel drive, high ground clearance and roomy interior and trunk. Thus, under an SUV, most motorists mean vehicle With cross-country ability. The criteria for evaluation are quality, reliability, equipment and functionality, as well as driving properties - the type of drive, gearbox and engine, and the characteristics of the latter.
At the same time, engine power is almost never the main criterion. This is justified, because for sufficient traction an SUV does not need a large rated power - a specific one is needed, which is formed by several parameters. Manufacturers recognized in the mass market correspond to the idea of \u200b\u200bSUVs, producing cars with downshift, high ground clearance, and most importantly - the highest possible build quality and reliability.
However, there are companies that, in the production of SUVs, try to equip them with the largest number of Horse power. These include both engineering companies and tuning studios. Such cars are aimed at connoisseurs of high power in combination with a massive presentable body of a jeep or crossover. First of all, such motorists look at the number of "horses" under the hood - and only then at the price and other characteristics. For them produced luxury SUVs luxury class, which can boast not only big power, but also presentable design and expensive equipment.
Such cars for their owners are not only transport, but also a way of self-expression, declaring their taste and wealth. Rich customers compete among themselves, whose SUV has more advanced performance. Among the most powerful jeeps and crossovers, as in any segment, there are clear leaders - objects of desire for wealthy lovers of high power.
Rating of the ten most powerful SUVs
The modern market for powerful jeeps and crossovers offers a fairly large range of models available for purchase. It is noteworthy that many SUVs are produced in limited quantities, as they are not initially focused on a wide market, or the manufacturer wants to artificially increase demand. Usually the most powerful cars segment can boast not only driving performance, but also with rich equipment and expensive materials - they turn into real masterpieces of the automotive industry.
Choosing an SUV is a serious undertaking, during which all the qualities of a car should be weighed. In the case when the buyer has a rather large budget and wants to buy a jeep or crossover, he should take a closer look at more powerful models than the average. will allow not only to overcome more steep obstacles but also to gain a solid position in society. The rating of the most powerful jeeps and crossovers illustrates the best specimens in this market.
Mercedes Benz G 55 Mansory G-Couture
Opens the top ten powerful models German Mercedes, the version of which was tuned in the Mansory studio. First of all, the jeep got absolutely new body made of carbon fibre. According to the studio, such material is mostly used in astronautics and aviation - extremely expensive areas of production. The interior combines elements of carbon fiber and python skin. The basis of tuning is the factory engine. He received 200 horsepower more - 700. Up to 100 km / h, the jeep accelerates in 4.9 seconds, and the maximum speed is 220 kilometers per hour.
In ninth place is an analogue of the Porsche Cayenne, tuned by Gemballa. Only the headlights make it related to the original crossover - the rest of the SUV has been redesigned. The entire unique body consists of carbon parts, A rear optics changed beyond recognition. In addition, the upgraded Cayenne received new wheel disks, and most importantly - an engine with a capacity of 700 horsepower. It is capable of speeds of 300 km / h, accelerating to hundreds in 4.5 seconds.
This model, like the X6, is tuned by the same studio - the two lines are different, but their modified versions are very similar. Both cars have a power of 725 horsepower, develop up to 300 km / h, and spend 4.2 seconds on acceleration to hundreds.
In third place is another revised version of the Porsche Cayenne. This time the SUV received an engine with a capacity of 750 horsepower, which allows you to reach speeds of 301 km / h, developing 100 in 4.3 seconds. Notable is the body design of the crossover. It is the most convenient in terms of operation, while remaining original. So, the model has finely tuned air intakes in front, which are combined with a vertically located on wheel arches optics. Rear end exterior has a double wing and diffuser. In addition, the crossover received alloy wheels and long-travel spring struts for excellent handling.
