2024 Lexus GX
The non-hybrid Lexus GX550 runs on a powerful 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, producing 349hp and 649Nm of torque.
Lexus mentioned that a hybrid version may be introduced later, as Lexus expands its lineup with more hybrid and electric models.
The first-ever Overtrail models of the GX are designed for rugged performance, equipped with advanced features to enhance off-road capabilities.
Technologies like electronically controlled locking rear differential, Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, and Downhill Assist Control work together with the Full-Time 4WD system, ensuring excellent traction on challenging terrains.
Inside, the GX offers cutting-edge technology. The Lexus Interface allows personalized multimedia control, while premium features like the optional 21-speaker Mark Levinson® Premium Surround Sound system offer a luxurious audio experience.
Advanced technologies such as the Head-Up Display, Panoramic View Monitor, and Digital Rearview Mirror further enhance convenience.
The Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 includes a pre-collision system that alerts you to cross traffic at intersections and can automatically slow down the vehicle when pedestrians are detected ahead.
These standard safety and convenience features provide added assurance during every drive.
Aston Martin Vantage
According to Gulf News, the new Vantage is the most important car in Aston Martin’s 111-year history. It competes directly with Porsche’s popular 911 and holds its own.
The Vantage has been completely redesigned with a new interior and supercar performance to rival the best German cars.
It features an upgraded 4.0-liter V8 engine, allowing it to reach speeds of 325 km/h in its base model.
Dodge Charger
For fans of the 1970s muscle car era, Dodge presents the new 2024 Charger with a modern twist.
Instead of the classic V8, you can choose between a six-cylinder petrol engine or a fully electric drivetrain.
The electric version features a 400-volt architecture and offers a range of 500 km, combining iconic retro looks with modern technology.
Rolls-Royce Phantom
According to Goodwood Road & Racing, Rolls-Royce stands at the pinnacle of luxury as it always has.
Despite all Rolls-Royce cars being luxurious, some stand out even more. With BMW’s backing, models like the Ghost, Wraith, and Dawn benefit from shared platforms with the 7 Series, which helps in efficiency.
However, none of these can match the grandeur of the Phantom. Its size makes it dominate the road, towering over all other vehicles, including SUVs.
Audi A7
According to US News and World Report, the 2024 Audi A7 got a makeover with updated exterior styling.
It’s considered one of the top luxury large cars available, featuring a stylish cabin with excellent build quality.
Opt for the Prestige trim for even more features. It includes intersection assist and traffic-sign recognition for safer driving. Park assist helps navigate tight parking spots, while power soft-closing doors and a head-up display enhance convenience.
The Prestige trim also offers a Luxury package with massaging front seats and high-quality Valcona or Milano leather upholstery.
Range Rover SV
According to Goodwood Road & Racing, Range Rover is credited with pioneering luxury SUVs and is now seeing the rest of the industry, including Rolls-Royce, catching up.
Every Range Rover is packed with comfort features, but recognizing the demand for more, the Special Vehicle Operations department created the SV.
This model offers enhanced trim, materials, and extensive customization options. Prices vary widely due to personalization choices.
Especially luxurious is the SV Signature Suite specification, exclusive to Long Wheel Base models. It replaces the rear three-seat bench with two individual airline-style seats for “the ultimate passenger experience.”
Powered by a new BMW-derived 530PS (390kW) twin-turbo V8 engine, it delivers impressive performance, even compared to the previous Range Rover SVA Dynamic.
