Want a new SUV that's as stylish as it is versatile? Then check out these great-looking SUVs of the 2018 model year! We evaluated numerous top-selling SUVs from leading automakers such as Audi, Range Rover and Buick, and ultimately we settled on eight that strike us as exceptionally bold, sophisticated, sporty or edgy. No matter your tastes or price range, you'll find something that suits your fancy among these great options. This is a great year to buy an SUV, especially with vehicles this cool to choose from.
The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan makes our list for its simple, sporty Volkswagen styling that's true to the brand while still being fresh. We're especially fond of the Tiguan's flat grill and LED lighting configuration. And the Tiguan is a great SUV, as well, with a low base MSRP and fuel efficiency up to 27 mpg.
Want the ultimate combination of luxury and looks? Then check out the 2018 Range Rover, which is truly in a class of its own. With split-spoke 19-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting, daytime running lights, innovative body lines, tinted windows, and several metallic colors -- in addition to all the power and luxury features anyone could possibly want -- it's hard to make a highlight list without the new Range Rover.
Family friendly SUVs don't have to be boring. For proof, check out the stylish 2018 Chevrolet Equinox. We love the sweeping, curved body lines on this all-new SUV; we also love its curving, angled headlights, its polygonal grille, its foglight wells, and its angled rear windows. Chevy went the extra mile to offer a modern SUV that's affordable for most buyers.
Unmistakably European, the 2018 Audi SQ5 is as sporty as it is sophisticated! With a six-cylinder engine that reaches 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds, you'll fall in love with this versatile SUV with Audi's classic styling.
For a luxurious SUV without the high-end price tag, check out the 2018 Buick Enclave. Its style reminds us of the more affordable Chevy Equinox, but style isn't only skin deep. Not only is the Enclave's exterior more regal, but inside you'll find most of the trappings of a high-end luxury vehicle.
Bold, tough, and rugged -- attributes associated with Ford that are captured perfectly by the redesigned 2018 Ford Expedition. We love how the Expedition retained its squarish shape while evolving just enough to stay attractively modern. With an updated interior, loads of features and a powerful engine, there's so much to love about this great-looking SUV.
The 2018 Lexus NX 200t F Sport takes this boldly designed crossover SUV and adds 18-inch wheels and exclusive styling flourishes both inside and out. That's in addition to simulated leather upholstery, an 8-inch infotainment display, dual-zone climate control, a sport steering wheel and more.
The curved hood, the slightly large headlights, the regal colors -- yes, the 2018 Porsche Cayenne is most definitely a Porsche! Both inside and out, driving the new Cayenne will make you feel like you're driving a sportscar along a sun-drenched coastline. With a sleek, classic build, a 335-horsepower engine, a fine leather interior and real wood styling elements, the Porsche Cayenne impresses both parked and at full throttle.
Of all the concept SUVs unveiled so far in 2018, our favorite is the Nissan Xmotion SUV. This SUV's ruggedly modern design made it an instant crowd favorite. In addition to single-construction off-road tires and lighting inspired by Japanese art, this jaw-dropping concept SUV is also built with a degree of practicality in mind -- inside, you'll find three rows of side-by-side individual seats capable of seating two adult couples and two children. The Xmotion is also a technological marvel, leaning on autonomous driving systems with advanced graphic user interfaces.
