Buying used cars instead of new ones can save you significant amounts of money while still getting a great product. Here are some high-value luxury SUVs you can feel good about driving while not spending too much money.
2017 Audi Q7
The 2017 Audi Q7 midsize SUV is great for both short trips and long road trips with the whole family. There is plenty of room for children in the back with three rows of seats, along with infotainment systems to keep them entertained. A robust 7-inch display is included in the base price in the front, with more options available in higher-priced versions. There are enough power outlets in the car to keep all of your devices charged.
This Audi vehicle has a strong powertrain with good handling. The Q7 comes standard with a four-cylinder engine, but V6 models are also available for more power. The V4 generates 252 horsepower, but the V6 has 333 horsepower. Every price point of the Q7 includes an eight-speed automatic transmission, plus all-wheel drive for better handling. This vehicle is very enjoyable to drive on all kinds of roads and has enough ground clearance for some off-roading.
2016 Mercedes-Benz GL63
With a powerful V8 engine, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL63 is a fun car to drive. The engine generates 550 horsepower, allowing for 7,500 pounds of towing capability. It comes standard with a strong all-wheel drive system, augmented by upgraded brakes, suspension, and steering.
There are many other sporty features inside and outside this luxury SUV. It offers three rows of seating, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a 7-inch display screen. The price of this vehicle is relatively high compared with competitors; however, other vehicles cannot hold a candle to the premium features of the GL63 as you get exactly what you pay for from the Mercedes.
2019 Land Rover Range Rover
Well-known for their outstanding luxury, Land Rover vehicles are top-of-the-line and worth every dollar. All variants of the 2019 version of Land Rover’s most popular SUV come with a standard panoramic sunroof. Another new feature is standard compatibility with smartphone vehicle apps such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to make your drive more entertaining. No other type of car could compare to the prestige that driving a Range Rover brings.
For more comfort, the back row provides extra legroom compared to most other luxury sport utility vehicles. Extra driving safety features are also available, including commonplace systems such as automatic emergency braking, lane assist, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control.
For power, the 2019 Range Rover boasts an impressive variety of engines, starting with an already-powerful V6 and going up to a supercharged V8 powertrain unit. Alternatively, a diesel V6 is available. The V8 option has the best acceleration times of all variants by far.
A small drawback of the 2019 Range Rover is less precise handling capabilities compared to Mercedes and BMW competitors. However, it is made up for with its off-road prowess that flies past the competition. It even comes with a Wade Sensing system for safety when driving through shallow waters off the road.
Furthermore, the 2019 Range Rover is equipped with large comfortable seats and infotainment monitors. Everything is made from high-quality materials. Along with all the high-tech features, a spacious 32 cubic feet of storage capacity in the rear can carry all of your family’s belongings.
2018 GMC Yukon/Yukon XL
The 2018 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL come with several features standard that other manufacturers do not include at all. For example, all Yukon variants come standard with powerful V8 engines and 4G LTE Wi-Fi built in. Most other luxury SUVs do not include those whatsoever.
Additionally, the Denali models of the 2018 Yukon lineup come with a 10-speed automatic transmission, which, when paired with the standard Corvette-inspired V8 powertrain, produces stellar results. The regular Yukon and Yukon XL extended wheelbase models have a more conventional six-speed transmission. Safety systems available for Denali models include powered running boards, adaptive cruise control, incline-sensing alarms, and forward-collision warning.
There are two respective engines for the Yukon and Yukon Denali variants. The regular Yukon and Yukon XL variants come with a 355-horsepower V8 while the upgraded Denali variants come with a more powerful 420-horsepower V8 powertrain. The 10-speed transmission included in the Denali variants has the benefit of slightly improving fuel economy and efficiency. Additionally, the Yukon handles well for an SUV of its size.
Along with the powerful engines, the 2018 Yukon family possesses power-folding leather seats in the back, along with comfortable bucket seats in the front. There is plenty of room inside the vehicles for passengers and cargo. For connectivity, they are compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with many USB ports and power sockets to keep devices charged. Additionally, the 2018 Yukon comes with a large and easy-to-use infotainment screen that includes navigation, so you can save your phone’s cellular data used on GPS. The Yukon is one of the more affordable luxury SUVs on the market and will give you a feature-laden vehicle without crushing your bank account.
2017 Acura MDX
The 2017 Acura MDX is on the smaller side for SUVs with three rows, but it still has all the features necessary to keep your family comfortable. This vehicle combines a 290-horsepower V6 engine with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Known for its superb handling ability, the 2017 Acura MDX is considered one of the most pleasurable vehicles to drive in its class. This handling ability comes from Acura’s “Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive” system standard in this model.
Along with conventional straight gasoline engines, hybrid powertrains are also available in the MDX. The MDX Sport Hybrid version has most of the same features as the standard variants, except it possesses a stronger powertrain, with 321 horsepower produced by its gasoline engine and three electric motors.
The interior of the 2017 Acura MDX includes three rows, with the second row having the ability to recline. Storage capacity is definitely a plus, with efficient uses of space in both the standard and hybrid variants. Unfortunately, the infotainment system is considered to be outdated for its generation, but it still has many USB and power ports and an innovative sound system. Additionally, the 2017 MDX comes standard with Sirius XM radio compatibility.
A major edge that the 2017 Acura MDX has over its competitors is its perfect five-star safety rating from the NHTSA.
In today’s highly competitive used car market, when prices are rising faster than they have in generations, it is important to know that you are getting the best value for your money when buying a new vehicle. These vehicles represent different segments of the luxury SUV market from the lowest end to the highest end, so whatever type of luxury SUV you are looking for, you should take comfort in the fact that these vehicles will satisfy all your needs.
