Bentley Bentayga

BEST FOR

Golf club bragging rights

Nobody needs a $230,000 SUV, but

that’s not really the point. Most of

these will only go off-road when the

country club is repaving its driveway,

but the 600 hp, 12-cylinder engine

will certainly get you to your tee time

on schedule (even if you’re also tow-

ing your 7,000-pound sailboat). Did we

mention that the Bentayga has a top

speed of 187 mph and can accelerate

from zero to 60 in 4 seconds?

30 TECH GUIDE 2017 MEN’S^ HEALTH

Audi A7

BEST FOR

All-around fun and adventure

The A7 has everything we could want for short com-

mutes and long road trips: power when it’s needed

(courtesy of the 333 hp, 8-speed V6), sleek styling, all-

wheel drive, and curb appeal of the gods. The interior is

so sublime and tasteful—our test car had “cedar brown”

leather—that you may not want to get out of it when you

arrive home from work. From $68,800, audiusa.com

Combine a buttery leather

interior with Naim Audio

blasting out 1,950 watts

through 20 speakers, and

you have a club on wheels.

BMW i8

BEST FOR

Attention hogs

You’re guaranteed to attract a crowd when you pull up at the

Dairy Queen in BMW’s plug-in hybrid two-seater—and that’s

before you pop open the butterfly doors and casually step

out to order your Buster Bar. During the week we drove this

aluminum-and-carbon-fiber beast, we never parked anywhere

without having to answer questions from bystanders: “No,

it’s not mine.” “Yes, it’s fast.” (Zero to 62 in 3.6 seconds.) “I’ve

been getting better than 70 mpg.” “Around 140K.” The i8 can

cruise all-electric for about 10 miles, but it’s best to let the car’s

computer decide how to balance its 3-cylinder twin turbo

engine and electric motor. From $140,700, bmwusa.com

2017 Mercedes-

Benz E300

BEST FOR

The accident-prone

The new E-class Benz

isn’t a car, it’s a butler:

steering, accelerating,

and braking by itself

while simultaneously

scanning the road on

all sides for pedestri-

ans, road hazards, and

stopped traffic. From

$52,150, mbusa.com

Toyota Land

Cruiser

BEST FOR

Safari in style

Under the luxe leather

is one of the most reli-

able off-road vehicles

you’ll find. If you put

Indiana Jones on four

wheels, this is how

he’d look. Its biggest

drawback: guzzling

gas at 13 mpg. From

$84,325, toyota.com

Honda

Ridgeline RTL-E

BEST FOR

Young professionals

With smart storage,

including a stash spot

in the bed, the Ridge-

line is a perfect rig for

multi taskers. It had the

best handling of any

pickup we tested. Plus,

it has speakers in the

bed. Rock on. From

$41,370, honda.com

Jaguar F-PACE

BEST FOR

Hugging curves and

handling cargo

This shot across the bow

of the folks at Porsche

comes cheap, despite

some impressive stan-

dards, such as a super-

charged 340 hp V6

and all-wheel drive. It’s

spacious and outhan-

dles many SUVs. From

$40,009, jaguarusa.com

Acura TLX

BEST FOR

BMW fanboys

It may not have quite

the taut handling,

sharp cornering, or

elegant interior of a

BMW, but the TLX is

plenty fun to drive.

The upsized 290 hp

V6 version costs 10

grand less than the

320 hp 340i, and it’s

better equipped. From
