Most luxury and supercar manufacturers have now realised that, in order to remain profitable, they need to have some kind of SUV in their model lineup.
The likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce have the Bentayga and Cullinan to woo customers looking for a prestige 4x4, while the more sporty brands of Aston Martin, Lamborghini and Lotus have produced their respective takes with the DBX, Urus and Eletre models.

The bigger model may offer increased practicality, but it remains a devastatingly fast machine - and a YouTube video posted by Motorsport magazine has captured its blistering performance.
The video uploaded by Motorsport Magazine begins with a quick walkaround, but soon moves onto the main event - showing a clear view of the instrument panel.

0-62mph took 3.4 seconds, which was almost equal to Ferrari's claimed figure of 3.3 seconds.
The race to 155 mph was completed in under 15 seconds - impressive stuff, although that’s still well short of the Purosangue’s 192 mph maximum.
The car has a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 that delivers 715bhp and 716Nm of torque.
The Purosangue price tag starts at £313,120 in the UKwhich places it above the base Rolls-Royce Cullinan and Lamborghini Urus.
