We are all used to the fact that off-road vehicles are designed to overcome difficult terrain, such that an ordinary “passenger car” will not pass. And even crossovers built on the basis of passenger models are not able to compete with them on smooth asphalt. Indeed, when developing an SUV or crossover, engineers calculate its geometric cross-country ability, the ability to tow heavy trailers, or, at worst, rely on a large trunk and the ability to climb a curb and drive out of the snow that attacked at night.
But the SUV segment is unique in that it is rapidly developing and attracting more and more fans to its ranks, allowing automakers to decide on the most daring experiments with the form factor and feature set. Let's remember how in 2008 BMW company introduced the world's first coupe crossover, the BMW X6. Well, what is not a gamble to create a large crossover ... Porsche? In a word, there is a place for everyone in the SUV segment and an offer will be born for every demand - a real democracy.
And one of the latest trends in the segment of crossovers and SUVs has been the fascination of manufacturers with the release of ... sports car crossovers. These "asphalt burning machines" will not yield for a second on the track even to the traditional authorities from the class. sports cars, with hundreds of horsepower under the hood and locomotive torque. But, in truth, there are already quite a lot of such models - the same BMW X5 M and X6 M, as well as the G series from Mercedes-AMG, so in our TOP 5 we will try to select the most original and promising representatives of this non-trivial genre - a serial SUV- sports car.
#1 Tesla Model X
Whom not to remember at the mention of the phrase "original sports utility vehicle." And it wasn't just any features that made it famous, but thousands of pre-orders with a deposit of $5,000 or more have riveted the world's attention to this brainchild of eccentric billionaire futurist intellectual Elon Musk. Constant release delays, rumors and speculation that have enveloped the model elevate the Model X to our podium.
Of course, this is not quite an SUV, but more of a family crossover minivan with a passenger compartment for seven people and unique rear doors in the form of wings of a bird of prey. But it’s worth clarifying, this car with an all-electric power plant is equipped with an air suspension capable of “lifting” the car above the ground up to 230 mm, and this is an indicator of serious traditional “all-roaders”. Well, the sweetest thing is that the Tesla Model X front axle is driven by a 259-horsepower electric motor, and the rear axle is powered by a 503-horsepower engine…. 762 HP in total and acceleration to “hundreds” in 3.2 seconds (in the top configuration).
Well, the price of the Model X corresponds to the filling - the flagship model with all the "improvers" costs from $142,000.
In second place is also the "adept of electrification", but already from China -. True, this crossover already has as part of its power plant Not only Electrical engine, but the internal combustion engine is a hybrid. Launched in July 2015, the BYD Tang has been a hit with affluent Chinese car enthusiasts, selling over 18,000 units in 2015, thanks to its sporty streak and aggressive appearance well worthy of such content.
So, the BID Tang is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 2.0-liter turbo engine with 202 hp. and two electric motors for 150 "horses" each. As a result, the owner of that SUV will have at his disposal a handsome man with 498 hp. under the hood. The torque is 820 Nm. Four-wheel drive, premium wood and leather interior finishing and 4.5 seconds from 0 to “hundreds” are included. The BID Tang price is $48,000 - even cheap compared to the Model X. By the way, both the Model X and the BYD Tang have the function of purifying the air entering the cabin from the outside - it seems that this is an “international” fad of the rich.
#3 Range Rover Sport SVR
It seems that for decades the British Land Rover on sea trials, they simply did not release the models being developed on asphalt. These all-terrain vehicles have earned themselves recognition as reliable vehicles for conquering places where the foot of a clerk from the City has not set foot, won the love of Australians, who have more than enough impassable distances, and by the will of fate and the market climbed into premium segment, where the former "goes and okay" is no longer quoted.
A super-charged SUV is called to correct the situation, over which the specialists of the newly created division of the company Special Vehicle Operation conjured. Through the efforts of engineers, a real monster was born, who managed to pass the famous Nürburgring in just 8 minutes and 14 seconds. In order to imagine the scale of what happened, we note that the sports coupe Alfa Romeo The 4C Coupe, with a carbon fiber body and weighing 1.1 tons, was only 10 seconds faster on the track, but Mass Range Rover Sport SVR 2.3 tons.
The first "hundred" RRS SVR, thanks to its 5.o V8 with a supercharger of 550 hp. and 680 Nm, gaining only 4.5 seconds. Price from $110,475.
#4 Bentley Bentayga
This big SUV with a refrigerator design from the 60s of the last century, in fact, is nothing more than a completely crazy supercar. Thinking about how to respond to competitors in the super-luxury car segment, Bentley's marketers and engineers decided that nothing is more attractive for a rich person than the feeling of superiority, and here Bentayga unleashes fantasies.
