Americans love their cars. And then, there is nothing like a SUV. And the way things are going, 2015 seems to be the year of SUVs. If you are planning to buy an SUV soon or are an ardent SUV fan, then it is time you get up and start scheduling test drives. Since so many SUVs are running around and with more to come, you might get a little confused about which ones to look out for, which ones to try and which ones to buy. Here, we help you out with our list of some of the best SUVs set to rock the road in 2015, that are definitely a must watch-out-for –
The Cherokee has always been a popular SUV. Like its predecessors, the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee can carry your entire family to wherever you want to go, including traversing off-road trails. It offers three different four wheel drive systems as well as an option for height adjustable air suspension, as well as multiple horsepower and turbo diesel options. The Grand Cherokee is versatile and unbeatable.
The Land Rover Range Rover has been a classic SUV for time immemorial and has been the love of many SUV lovers for long now. It has an incredibly light chassis for a SUV making it better and easier to handle as well as boosting its starting acceleration greatly. Along with many other power-packed features, the Land Rover Range Rover comes with in-built eight speed transmission as well as four wheel drive without additional charges. This SUV has a brilliant Terrain Response System that enhances the Range Rover’s off road capability manifold. Moreover, the Range Rover also comes with the ability to install a third row of seating as and when required.
The seven passenger 2015 Ford Explorer offers huge cargo space and high tech features like the My Ford Touch Vehicle interface and Sync Voice command system as well as useful safety gear that help with the blind spots, preventing forward collisions as well as cautioning against departures from the set lanes while driving. It feels like a car while offering the features and luxuries of a rough and rugged SUV. It offers an all wheel drive as well as comes with different horsepower and turbo charged options to choose from.
If you are a person looking for the practicality of a three row SUV along with a powerful V8, then you couldn’t get a better option than the Dodge Durango. It is a little shorter than some other popular SUVs but has a good enough cargo space, with special child oriented seats at the rear. It also has a brilliant towing capacity of 6200-7400 lbs depending on what power options you have chosen and has a firm footing on all surfaces. It is versatile and friendly, definitely a superb option for families with young kids or someone with a farm or just wanting a friendly rugged machine.
The Lincoln is a popular American premium brand of cars. But for the first time in 2015 it is going to come up with a compact SUV. The in-built configurations for the new Lincoln MKC would be a 240 hp turbo charged 2.0 litre EcoBoost four cylinder engine, which can however be upgraded for 2.3 litre turbocharged four cylinder EcoBoost. The Lincoln MKC can seat up to five people, has a unique styling, a beautiful interior fit and an awesome top-tier drivetrain option.
The Mercedes has been famous of luxury cars that best suit all your needs. The Mercedes M Class was an SUV of its own, and now we have a new SUV coming from the house of Mercedes again next year – the Mercedes Benz GLK Class. It has a styling very different from a lot of other SUVs out there, with a lot of styling features being truck – like. You can opt for a fuel efficient version or a power oriented version, as per your desires. An all wheel drive is also an option with the GLK Class.
The Yukon Denali has strong truck roots. The new 2015 GMC Yokun Denali has undergone a lot of re-designing to make its roots classic and crisp. It can seat up to eight passengers and has an extra huge cargo space. It also comes with a unique Magnetic Ride Control suspension system. The suspension system adapts automatically to whatever terrain it is being driven on, and with this it maximizes comfort as well as ease of driving. Also, it comes with an eight speed transmission. So, if you are a person who has to deal with a lot of rough terrain or if you are planning to use the SUV for off roading, the GMC Yukon Denali is your best bet.
If you are an off – roading junkie, then apart from the Yukon Denali one more best option for you would be the Acura MDX. It is comfortable and power packed with features, yet it is a conventionally strong SUV. However, despite being all rugged and rough does not compromise on the styling and looks in any way; the Acura still makes for a stylish and strong SUV. It is a little lesser on the cargo space, especially when compared to a lot of off-roadie SUVs like the Yukon Denali or the Mercedes Benz GLK Class. But the Acura comes with an incredible automatic braking as well as systems that warn you about forward collision, lane diverging and blind spots.
The 2015 Audi Q7 3.0 TDI Premium coming with an eight speed automatic transmission with four wheel anti – lock brakes, side mounted air bags, first second as well as third row overhead airbags, automatic air conditioning, 19 inch aluminium wheels and many other features makes the Q7 one of the safest SUVs of 2015.
Mitsubishi Outlander is one of the other commendable coming up next year. It comes with a two speed CVT transmission with overdrive, which may be a little disappointing. But it is safe with four wheels anti – lock brakes, side seat mounted air bags, curtain first and second row overhead air bags, driver knee air bag and an air bag occupancy sensor. The air conditioning is automatic and the wheels are 16 inch steel.
BMW makes awesome sedans and it makes good SUVs too. It has 18 inch aluminium wheels and integrated navigation systems as well as eight speed automatic transmissions with overdrive and with good airbag systems. It is a good choice for someone who intends to travel a lot in their SUV on varying terrains and surfaces.
The year of 2015 seems like gearing up for a flood of SUV, we might as well declare it as the year of new power – packed SUVs. Start planning and booking right away.
