The sale of crossovers and SUVs along with pickup trucks has seen unrelenting growth over the past few years, with some automakers such as Ford even choosing to cease production of passenger cars altogether. U.S. Auto sales are now back at pre-pandemic levels and SUVs continue to dominate the auto market.

But ideally, it also has to have that luxury demeanor. Large, spacious, good-looking, and capable on rough roads, here are some of the best luxury full-size SUVs coming to the market in 2024.
