1. Land Rover Discovery

The Discovery, unarguably, is one of the best offerings from the stable of Land Rover. If you think the earlier versions of Discovery were spacious, the 2017 rendition of the iconic car with seven seats is sure to floor you. The rearmost seats are enough roomy even for adults. Yet another striking feature is the cabin’s classy finish. The extensive use of aluminum helps keep a check on the car’s weight, without impacting its practicality. Discovery comes with a revolutionary 2.0 Litre Ingenium Diesel Engine that helps control running costs.

2. 2017 Tesla Model X

When it comes to promoting responsible motoring, Tesla has been leading from the front by designing stylish electric cars that are second to none performance-wise. The Model X carries the manufacturer’s legacy. The 2017 model gets many improvements such as a foldable middle row over the 2016 version. The Model X comes with Tesla’s stylish synthetic seat covering. Thanks to the 100 kilowatt-hour battery pack option, the range for the new model has considerably increased. The Model X comes with Tesla’s second -generation AutoPilot, called AP2.

3. 2017 BMW X5

Combining the best of both worlds, the X5’s diesel engine makes an impressive 413 pound-feet of torque, and returns respectable figures of 29 mpg on the highway. BMW (yet again) delights with the superior cabin design and use of varied materials on the dashboard. The car comes with a Driving Assistance Package and the state-of-the art iDrive 5.0 infotainment system. Other features include a heated steering wheel, adaptive full-LED headlamps with automatic high beams, and interior ambient illumination.

4. Volvo XC60

The XC60 has been the best selling car for Volvo since 2009. The XC60 offers some of the most comfortable front seats in the industry. The 2017 model is equipped with a four-cylinder Drive-E powertrain. Plenty of passenger and boot space,and tech such as TFT screens, and a refined infotainment software welcome passengers. Like other Volvo cars, the XC60, too, is loaded with safety features such as pedestrian, cyclist, and animal detection, road edge detection, and emergency braking.
