SUV Superbuild

In 1947, automotive designer Maurice Wilks had an idea: to build his own off-road machine! Little does anyone know how transformative this simple idea will become or that it will launch a civilized off-road revolution. Over the next twenty years, Land Rovers became synonymous with wilderness expeditions and conquering terrain deemed too challenging for nearly every other machine on the market.

For the past two decades, Jaguar has faced an existential crisis - What kind of carmaker do they want and need to be? To survive, Jaguar needs to adapt and evolve. The F-Pace is their first SUV and, without a doubt, their most important machine ever built. Now, the question is whether or not an often-aristocratic marque can transform into an affordable and, more importantly, credible one.

The Mercedes G-Wagon has been in production for over thirty-four years and was originally conceived to excel in military and municipal duty. It is one of the longest-running Mercedes designs ever created and surprisingly has transformed from a purely militaristic machine into one of the highest-end, high-performance, four-wheel drive mega-machines on the market.

Maserati has been full of Italian soul for years, but it has always stayed one step behind. But now, Maserati is finally free to chart its own course. Their first gamble is leaving sporting roots behind to find new buyers with a brand-new SUV. It is the first SUV ever built by the company. Now, the hopes and dreams of an entire brand rest on the success or failure of a single machine.

The Bentley Bentayga is the most eagerly awaited sports utility vehicle ever announced. Introduced in 2012, the original concept for the machine was a critical disaster, so the team was forced to go back to the drawing board. The goal was simple: to expand Bentley's customer base while retaining the brand's core values. This is no ordinary task, but the Bentayga is no ordinary SUV.

The Chevrolet Suburban SUV is one of the longest-running nameplates in the automotive world and the longest-continuously produced vehicle ever built. Today, it's a three-row, seven-seated monster with room for a full set of suitcases. Built in Texas at one of the largest automotive factories in the world, this mega people mover is built with pride, passion and just a bit of Texas grit!

For years, Alfa Romeo has battled on the track, in the showroom and the hearts and minds of the Italian population. However, the brand is aimlessly drifting and in danger of dying. So, a small dedicated team doubles down on a radical new design. Now, they're taking the next step and introducing their first SUV. Whether it succeeds or fails will finally answer if Alfa Romeo can survive.

In 1949, Volkswagen introduced a radical product: the Microbus! This funky little machine was a forerunner for the modern SUV. Adopted by hippies and families worldwide, the Microbus became synonymous with road-tripping adventure! Sixty-eight years later, VW is at it again, with a brand new full-size SUV called the Atlas built in one of Tennessee's largest and most modern factories!

Porsche éprouvait des difficultés financières. Pour survivre, ils ont utilisé leur expertise en matière de voitures de sport pour créer leur premier VUS, le Cayenne. Cette avancée audacieuse vers de nouveaux territoires a sauvé l'entreprise.

Lamborghini has always been known for building sexy, fast hypercars that stand out. Now, they're going one step further and perhaps making their founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini, roll over in his grave by building the world's fastest SUV. For some, this is sacrilege; for others, it is a time-appropriate change, and whether the Lamborghini faithful come around all comes down to a single lap time!
