Two luxury SUVs gear up to challenge each other for the title of ACOTY’s Best Luxury SUV.
How Does ACOTY Define This Class?
A luxury SUV is a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) offered as the creme de la creme of a top-shelf brand’s line-up. Pretty straightforward.
Meet The Contenders
Representing the UK and Italy are the Range Rover PHEV (left) and Lamborghini Urus S (right) respectively.
The Range Rover PHEV represents UK’s definitive regal motoring experience in an SUV body shape. With go-anywhere underpinnings, classy upmarket interiors and a ride comfort that will cosset you in the lap of luxury, it’s no wonder then that the British royal family has long had a penchant for Range Rovers.
The Lamborghini Urus S has a different take on luxury SUV-ery. This thing is mental in the way it picks up and goes, as expected of a modern day Lamborghini, with an angry bellow from the exhaust. And it looks the (angry) part too!
But it can also settle into a soft, cossetting ride which is expected of a luxo SUV. Throw in exquisite materials and a wonderful driving position and it’s not hard to see why the Urus S is worthy of your million-plus dollars.
Both are sound, but one was crowned.