The creators claim that this is the fastest SUV in the world, because it is able to pick up speed of 301 km/h. If you see such numbers on the speedometer - you are definitely the first, just check if the wheels touch the ground, otherwise there may be problems with braking. Under the hood of the Bentayga is the famous Bentley 6.0 W12 with 608 hp. and 900 Nm - round numbers always look nice. Acceleration to a speed of 100 km / h in 4.1 seconds. Weight 2.4 tons.
The price of the Bentley Bentayga absolutely corresponds to the level at which the model plays - from $ 229,000. But if there is too much money, then Bentley knows what to spend it with taste - a special Breitling watch with a tourbillon dashboard for… $234,000… BID Tang as a gift (just kidding).
Closes our today's rating of the fastest, most "hot" and most unusual SUVs a small single SUV from the English company Ariel (by the way, there were as many as 3 "Englishmen" out of 5 in the TOP - this suggests that stiff lords understand something about speed and non-trivial automotive industry).
This car was created for real romantics and connoisseurs. Only two places tubular frame, the almost complete absence of body panels and almost complete freedom on the most severe off-road with “toothy” tires and 30.5 cm of ground clearance. "Kid" is driven by a 235-horsepower 2.4-liter engine from Honda Civic Type-R, whose peak thrust is 300 Nm. However, the Nomad weighs only 670 kg, and therefore this power is enough to tightly tamp a pilot who pressed too hard on the gas into an ascetic seat - 3.4 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h!
Interestingly, Ariel Nomad is the only non-wheel drive SUV in our review - the engine throws all its power only at rear axle. However, this state of affairs does not seem to prevent this “tramp” (English nomad - nomad, wanderer) from shipping tons of adrenaline to its owner. The price of Ariel Nomad is just over $47,000.
As you can see, such models of SUVs appear in the world that they could not even dream of 10 years ago, let alone go into series. Looking at the prices of the copies presented to you today, you can conclude that not everything in the world is measured by money. If you need a Bentey, you will pay what they ask, because these cars have a special combination of sport and luxury, and the Ariel developers value only emotions and “fun” for two in the amount of a large and almost as fast “Chinese”. But this is not bad, because for every demand there must be an offer.
What do you think? Which one is the best, what is important in an SUV for you? We are waiting for your comments!

Article about the 10 most fast SUVs- their features and important characteristics. At the end of the article - a video about the fastest SUVs and crossovers in the world.
The content of the article:
SUVs quickly broke into the world automotive market and captured it in no time. But for now, no respite is expected in the triumphal procession of “all-terrain vehicles”. After conquering the consumer audience, these cars began to evolve rapidly.
The SUV class has gone beyond heavy, clumsy cars that slowly but surely overcome bumps. Today, cross-country ability has acquired grace and has become dynamic. The following are the 10 fastest SUVs in the global automotive industry.
This graceful "German" accelerates to 100 km / h in 4.4 seconds. This result may be the envy of some sports cars and premium sedans. Crazy dynamics - the result of installing a 375-horsepower unit. But unprecedented agility does not interfere with the preservation of patency, which is facilitated by increased ground clearance.
Although it should be noted that the frilly Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 looks more harmonious on the highway than off-road, surrounded by mud and deep potholes.
Another representative German concern. This is natural, since Mercedes loves to create stylish "all-terrain vehicles" that give owners incredible power and dynamics. So, the AMG GLE 63 S Coupe is gaining a “hundred” on the speedometer in just 4.2 seconds.
The SUV is equipped with a 5.5 liter bi-turbo power unit V8. It feels great on country roads and smooth highways.
The Bavarian demonstrates amazing agility and is able to accelerate to 100 km / h in 4.2 seconds as well. He fell one line lower in the ranking due to the fact that many experts consider him not entirely successful and practical. There are also complaints about the design of the SUV - all this does not correspond to the high cost of the car. But this does not prevent him from entering the top of the fastest.
Dominance of representatives German manufacturers continues. The elite Cayenne Turbo deservedly took its place, as it beat the closest pursuers by 0.1 seconds. Its motor with a capacity of 542 hp. capable of accelerating a massive car to 100 km / h in just 4.1 seconds.
Another plus is that the SUV has controlled power. The owner even high speeds feels confident, in complete control of the situation.
Stylish "British" destroys all canons and stereotypes. This is evidenced by the fact that the first sample was taken by Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. But there is no reliable information about whether she tested her new "subject".
The SUV is equipped with a 600 horsepower engine, which makes it possible to reach hundreds on the speedometer in just 4 seconds.
The SUV is an example of how not to chase cutting-edge engineering trends. Its creators abandoned the advanced units of the AMG family and relied on a somewhat outdated, but proven 6-liter Merc GLE V8 engine. It is he who gives acceleration to 100 km / h in an unimaginable 3.8 seconds.
