Luxury and affordability rarely go hand-in-hand, but there is an “affordable” side to the luxury SUV market.
These are well-equipped SUVs that go just far enough beyond sensibility or sportiness to fall into the luxury category.
Features are plentiful, more than one would need, and power figures are high.
These luxurious vehicles often boast prestigious badges, too, such as those of BMW, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche.
While they’re not affordable to the average car buyers, they are much cheaper than what’s on offer from the likes of Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and Maybach.
The luxury SUVs
The South African market has many premium brands that offer luxurious SUVs at a relatively affordable price – which we have listed below.
One standout vehicle in this category is the entry-level BMW iX electric SUV. It’s cheaper than the company’s X7 flagship, while offering more power and as many features.
