While BMW may be better known for its coupes and sedans, the brand is at the top of the heap when it comes to midsize luxury SUVs. The 2024 BMW X5 is a practical and performance-oriented midsize crossover SUV that combines the feeling of a luxury car with the driving experience of a sports car. 

The 2024 X5 has three available powertrains, including a 375-horsepower turbocharged inline-six, a plug-in hybrid turbocharged inline-six putting out 483 horsepower with the help of an electric motor, and a massive 523-horsepower twin-turbo V8. Depending on what your power needs are, you can choose between a fuel-efficient or thrilling driving feel. 

![2024 BMW X5 xDrive50e Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/QotD1fZGbzRTuvcbG24kf/1dccebb01a148231aee03a6bf0bcbde9/2024_BMW_X5_xDrive50e_Interior.jpg)

While the interior of the X5 is relatively spacious and features a third-row seating option, this is not going to have as much space as some of the other 3-row SUVs on the market like the Cadillac Escalade. That being said, the interior is roomy and features incredibly high-quality materials as well as lots of available add-ons like massaging seats, a leather dashboard, and heated armrests. 

Every version of the X5 comes with a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system as well as a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Standard safety features include automated emergency braking and lane-departure warning as well as optional cruise control with a hands-free mode.

If you are in the market for a luxury SUV that is heavy on luxury and not so much on performance, the Lexus RX is going to be your best bet. While it is not going to be as exciting as the Alfa Romeo Stelvio or BMW X3, it more than makes up for that with ride quality and luxurious appointments. 

The RX is available with four different powertrains: a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder putting out 275 horsepower with optional all-wheel drive, a hybrid version with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that puts out 246 horsepower with AWD, a higher-power version of the 2.4-liter engine that puts out 367 horsepower, and a plug-in hybrid with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and three electric motors for 304 horsepower.

The RX is only available as a two-row SUV and the interior is well-appointed with textured door panels, ambient lighting, and wood trim on some of the higher-end versions. There is also plenty of cargo space behind the rear seats on top of ample leg room. 

The standard infotainment touchscreen is 9.8 inches but this can be upgraded to 14.0 inches. This interface comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity with available navigation and a head-up display. A wide range of standard safety features are also included such as automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and adaptive cruise control.

The best cars and SUVs will almost always have a great combination of style, comfort, and performance. The 2024 Porsche Cayenne is an excellent example of how all of these things can come together. 

With superb exterior style and powertrains including a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 putting out 348 horsepower, a plug-in hybrid SUV that combines that engine with an electric motor for 463 horsepower, a twin-turbo V8 putting out 468 horsepower, and a hybrid V6 putting out a massive 512 horsepower, there are plenty of options for you if you want the very best in style and substance if you are willing to pay the starting price MSRP of $80,850. 

![2024 Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/4YM6LU7S0DR2X8fkHBonkT/4f8043d54f4c465493d08f90dff80455/2024_Porsche_Cayenne_Turbo_E-Hybrid_Interior.jpg)

Inside, the cabin is heavily inspired by the 911 but it can be personalized with extra add-ons and options. In the middle of the dashboard is a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system running Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and the passenger can get a 10.9-inch screen if you want to add it. 

There is also a 12.6-inch digital gauge display located behind the steering wheel. There isn’t much in the way of included safety equipment but you can add things like blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist.

### 5. 2024 Audi Q8

![2024 Audi Q8 Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5BkbwwcDgYglXNHQfMsl0M/7d35c239ac296b9eecb3a49eb87f1257/2024_Audi_Q8_Exterior.jpg)

If you want the performance and prestige that comes with the Audi name but you don’t need the space that is in the three-row Audi Q7, the Audi Q8 is an excellent alternative to a full-size SUV. Every version of the Q8 comes with a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 generating 335 horsepower that runs through an eight-speed automatic transmission and Audi’s signature Quattro AWD. 

![2024 Audi Q8 Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6z3gFyn4lOcjWgW0cx6tb0/70ddecaa1e176f33888d4225e5c10d8f/2024_Audi_Q8_Interior.jpg)

If you decide to equip the Q8 with a towing package, it has a towing capacity of 7,700 pounds. While it hasn’t been tested by the EPA yet, the previous model year’s version of this same engine had a fuel economy ranking of 18 mpg city and 23 highway.

The Q8’s interior is both rugged and high-end with premium materials and a top-notch construction. Heated front seats and a panoramic sunroof are standard equipment but if you opt for the higher trim levels, you get massage seats and sound-proofed dual-pane glass. 

The dashboard and the center console each have infotainment touchscreens with touch controls, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and full smartphone connectivity. Standard safety equipment includes forward collision warning and blind-spot monitoring with an available lane-keeping assist feature.

While Lincoln may be more well-known for the famous Navigator SUV or the Lincoln Nautilus, the 2024 Aviator is an excellent mid-size alternative.

When it comes to big names in the luxury segment, Mercedes-Benz is one of the most recognizable. The 2024 GLE-Class is Mercedes’ two-row entry with all the amenities and features you expect from the brand. 

![2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/2n4OkBBkDuweRexsmNKzD6/f9435fef35e4f40030a54e1a6072b73c/2024_Mercedes-Benz_GLE-Class_Interior.jpg)

While subcompact and compact SUVs tend to have a monopoly when it comes to performance and driveability, the Acura MDX is a great example of what can fit into a larger package. The 2024 MDX is a three-row midsize SUV that drives like a much smaller vehicle with nimble handling and decent power. 

For most versions of the MDX, a 290-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 is included with a ten-speed automatic transmission. If you want to upgrade to the Type S trim level, though, you get a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 putting out 355 horsepower. This version has a zero-to-60 time of 5.5 seconds, putting it on par acceleration-wise with electric SUVs like the Tesla Model Y. 

![2024 Acura MDX Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/2v1wBljn9WuxAUOVJF8ayk/fa47b895983f61feba74f538b914d867/2024_Acura_MDX_Interior.jpg)

While even the base version of the 2024 MDX is high-end, it gets even more so with the higher trim levels with things like a leather dashboard and open-pore wood. There are plenty of luxury and tech features in the base trim, though, including heated front seats, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, and a 12.3-inch digital gauge display. 

There are also several safety and driver-assist features including standards like automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and adaptive cruise control.