This contender for absolute superiority in dynamics is comparable to previous model, but bypassed it in terms of technical characteristics. With the same 3.8 seconds required to reach 100 km / h, the displacement of its V6 biturbo unit is 2.9 liters.
This native of a sports environment can safely compete with thoroughbred racers, sharpened solely on dynamics and speed. Its acceleration to 100 km / h on the speedometer in 3.6 seconds does not leave most competitors the slightest chance. Gives such technical indicators 641 hp motor
An interesting fact, but the Urus is superior in performance to the Huracan, a car named after the god of the wind. Introduced in 2014, it was equipped with a 5.2-liter unit with 610 hp. But the weight difference has taken its toll, and the lighter Italian hits 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds.
This legend of the global automotive industry has deservedly become one of the leaders. The modification of the SUV received a 6-liter engine that produces 707 hp. and is able to accelerate to 100 km / h in just 3.4 seconds. So, a stylish all-terrain vehicle in a sprint is able to overtake a McLaren 540C, which is an impressive result.
But the indicators of the monstrous dude are somewhat spoiled by the cut-down maximum speed at 290 km/h.
The Tesla brand quickly broke into the global market and offered customers not just cars, but eco-friendly works of art. In particular, the Model X does not have powerful classic turbocharged units with an impressive volume. Accelerates SUV to 100 km / h in 3.2 seconds electric drive.
This is worthy not only of a top place in the ranking, but also of imitation, since the sharks of the automotive industry cannot compete with an environmentally friendly newcomer. He is able to leave behind any competitor from the above list, which is an absolute result in the class.
But it would be unfair to end this TOP without mentioning some really worthy models who also claim to be in the "major league of heavyweights."
This is a luxurious Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic with 550 hp, Mercedes-AMG G63 and its 563 hp. The latter causes a lot of criticism from experts who argue that such an outdated concept should not have been equipped with a powerful engine. However, the car remains one of the fastest SUVs in the world.

The main advantages of the crossover - roomy interior(five to seven seats), comfort, high ground clearance, as well as the ability to connect all-wheel drive.
In addition, a crossover is the best solution for a large family, it is especially relevant in sparsely populated cities with roads. Low quality. Also on it you can safely go on a country holiday.
First of all, before you go to the salon to buy a crossover, you need to decide for what purpose you choose it. Cars from the SUV segment are divided into 3 categories. Each group has its own individual characteristics.
- Compact crossover. The main advantage of this group is its low cost, so most of those presented today in Russia belong to the budget category. Basically, this option is chosen by people living in cities, because at the touch of a button, the size of both the passenger compartment and the trunk changes. From big machines, compact ones are less “gluttonous”, and from other segments (sedan, hatchback, etc.) - good cross-country ability and all-wheel drive performance. Minus small crossover in the fact that on such a car you are unlikely to dare to poke your head into serious off-road. Most the best representatives compact crossovers sold in the Russian market: Toyota RAV4, Ford Kuga, BMW X3, and Renault Captur.
- Mid size crossover. The best crossovers in terms of price-quality ratio, just the representatives of this category. In addition, such machines are more versatile. The mid-size crossover is almost a full-fledged large SUV, the seats are high in the cabin (the driver’s high seating position), but its main advantage, of course, is more economical consumption fuel. On representatives of the best medium-sized crossovers, you can safely go into the forest without fear of off-road driving. From this category, we should highlight: Honda Pilot, Ford Edge, Toyota Highlander, Skoda Kodiak, Renault Koleos and so on.
- Full size crossover. This group is the best family crossovers. The salon of such a car can provide from 7 to 9 seats, but it is worth remembering that big crossover consumes much more fuel than its smaller counterparts. When choosing full-size crossover, basically people are guided by a spacious comfortable interior, as well as the ability to move around in the most difficult off-road conditions. Note that the range of prices in this segment is the largest. The brightest representatives included in this group: Volkswagen Tuareg, Land Rover Discovery, Ford Flex and so on.

If you are aiming to buy a middle-class crossover, then you will have to empty the family budget from 1 to 1.5 million rubles. A luxury crossover will cost at least 4.5 million rubles.
Rating of the best crossovers in terms of reliability for 2019:
In order for the crossover you have chosen to meet all your desires and expectations, take Special attention these details:
- Determine the approximate amount that must necessarily include future expenses on the car (insurance, Maintenance and so on).
- Decide on a specific brand. Each manufacturer has its pros and cons (for example, German Volkswagens are too tough, Honda suffers from rapid body corrosion, and so on).
- Decide what engine your crossover will be equipped with. Petrol is more adapted to the Russian weather, diesel is more economical and requires much lower fuel costs.
- Remember, if you are a middle-class person, then when buying, be guided by the efficiency of the engine and its power characteristics.
- Experts recommend choosing a new crossover with an impressive ground clearance(clearance), as well as with fairly wide wheels.
