Sports SUV

With sports utility vehicles – SUVs – becoming ever more ubiquitous and technologically advanced, it’s no surprise some would become more about the sport than the utility. And the best are genuinely brilliant to drive. Indeed, if you have a family but yearn for the enjoyment of a sports car, then a sports SUV may well be the perfect choice.

Many of the major sports car players – Audi, Porsche and even Aston Martin and Lamborghini – are in on the act, delivering sport SUVs which deliver on that promise. These are expensive, make no mistake, but the likes of Cupra and Volkswagen are bringing the same formula to market at a far more palatable price.

The VW Tiguan R offers bombastic performance and impressive point-to-point pace, but could be more fun.

Porsche Cayenne Coupé Electric

The Porsche Cayenne Coupé Electric is a sleeker but less practical version of the Cayenne Electric SUV

It may not be the sensible SUV choice, but the Lamborghini Urus blends jaw-dropping pace with comfort and enough practicality to be usable every day

Alpine A390

from £61,390
The Alpine A390 is a sporty electric SUV that's deceptively agile and reaches 62mph in under four seconds

Porsche Macan

The Porsche Macan is definitely the one to buy if you want the best-handling SUV, but it’s pricey and falls short on space

New Audi SQ8

Mercedes-AMG GLC 63

from £49,685
Sports SUV combines impressive performance with great comfort and practicality

Audi SQ7

Cupra Formentor

from £27,800
The Formentor is a sharp-looking SUV that's good to drive and available with a wide range of petrol engines

Audi RS Q8

from £125,500
The RS Q8 is an outrageously fast sports SUV that corners with composure and mostly rides well

Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio

from £42,990
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio Q is one of the best-handling sports SUVs you can get, and that 512bhp engine is as intoxicating as ever

Audi Q3 Sportback

from £40,275
Striking to look at, but not as classy inside as you might hope

Audi SQ2

from £39,980
Beautifully built, but can't match the Cupra Ateca for practicality or driver appeal

Fast, luxurious and hugely practical, but so is the much cheaper BMW X7 M50i on which it’s based

from £58,201
The plug-in hybrid Touareg R is Volkswagen's most powerful model but there are better fast SUVs available

New Skoda Kodiaq vRS

from £33,360
The Kodiaq vRS is a comfortable seven-seat sports SUV offering brisk performance

Mercedes GLE Coupé

from £78,130
It’s got a gutsy diesel engine and a comfortable ride, but the Mercedes GLE Coupé’s price and practicality let it down.