Twelve years ago brutal Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 with atmospheric "eight" Hemi 6.1 with a capacity of 420 hp was among the most powerful and fast SUVs on the market: only Porsche was more dynamic Cayenne Turbo. But later came out whole line"charged" premium all-wheel drive vehicles with supercharged engines with a capacity of over five hundred forces. Now in service Porsche Cayenne Turbo S (570 hp), BMW X5 M and X6 M (575 hp), Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S (585 hp) and Bentley Bentayga (608 hp), plus there is a "brick" Mercedes-AMG G 65 with a 630-horsepower V12 engine. The current Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT with aspirated Hemi 6.4 with 475 hp. against this background looks pale. But prepared for the New York Auto Show Grand Cherokee Trackhawk should stake out the title of the most dynamic SUV in the world for a long time. Indeed, under the hood he has a compressor "eight" with a capacity of 717 hp!
Engine Hemi V8 6.2 with auger IHI compressor in the collapse, "inflating" 0.8 bar of excess pressure - the same as that of dodge coupe Challenger SRT Hellcat and Dodge sedan Charger SRT Hellcat. But the eight-speed "automatic" had to be further strengthened, because in all-wheel drive car it bears an increased burden. A self-locking differential is installed at the rear.
The company promises that a 2.5-ton SUV will be able to shoot up to 60 miles per hour (97 km / h) in just 3.5 seconds versus 3.8 seconds for the most powerful Cayenne and 4.0 seconds for the Bentayga. The Trackhawk can cover the traditional quarter-mile (402 meters) drag distance in 11.6 seconds (this is the level of the Porsche 911 Turbo S and Nissan GT-R), having developed 186.6 km / h at the exit. The maximum speed reaches 290 km/h! At the same time, Trackhawk is also useful on the farm: it can tow a trailer weighing up to 3266 kg.
Strengthened compared to the SRT version brake system: The diameter of the front discs has been increased from 375 to 400 mm, and compound discs with aluminum hub. Diameter rear brakes unchanged (350 mm), Brembo mechanisms - six-piston front and four-piston rear.
It's just a shame that outwardly the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is almost no different from the "regular" modification of the SRT. Only additional air intakes instead of foglights in the corners will help in identification front bumper, twin exhaust pipes and characteristic nameplates with a stylized hawk.
In America, the extreme Trackhawk will start selling by the end of the year. The price has not yet been announced, but it is expected that about 85 thousand dollars will be asked for the car, compared to 67 thousand for the SRT version. On the background German competitors this is not much, because the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S costs 109 thousand dollars in the States, and they ask for 162 thousand dollars for the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S.
There are many cars in the world. There are fewer crossovers, but their diversity and assortment is growing, albeit not day by day, but year by year. For almost every taste, color and wallet, there is now a crossover that meets many (though not all) parameters. The parameters for each, of course, are different: price, quality, manufacturer, country of production (also important), road and off-road performance, in the end, dynamics and banal color. And if we won’t talk about the latter within the framework of this article, then attach the other “rulers” to the most different models crossovers will only be happy.
What do we usually mean by this phrase? pink cars? No. With a variety of decorations on the body? No. However, not fully excluding both of these points. The main thing worth noting in this rating is rather a general collective image of a crossover without a formidable “bull” look, sharp edges, huge prominent body parts like a “kenguryatnik” and so on. To put it simply - a kind of rounded body with smooth transitions.
Impressive characteristics of "female" crossovers also usually do not stand out - there is no need. Let's not argue that felt-tip pens are different in taste and color - and among female drivers there are also lovers of formidable forms and growling engines. However, below is a summary of the top-selling SUVs on the market. Russian market, which are often chosen by female drivers.
Of course, this is far from complete list- did not enter the top five Nissan Juke, Hyundai Creta, Honda CR-V and many others. We note, among other things, that some crossovers could be confidently called “female” in previous generations, they “matured” with age and lost the interest of the beautiful half of humanity. However, the final choice, as always, is yours.
What to choose for a domestic buyer with a limited budget? An army of used crossovers is a possible way out, but also possible additional investment in repairs and annual service. And in general, buying a new car is much more interesting than choosing from a used car for a long time.
But what to choose if the budget for the purchase is limited, for example, to 1 million rubles? Whom to choose - proven by millions of Niva with a Patriot, interesting in terms of equipping the "Chinese" or rather modest "Europeans" with "Koreans"? The latest current sales ratings for new cheap crossovers are as follows:
Oddly enough, but in the TOP5 representatives Chinese car industry basically not included. The reasons for this are quite simple: little trust domestic consumer to new and little-known brands, the unstable position in the market, even seemingly well-known manufacturers.
