Powerful V8 engines
Refined interior
Unmistakable exterior styling

CONS

Difficult to get in and out of
Limited cargo space
Previous-generation Mercedes infotainment system

By: 
edmunds.com

Mercedes's souped-up G-class model receives a wireless smartphone charging pad as standard equipment for 2021 and sees an expansion to the G manufaktur customization service that can provide an even deeper level of personalization. Elsewhere, a new AMG Night package adds black exterior trim pieces, and a new spare tire cover in Night Black Magno is now available.

PROS
Physics-defying acceleration,
impressive off-road abilities,
lovable boxy styling.

CONS
Noisy when cruising,
cornering at speed is anxiety inducing,
silly expensive.

If the G-Wagen is your thing, the 2021 Mercedes G-Class is arguably the greatest on-road, off-road, and everywhere in between.

PROS
Imposing stance
Luxurious interior
Far from uninteresting
Serious off-road ability
G63’s acceleration

CONS
Massive pricetag
Massive guzzler
Taller than wider interior
You're down with the image–or you're not

Porsche announced that the 2021 Cayenne Coupe will add a sporty GTS model. It uses a version of the twin-turbo 4.0-liter that powers the mighty Cayenne Turbo, generating 453 horsepower rather than the Turbo's 541. The new model also has dark exterior accents, a lowered suspension, and other performance hardware and premium features.

PROS
Perhaps the prettiest fastback SUV,
drives more like a 911 than a crossover,
diverse powertrain choices.

CONS
Base models have less luxury,
all models have less cargo space than their SUV cousins,
large wheels affect ride quality.

By:

For 2021 New GTS trim level that slots between the S and the Turbo.GTS has a 453-hp V8 and some extra performance upgrades.

PROS
Impressive handling for a crossover SUV
Wide selection of powerful engines available
Exquisite interior and build quality
Plenty of customization options

CONS
Quite a few optional features should be standard given the price tag
Gloss-black interior panels can look dirty almost immediately
Poor visibility out of the rear
Fans are weak at low speeds and noisy at high speeds

PROS
Athletic handling
Powerful engines
