LATEST UPDATE: Most Expensive SUVs On The Market In 2014
Sport utility vehicles became all the rage in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Consumers loved their versatility. SUVs are the perfect marriage of a truck and a van. Like a truck, an SUV is powerful enough to tow heavier objects such as travel trailers and boats. However, they also have the added seating capacity only offered in a full-sized truck or mini-van. They were considered perfect for pretty much anything one required them to do. Then in the mid 2000s their popularity dropped. The oil crisis forced people to trade in their gas-guzzling SUVs in for smaller, more fuel efficient automobiles. These versatile everyday vehicles, once coveted by construction workers and soccer moms alike, now collected dust on dealership parking lots. No matter how much their prices fell, SUVs just would not sell. Now finally after a slow economic recovery, the SUV has once again become popular.
Of course, that is just the story for the everyman’s SUVs. The high-end luxury models have always sold. These typically cost twice as much as a normal SUV. However, the people who have the money to buy one of these have the money to fill up their gas tanks. The high-end luxury SUV market is growing. More and more people are becoming willing to buy one of these as opposed to an expensive luxury sedan. This trend is definitely catching the attention of some big name automakers. By 2017 it is expected that Bentley, Maserati, and Lamborghini will all release their own SUV models in the near future. It is expected the price tags on all of these will be around the $200,000 mark. With that in mind, here are the most expensive SUVs out on the market today. 10. 2014 Lexus LX 570: $83,540
The LX has been produced by Lexus since 1996. “LX” stands for “luxury crossover,” which is a bit misleading considering this is actually the company’s full-size model. The LX 570 features a 5.7 liter V-8 engine and a six speed transmission. It is capable of pushing out 383 total horsepower. The 2014 model has an added feature known as Crawl Control. When the Crawl Control is activated, anti-lock brakes kick in and the car becomes controlled by the 570′s internal computer. When the terrain becomes too intense, the driver does not need to worry at all, they just need to be able to steer the car. from http://ift.tt/19pR9bQ
