Repair-It

As such, three of them weigh more than 3 tons, and the Caddy is pushing it at 5,870 pounds. The GL is a unit-body, though it has vestigial frame rails and weighs 5,565 pounds. The five-seat Range Rover is the "lightest" SUV present at 5,348 pounds. That said, five of these dudes run our figure eight in the 27-second range. (The GL's the quickest at 27.3 seconds, with the QX80 not too far behind the pack at 28.3 seconds.) To give you some context, a Mazda6 needs 27.3 seconds, whereas a Kia Optima requires 28.3. They ain't athletes, but neither are they dancing hippos.

The Escalade did it in 27.4. They don't feel sporty but you can technically throw around an Escalade and the MB GL around a figure 8 as fast as a Mazda6. Think about that one.

On the ride side of things, it's a happy story. Imperfection-ironing girth and relatively long wheelbases make these six big guys, as a group, ride pretty well. The lone not-good-enough verdict goes to the Navigator. "Who let the previous-generation F-150 into this Big Test?" associate online editor Benson Kong asks. Harsh? Sure is, but so is the Lincoln's ride when compared to others. The Navigator feels the most pickup-based

The weakest SUV here makes 340 horsepower. That would be the Range Rover with its supercharged, 3.0-liter V-6. Remember, though, the Range Rover has less mass to move, and as such its straight-line prowess is solidly mid-pack at 6.3 seconds to 60 mph. The QX80 also hits 60 mph in 6.3 seconds, while the Lincoln and the Mercedes both do it in 6.2 seconds. The slowest SUV to 60 mph is the 7.0-second Lexus, while the quickest is the Escalade, which gets it done in a tidy 5.9 seconds.

Efficiency
There's no way to put this kindly, but if you're a Prius fan, it's best to skip this part

Some hit close to their EPA numbers and some did not. I'll let you read the article to find out how they did. Fuel consumption wood?

You got to experience the onramp athleticism of the Suburban first hand.

It was surprisingly composed.

The Navigator with the EcoBoost V6 is looking sad, at least compared to the much-faster Escalade. The Lexus, the Escalade and the MB to an extent are distinguished by coming within fair range of their EPA estimates. The Range Rover put in a pretty pathetic showing. Performance is mid-pack but fell way short of its EPA estimates.
