30. BENTLEY BENTAYGA

WHEN the Bentley Bentayga arrived in 2016, it reset the benchmarks for SUV luxury and performance. With its traditional hand-finished cabin and prodigious power, nothing currently comes close in this class.

While a more efficient plug-in hybrid is coming, the recently introduced 4.0-litre diesel is the most efficient version. It has nearly as much pace as the W12, but everyday economy is around 25mpg, rather than in the teens. Price range: £137,055-£234,055 Our pick: 4.0 V8 Auto Engine: 4.0-litre V8 diesel, 429bhp Transmission: 8-spd auto, permanent 4WD Top speed: 167mph Economy: 35.8mpg CO2: 210g/km