Those who like to attach a ruler to the power parameter pay less attention to the price issue than others - this is more of a challenge to the public. However, it would be difficult to make a rating, if we take into account, in principle, all the offers on the market - with tuning from the studio of all stripes, “charged” models repeatedly, and so on. Because - only factory overclocking, only "native" tuning studio. And a minimum of repetitions - we will not take into account several modifications of one essentially model.
Of course, this list can be continued for a very long time: in the first 10 positions of the world power rating 8 are "Germans" - Mercedes and BMW. But the modest Porsche Cayenne Turbo S with its 550 forces, the charged Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with the same number of horses and many others did not make it into the top ten.
How much does such beauty cost? Current prices for new charged crossovers start from 6-7 million rubles for a product of the Bavarian car industry.
Oddly enough, but a lot of horsepower will not necessarily lead to the finish line. Although most often these concepts are as close as possible. Nevertheless, aerodynamics plays an important role in acceleration and in the race, and the rating of the most fast crossovers does not completely duplicate the previous rating of the most powerful representatives of the SUV family.
What is considered the fastest? Whether to take into account top speed crossover, or pay attention to the acceleration figures? Both parameters will have to be used in the ranking: strict global regulations oblige manufacturers to impose restrictions on electronics. Therefore, in the first place we will put the “maximum speed”, and with the general parameters we will take into account the acceleration speed to hundreds. We also decided to avoid repetitions of the model
As you can see, the rating of the fastest has little in common with the most powerful. True, we note that Tesla's electric crossover has not yet unlocked its potential in many respects, and having removed the electronic limiters, it would confidently rise up.
What is curious: the Bentley crossover is in last place on the list only because the premium British manufacturer has set a tight production quota for different countries. And most of this quota was purchased in Russia shortly after the official start of sales. And the crossover starts from 17 million rubles.
The issue of traffic safety is also on more than high level in relation to crossovers: a higher center of gravity, a large (compared to sedans and other cars) mass, a potentially more complex design (all-wheel drive, etc.) must meet a high quality bar.
Compact budget crossovers:
Mid-size crossovers:
- Honda Pilot
- Nissan Murano
Premium crossovers:
- Audi Q5
- Acura MDX
- Lexus NX
The gold medal for all test items, by the way, is not always awarded automatically with the price of the car. Eg, Mercedes GL almost reached gold.
And what about those who want to proudly say “I have a crossover!”, But not pay for everything that is offered “from the elders”? When the car is unlikely to ever seriously go off the road, and main problem the owner became a parking issue. One solution is to purchase a compact (often subcompact) crossover with all its advantages and disadvantages. Depending on the price, configuration, manufacturer and equipment, these cars can be both a great companion for a family and a “car for an egoist”.
If you wish, of course, you can include a modest “Frenchman” Peugeot 2008, a crowd of “Chinese” of all stripes and controversial Mini level cars. Cooper Countryman With KIA Soul. Decide and choose in the end for you.
The last point is not the least important - the issue of refueling worried and worries all motorists. Modern technologies and modern cars offer many solutions, but history has already shown that "honest" automakers do not always show real numbers: some underestimate the levels of carbon dioxide emissions, others repent of incorrect fuel consumption data.
However, today the most effective method fuel economy (apart from the actual "put the car in the garage" and all-electric options) there are numerous options hybrid technologies. A car that part of the time does not spend gasoline at all, but is content with electricity from the battery pack, and the rest of the time it runs on fuel and recharges the battery, turned out to be a fairly optimal solution.
Why specify the type of fuel consumed? It’s just that the diesel options just barely made it to the top five: the same modest (but bright and charming Citroen C4 Cactus 1.6 E-HDI and the consumption of the same 3.4 liters of heavy fuel has a much more “urban” 92 hp. ).
Outcome
It is difficult to choose the best among in many respects equal. Choose worthy comparisons for such different cars— even more difficult. If you agree with the article above, you have your own opinion and your own rating - write a comment.
