8.BMW X6-M: $93,900

The 2014 BMW X6-M may very well be the largest race car ever produced. BMW considered the X6-M to be a luxury crossover between a sedan and an SUV. This means it is bigger than any full-sized sedan and smaller than any mid-sized SUV.

5. Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG: $135,150

The G63 AMG is the mid-sized model of Mercedes-Benz’s G Series.

Like the full-sized model, this SUV is also fitted with an AMG 5.5 liter bi-turbo engine. So by now you are probably wondering what is so significant about the AMG engine other than its power.

Cayennes start at about $60,000 for a base model, whereas a 2014 Turbo-S sells for $146,000. It comes with a 4.8 liter Porsche twin-turbo V-8 engine capable of pushing 550 horsepower. Most vehicles with 550 horsepower are known to handle poorly. Not this SUV. Porsche made sure to get the vehicle’s weight perfectly balanced from the front to the back and then added their adjustable suspension and informative steering technologies. Despite being the top-of-the-line Cayenne, customers have shown a preference to the Turbo and the GTS. The GTS offers a lot of power, but the engine’s roar is not muffled by a turbocharger. The Cayenne Turbo is considerably cheaper than the Turbo-S and it only has fifty less horses under the hood.
