3 Luxury SUVs That Drive Like Luxury Sedans
Most luxury car shoppers know what they want. Premium sedans come packed with an elevated sense of style, design and exquisite elements that simply don’t exist in a standard vehicle. Whether you’re looking for plush leather, wood and chrome accents, an impressive sound system, extended horsepower or advanced performance technologies, luxury vehicles cater to a niche consumer market. However, with their rise in popularity, many fine automotive brands like BMW and Audi, have transferred the glitz and glam associated with exotic cars, into the design process of SUVs. Luxury SUVs are taking the market by storm, as they allow families or drivers who require additional space for passengers and cargo, the opportunity to experience the luxury and finesse of a sedan, while taking advantage of the space, fuel efficiency and power of an SUV. No longer just a rugged, off-road adventure vehicle, the modern luxury SUV offers a competitive driving experience, without trading in comfort or practicality. With so many luxury SUVs to choose from, we’ve put together a list of our top 3 favourite SUV models that drive like a premium sedan.
