genesis

Even a year ago, we probably wouldn’t have known what to put down as the best electric luxury SUV on the market. But since then, Genesis has created one of the best small luxury SUVs in existence, and it just so happens to be an all-electric affair.

The 2023 Genesis GV60 is marvelous. Riding on the same platform that underpins the also-excellent Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, this compact EV is loaded with luxurious trimmings, whether it’s the intricate knurling on the switchgear or the fact that the shift dial turns into an orb (for pondering) when the vehicle is turned off. It’s no technological slouch, either, with available biometrics that allows you to start and drive the vehicle with nothing more than your face and fingerprint.

2022 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT

The best performance luxury SUV

Porsche has long had a lock on the performance luxury SUV market, producing some properly prodigious models. But none is quite as wild as the Cayenne Turbo GT.
The Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT is the first SUV to carry Porsche’s vaunted GT badge, which is reserved for its highest-performance vehicles. There’s a twin-turbo V8 underhood making 631 hp and 626 lb-ft of torque, enough to shove this large SUV to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds. But the Turbo GT is no drag-strip dandy; it has the suspension chops to carve canyon backroads with anything else wearing that GT badge on the back. You’d have a hard time finding this kind of performance envelope in most other manufacturers’ non-SUV lineups
