Selection of the best SUVs cut for the year 2023

What a luxury coupe to buy in 2023 ?

Top 5 of our favorite cut SUVs

This is indisputably the fashionable silhouette. There are now SUVs with a fleeting stern for all tastes. But therefore how to choose ? Here are our favorite cuts to editorial staff, classified by type of motorization.

1. The Hybrid Coupé SUV: Honda HR-V E: HEV

For its new life, the most compact SUV in the Honda catalog has offered itself a more charismatic style. With a painted grille but also a fleeting stern. What give it a more attractive cut-out SUV look, but without pouring into the “bling-bling”. And above all, without harming its practical qualities.

This is indeed what we like with HR-V: its unique “magic seats” in the back (possibility of raising the foundations to easily insert high objects) and its pleasant little attentions (like its aerators which diffuse the air around the occupants rather than blowing them directly in their face).

And then there is also its hybrid motorization marked E: HEV. It is effective and pleasant, at least as long as you keep a flexible driving.

2. The plug -in hybrid sudo: Mercedes GLC coupé

If we had to keep only one of our list, that would be this one. For what ? Because with its excellent rechargeable hybrid engines (available both in petrol and in diesel), the GLC coupé can shine in almost all categories: hybrid, electric and thermal ! For its new life, the GLC coupé is indeed equipped with a gigantic battery of 31.2 kWh ! For comparison, it is more than double the storage capacity of German competitors plug-in that store less than 15 kWh.

In practice, this battery authorizes an electric autonomy which can increase up to 130 km ! What to enjoy an electric vehicle during the week. In addition, Mercedes teams its GLC plug -in hybrid cuts with fast recharge (up to 60 kW), still rare attention on hybrids. We can then really maximize the electric driving, even on long journeys. We also noticed it during our report, covering more than 3.000 km with his brother in the conventional GLC stern.

And then, beyond that, the GLC coupé is the versatile SUV par excellence: ultra comfortable (thanks to its pneumatic damping in particular), sporting on demand (thanks to its four steering wheels) and equipped with technological equipment point.

3. The electric cut SUV: Volvo C40 Recharge and Audi Q8 e-tron sportback

For the electric SUV category, let’s be chauvin and put the two representatives of the genus “made in Belgium” ex-aequo on the first step of our virtual podium. We can, in fact, be proud to have two electric cuts made in our small country to the world !

In addition, it would be difficult not to appreciate them given their rather selector styles and their services.

As a reminder, the Volvo electric SUV has just benefited from a technical reshuffle (which notably passes its single tension traction motor version, which marks the return of a Volvo propulsion to the catalog after more than 25 years of absence !)). In its versions equipped with the largest battery, the C40 recharging also passes the 500 km of autonomy bar.

As for the large coupé SUV made in Forest and struck by the four rings, he also took advantage of a redesign at the start of the year. In addition to a change of name (he offered himself the nickname “Q8” alongside E-Tron Sportback) and style, he took advantage of technical improvements. What allow it to aim for the 600 km of autonomy bar.

4. The thermal coupe SUV: Porsche Cayenne Coupé S

The choice is vast among thermal cut SUVs. But if we do not look at the expense, then we could be tempted by the cayenne coupes vintage 2023. It must be said that the modifications made by Porsche for the “facelift” of his large SUV hold more from the complete overhaul than cosmetic development: new dashboard (with a specific screen to entertain the passenger); new ground links and new engines.

If it is now necessary to do without the explosive turbo GT version (which is only reserved for extra-European markets), we will console ourselves by learning that the cayenne coupe s rocked his previous V6 against A V8 on this new vintage. Enough to increase its power by 34 hp (474 ​​hp) and its torque by 50 Nm (600 Nm), all by better controlling its CO2 emissions and its consumption. If, the engineer on site during the international test confirmed that this change of block was corollary from hunt for emissions in Europe, the V8 4.0 L BITURBO offering more latitude to gain power while reducing the emissions than the previous V6. Come on, all hope is not lost !

5. The “hyper” SUV coupe: Lotus Elter

Finally, we finish our little shopping-list with a “hyper suv” with a fleeting stern. We would certainly have loved putting the Ferrari Purosangue at the top of this category. But on the one hand, Purosangue is a “crossover”, SUV is too vulgar for a Ferrari. But above all, we admit that we have not yet been able to get our hands on this model at the editorial staff. So we reserve our opinion. On the other hand, we have just discovered the hyper-Suv signed Lotus, the Elertre. And if it is of course very different from the models offered by Lotus so far, it must be recognized that it excels in all areas. Especially in that of performance with its most nasty “R” variant that develops a total of 675 kW (905 hp) and 985 Nm of torque ! Enough to be catapulted from the stop to 100 km/h in less than three seconds. For a “beast” over 5 m long allowing to take on your family also, it’s pretty correct ..
