TOP 5 PSYCHO SUVS

Two-box 4x4s with too much power

1 BENTLEY BENTAYGA SPEED

It costs £25k more than the Lamborghini Urus, and has a slightly higher top speed, but more impressively it combines this performance with square – in both senses

– styling that makes its 626bhp and 3.9sec 0-62mph time all the more incongruous.

2 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TRACKHAWK

The least expensive car here, at £89,999. This is Jeep’s most family-friendly 4x4 rendered rather frisky by a 687bhp supercharged 6.2-litre V8, hitting 62mph in 3.7sec. The chassis has been upgraded to suit,up toa point. Driving modes available at the turn of a dial include a very rare combination: Snow, Tow and Track.

3 RANGE ROVER SPORT SVR

Amid all the Defender hoopla, a reminder of one of the other great delights in the Land Rover line-up. Its supercharged 5.0-litre V8 makes 567bhp, with a 0-62mph time of 4.5 seconds, PLUS a high degree of on-road waftiness AND the o -road ability the badge guarantees. Still, at £101,810 you’re right to expect a lot.

4 PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO S E HYBRID

In years to come we’ll look back and think: what was all that about, then? Tax is the answer. Quicker than the non-hybrid Turbo, this has 671bhp, hits 62mph in 3.8sec, with a 183mph top speed and a confusing/unbelievalbe o cial mpg of 52.3-58.9. That’s what you get when you combine a 4.0-litre V8 with a 134bhp electric motor. That and 2490kg, not to mention £123,349.

5 MERCEDES AMG G63

The 63 versions of the GLC, GLE and GLS are also on the spectrum of psychosis, but going for the G-Wagen gets you 577bhp in a glorified farm vehicle weighing 2550kg and costing £143,450.
