Is it time to upgrade your SUV? Whether you’ve received a promotion at work, need a larger vehicle or simply want that new car feel, choosing the right luxury SUV can be difficult. After all, you want to be sure your hard-earned money is being put to good use.
Below, we’ll cover new luxury SUVs that are a good investment for the upper class.
Lincoln Corsair
The Lincoln Corsair is a mid-size SUV with all the bells and whistles you could want. The upgrade opportunities are endless, from a hybrid option and hands-free driving modes to fog lamps and a 14-speaker Revel stereo system. The 2025 Lincoln Corsair starts at $40,980, according to Car and Driver. However, pricing can get up to $48,135, depending on the upgrades and features you choose.
“The Corsair is one of the most reliable luxury SUVs on the market,” said Melanie Musson, auto industry expert with CarInsurance.org. “When you spend the money on a luxury car, you should be able to depend on it for problem-free service for years. The Corsair is fun to drive thanks to the powerful engine. It’s loaded with safety features and cargo space.”
Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600
The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 is the ultimate luxury SUV. This vehicle is based on the Benz GLS class but has high-end features. The interior of the Maybach GLS 600 is top-of-the-line, featuring premium Nappa leather and Manufaktur Signature paints. In addition, the GLS has different upgrade features, like an optional third row, driver-assistance features and lane-centering features. Pricing for the 2025 Maybach GLS 600 starts at $179,600 and can reach as high as $205,200, according to Car and Driver.
“It’s powerful and refined and full of luxury niceties — massage seats and real wood trim included,” said Alex Black, chief marketing officer at EpicVIN. “If you desire full-size size and top-of-the-line amenities, this SUV delivers. And also retains value better than you might suspect.”
Lexus GX
The 2025 Lexus GX is the perfect vehicle for adventurers. With off-road capabilities, a high towing capacity and a twin-turbo V-6 engine, the Lexus GX can take you places you never imagined. Pairing these high-end features with luxury finishes, like a customizable interior, and the Lexus GX might be your new luxury SUV purchase. The 2025 Lexus GX base model starts at $65,285, according to Car and Driver.
“If you’re looking for a luxury SUV that is rugged enough to take you off-road for an adventure, it’s hard to find a better option than the GX,” Musson said. “With the Overtrail trim package, your off-roading adventure may feel as smooth as a drive down the paved road. The towing capacity will enable you to bring a trailer so you can pack all your gear, or even a small camper.”
BMW XM
Like the Maybach GLS 600, the BMW XM is another luxury SUV to consider. The BMW XM has an EV option, plush furnishings and a sleek exterior. BMW’s Driving Assistance Professional Package comes in all XM models, allowing for hands-free driving and eye-activated lane change features. If you want an exclusive XM, the XM Kith is being offered in limited numbers as part of a collaboration with Kith, a New York fashion brand. The BMW XM price starts at $161,675 and can reach $200,175, according to Car and Driver.
“Daring choice, but if you’re after performance and uniqueness, this is it,” Black said. “Plug-in hybrid boasting over 700 horsepower and looks that command attention. It’s not for the general populace, not really, but that’s sort of the idea. Affluent shoppers who desire a little uniqueness will love it.”
Range Rover Autobiography
The 2025 Range Rover Autobiography combines luxury with practicality. The V-8 engine comes with a plug-in option and a hybrid powertrain. The Autobiography has a 1600-watt stereo system with headrest-mounted speakers and active noise cancellation. This model also gives you an optional third row for traveling with a large family. Base pricing starts at $109,725 and can reach $210,825, depending on your trim and add-on options, according to Car and Driver.
