There are just a few luxury SUVs out there, and even fewer luxurious 4 cylinders SUVs. Of the many makes and models available, there are three that take the game forward quite a bit, combining driving pleasure, handling, luxury and off road capability – the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, all using 2.0L turbocharged inline 4 motors and intelligent all wheel drive.
The BMW X3 xDrive 28i employs BMW’s twin-power turbo with direct injection technology and makes 240 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, the highest numbers amongst the three, put down to the xDrive system through an 8-speed automatic. BMW also offers quite a selection of paint, upholstery and trims to choose from and personalize your X3.
The Land Rover Evoque Si4 is a winner in the looks, equipment and abilities department and has been nominated for SUV of the Year 2012 by several global publications. With a 240 hp 251 lb-ft of torque and Land Rover’s amazing Terrain Response system aiding the four wheel drive system, this is by far one of the best luxurious 4 cylinders SUVs to choose from.
The Audi Q5 is the most docile looking of the three, which isn’t saying it looks anything less than great. Its 211 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque going to the quattro all wheel drive system give it sprightly performance and good bottom end power delivery for rough weather or bad road conditions.

The one thing I did was look at
I encountered possibly the greatest fear of all â that is going into
