Hybrid model on hold for 2022; will return in 2023, New S trim level combines V8 power with sport-tuned suspension.

A sporty-looking S model joins the range for 2022 that incorporates many of the top-end Speed model's design cues but is powered by the 542-hp V-8 that serves as the Bentayga's base engine. A sport-tuned suspension, 22-inch wheels, and a sport exhaust system give the S model an edge over the base V-8 trim. Elsewhere in the lineup, a set of carbon fiber rims is a new standalone option through the Mulliner personalization program.
Pros Two smooth, powerful engine choices, plush interior, overflowing with cachet.
Cons Polarizing exterior styling, six-figure price tag, driver-assistance features aren't standard.
Pros Sledgehammer performance Surprisingly good fun to drive Superbly luxurious interior
Cons Ungainly looks from some angles Audi influences around cabin A Range Rover is roomier
The Hellcat-powered Durango is all-new for 2021. However, the hugely powerful SUV is only scheduled for a single year of production. While the company pulled a similar move with the highly hyped and limited-edition Challenger SRT Demon, we hope strong sales and enthusiast interest will prolong this devilish Durango's life.
PROS A three-row SUV with 700-plus horses, as quick as a 797-hp Hellcat Challenger, surprisingly deft handling for its size.
CONS Precipitous price tag, miserable fuel economy, omnipresent supercharger whine can get annoying.
PROS Stupefying acceleration and speed Excellent infotainment system Theatrical exhaust sounds
CONS Novelty can wear off in day-to-day use Frightening fuel consumption Still feels outdated
Pros Large touchscreen tech interface is one of the best in class Strong V8s provide exceptional towing ability Real off-road capabilities with 4WD and low-range gearing
Cons Fuel economy is below average, especially with the V8s Many of the latest advanced driver safety features don't come standard Bigger and bulkier to drive than rival crossover SUVs
