The luxury tier from $150 a day: Range Rover Sport, Vogue, Velar and Evoque, Audi Q7, BMW X5 and X7, Mercedes GLS and Porsche Macan, all self-drive from age 20. Reviews, seven-seater guides, airport pick-ups and long-hire advice.
The most expensive way to sit in the back of a Mercedes SUV. Two reclining rear thrones, a V8 that never raises its voice, and a ride that leans into corners so nobody spills anything. Written for the passenger as much as the driver.
A five-seat Range Rover with a 5.0-litre supercharged V8, 423kW and an exhaust that Land Rover tuned to be heard. The fastest Range Rover Sport of its generation, confirmed by request for your dates.
We run four Range Rover Sports and they are not the same car. Petrol or diesel, five seats or seven, 177kW to 294kW. Which one you get, and why it matters more than the badge does.
Seven seats, quattro all-wheel drive and the most accessible price in the luxury tier. It is the sensible one, and the spec sheet is honest about that.
The smallest thing in the luxury tier and the only one that is genuinely enjoyable to drive. Also, unglamorously, the easiest to park - which around Sydney is worth more than it sounds.
Seven seats where the third row fits actual adults, in a car that still reads as prestige. The rarest combination in the tier and the reason this one gets booked.
The car most people mean when they say luxury SUV. It is also the oldest thing we run, which is worth knowing before you book and does not stop it being the right choice.
