These aren’t your daddy’s SUVs. Now it’s all about crossovers, electrics, and mid-sizes, with the bulky gas-guzzling on the down slope. They say necessity is the mother of invention, and like so many things we’ve seen a major shift in what drivers want to see in regards to luxury, electronics, gadgets, and most of all efficiency. Many are deciding that space for three suitcases and two kids will suffice most of the year, if the need arises to move a small sofa they can always rent one for the day. So what we wanted to do was comprise a list of not just those that ranked high on the 2016 consumer reports list, because many of the late 16’ creations and early 17’ models won’t be on there, but also those that ranked high in style, body lines, interior, amenities, and lastly value, because it’s not practical to think most have Brittney Spears budgets and can drop 200k on fleet of black-on-black Escalades with bullet proof widows and sterling silver rims. That said, here is our list of our favorite 2016 SUVs and a sprinkle of 17s that will arrive in the 2^nd half of the year.

Like the M-Class, the GLE may not stand out in any one area, but with a supremely comfortable cabin and a variety of powertrains — including for the first time a plug-in hybrid ? it should have broad appeal. While the AMG models and two 2016 GLE Coupe versions (covered elsewhere) dial in a much sportier SUV, it was the GLE400 4Matic model I found most impressive. This mid-level variant provides lots of space, a solid smooth ride and all of the creature comforts a family would want. The interior is spectacular with its high-gloss wood trim, stitched leather, and well-crafted elements. The large display screen at the top of the center stack is clean and looks like an iPad mounted nicely between two vents.
