Premium German's SUVs in USA Market

The German cars are often idealized by many motorists. In its technical characteristics and majestic appearance they assert, that it’s simply impossible to exceed them in certain qualities. This was the reason that German’s SUVs are considered to be the best choice in an expensive and various segment.

Many proposals from different producers often make the choice difficult. In the matter of buying SUV, we do not always rely on the value. Much more often the main priority in the acquisition are the image and the technical component. We offer you to understand the primary benefits of the top competitors in the world of mass SUV from German producers.

Volkswagen Touareg is the leader in its class

Putting on the market the Volkswagen Touareg model, the automaker did not hope for grandiose success. The SUV is sold out from auto shows practically in all target countries even before emergence; the waiting list for a novelty was formed in USA. Nevertheless, the first generation was not as successful and technologically advanced as the present proposal of the German concern.

Today's version of the Volkswagen Touareg boasts excellent design solutions. Large SUV took firm lines of the new generation of company’s cars, pointed optics a little, got interesting reinforcing ribs on the sides and hood. Technical equipment also won’t allow the driver to be bored at a wheel:

• Engines 3.0, 3.6 and 4.2 TSI have incredible potential power (333, 249 and 360 horsepower, accordingly);
• diesel units 3.0 and 4.2 TDI are capable to strike with their starting jerk and traction characteristics;
• Transmissions are limited by a single 8-step automat for all engines;
• classical wheel-drive system helps to keep control over SUV;
• a set of useful options in the technical stuffing will make a trip not dull.

However, it is not all the benefits, which offers the buyer of Volkswagen Touareg in the new appearance. There are eight complete sets; moreover, it is possible to add extra equipment in each version. Especially the Tuareg in the R-Line version surprises. It offers so many technologies for $54,690 that any competitor won't keep up with such list.

The price of Volkswagen Touareg starts from $44,570. The version in hybrid execution will cost $64,745.

Audi Q7 is a big SUV of an acquired taste

Many call Audi Q7 too long and slow car with a huge number of unnecessary and expensive options. Nevertheless, experts of equipment of eminent German concern think differently. For them quality and status associate with four chromed rings on a front gitter, but adherents of brand remain not so much. Today it is necessary to prove constantly that the car occupies leadership in the market not for nothing.

Audi Q7 did not achieve especially notable sales in USA. Most likely, it is connected with too immodest price. However, the automaker offers good and most reliable equipment for this money. In technical terms, the SUV will please the buyer with the following features:

• 3.0 TFSI – the petrol proposal with potential of 333 horsepower- the same engine we have discussed above for the Tuareg;
• 3.0 TDI – more modest diesel option, which gives 245 horsepower;
• 4.2 TDI – the limited and very expensive version of the car;
• Tiptronic transmission is in all engines – the fine automatic transmission of the German development;
• All versions have four-wheel drive of the firm Quattro technology.

The cheapest version, which offers the excellent equipment for available money, is especially popular. It is equipped with slightly derated engine 3.0 TFSI that gives 272 horsepower. You have to pay $47,700 for this version.

Porsche Cayenne is a car for fans of extreme and sport

The Porsche Corporation belongs to the concern, which releases the previous two SUVs. The offer in a model line of the producer has appeared rather recently, but caused many tasks with a choice for potential buyers. Only the fact, that Cayenne is present in the market at ten complete sets, makes a choice difficult.

The slowest Porsche Cayenne version takes a run to 100 kilometers per hour in 7.8 seconds. The fastest one overcomes this barrier in 4.5 seconds. Technical characteristics of the car strike even when viewing official materials of the automaker. It is difficult to describe the feelings, arising at driver on test drive. Main features of model are following:

• Huge line of engines from 245 to 550 horsepower;
• Diesel fuel versions in mixed mode does not exceed 7.2 liters;
• Turbocharged engines with 500 horsepower consume about 10 liters of petrol;
• The maximum speed of Porsche Cayenne Turbo S reaches 283 kilometers per hour.

This car is for fans of very fast trips and lack of any limits. The automaker pleases with the uncommon decisions not only in equipment, but also in design. Not so long ago the renovated SUV Porsh presents fine design solutions, which differ even in different complete sets.

Nevertheless, Porsches Cayenne is bought not for any concrete decision of producers. The buyers respect a perfect combination of all interesting factors created by real professionals in the production car.

BMW X5 is SUV with character and pedigree

The Bavarian automobile company is one of the few concerns, which does not go for any merges and sales of the business in our difficult century of competition. Nevertheless, plants of corporation are located around the world, including cherished China. Construction of plant in China struck rating of cars in CIS countries, at a point in time the sales of BMW X5 fell, but the renovated generation of the car made improbable achievement, having broken a record of sales in the first year of existence in the market.

New BMW X5 was technically ideal. Its controls are equipped with thousands of sensors, which allow distinguishing, for example, that the driver fell asleep at a wheel. The car can see road marking strips, as well as to read signs. But the main advantages of X5 lie in its following characteristics:

• The 2-liter diesel is installed on basic model and develops 218 horsepower;
• the 3-liter diesel unit is available in three variations – 258, 313, 381 horsepower, the last one is installed on the bonus BMW X5 M version;
• the 3-liter petrol unit can please the driver with 305 horsepower;
• The top petrol engine on 4.4 liters gives 450 horsepower;
• transmissions are automatic in all cases.

The number of technologies and new solutions of X5 are off scale. But the price of $52,800, does not fit into described model range. The Bavarian SUV offers the maximum comfort with improbable quality of a trip.

Recently the reviews about poor quality of a suspension and transmissions from BMW began to appear in networks. Nevertheless, it is almost impossible to see the dissatisfied owner of new X5. This car takes at first sight, and personal acquaintance in the form of test drive often comes to an end with purchase.
