The 10 Most Powerful SUVs On Sale Today


No.1 Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic – 550 Horsepower

Last year,Rover finally started offering the Jaguar F-Type R's 550-hp Supercharged V8 in its biggest, most luxurious Range Rover. This is the perfect SUV for someone who wants everything–luxury, off-road capability, and crazy performance.

No.2 Range Rover Sport SVR – 550 Horsepower

The Range Rover Sport SVR uses the same engine and gearbox as the Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic, but it puts it in a lighter, more sporty chassis. Heck, Land Rover even took it to the Nurburgring for development. It's totally unnecessary, and utterly great.

No.3 Mercedes-AMG G63 – 563 Horsepower

There are few vehicles on sale today equally as pointless and as great as the Mercedes-AMG G63. The last thing this ancient off-roader needs is a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 with 563 horsepower, and yet, it's hard to think of a better engine for it. It's shockingly quick, and hilariously rude. It's not the most powerful G-Wagen though.

No.4 BMW X5 M and X6 M – 567 Horsepower

Using a similar 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 to the outgoing M5, BMW's X5 M and X6 M produce a 567 horsepower. These things are huge but thanks to that engine combined with a dual-clutch transmission, and a great chassis,they're genuine monsters on track


No.5 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S – 570 Horsepower

Porsche will debut the 680-hp Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid, but until then, we'll have to settle for the 570-hp Cayenne Turbo S. That may sound like a travesty, but the Cayenne Turbo S is still capable of a 3.8-second 0-60 mph run, and a 176-mph top speed.

No.6 Mercedes-AMG GLE63 S – 577 Horsepower

Using the same engine as the AMG G63, Mercedes' GLE63 makes 577 horsepower in S; trim and 550 horsepower in regular specifications. Like all Mercedes-AMG products featuring this engine, it's a brute.

No.7 Mercedes-AMG GLS63 – 577 Horsepower

When AMG develops an engine, it fits in in damn near every car and truck Mercedes-Benz offers. The GLS63 gets the same engine as the GLE63 S, which is totally absurd in a giant three-row SUV like this. God bless the loons at AMG.

No.8 Bentley Bentayga – 600 Horsepower

Thanks in part to a 600-hp 6.0-liter W12, Bentley claims the World's Fastest SUV title with its ultra-luxury Bentayga. Flat out, it'll hit a fairly ridiculous 187 mph. Of course, it's not the world's most powerful SUV. 

No.9 Mercedes-AMG G65 - 621 Horsepower

We're not sure why the 621-hp V12-powered Mercedes-AMG G65 exists, but we're so glad it does. It's way too powerful for its own good, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

No.10 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk – 707 Horsepower

It was only a matter of time before Dodge's 707-hp Supercharged Hellcat motor ended up somewhere else in the Fiat Chrysler family. No, the Grand Cherokee doesn't need 707 horsepower, but is it better for it? Almost assuredly. The Trackhawk is the World's Most Powerful SUV, and although pricing hasn't been announced yet, it's probably the cheapest thing on this list.
