2026 Lincoln Nautilus
The Nautilus is the midsize SUV from Lincoln. It is a luxury SUV that offers outstanding cargo space behind the rear bench seat (1,030 L).
It is also the least expensive midsize luxury SUV on this list, starting at only $63,545 for the Premiere trim.
The reliability and performance of the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus also make it one of the best used luxury SUVs.
2026 Lincoln Aviator
The first of two three-row Lincoln SUVs, the Aviator is a luxury SUV that brings comfort to the whole family.
Along with offering the largest maximum cargo space on this list (2,149 L), it features a powerful powertrain that develops 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, so driving is as pleasant as possible.
2026 Lincoln Corsair
Lincoln's small luxury SUV, the Corsair, delivers remarkable value. In addition to being the most affordable SUV on this list, it offers a maximum towing capacity of 3,000 lb., making it one of the most versatile compact SUVs on the market.
It also offers an optional hybrid powertrain, letting you make an eco-friendly choice while getting Lincoln quality.
The 2026 Lincoln Corsair is, without a doubt, the best compact luxury SUV.
2026 Lincoln Navigator
The Lincoln Navigator is the pinnacle of luxury and comfort. In addition to offering an impressive maximum cargo space of 1,022 L behind the third row, it delivers a towing capacity of 8,700 lb., the best among the luxury SUVs in our top 10.
Whether for its performance or its on-board technologies, which include a Revel Ultima 3D sound system and BlueCruise hands-free driving, the Lincoln Navigator is, without a doubt, the best luxury family SUV.
2026 Cadillac XT5
The Cadillac XT5 is an excellent compact SUV that offers performance similar to the Lincoln Corsair at a somewhat higher price.
2026 BMW X5
The BMW X5 is a great choice for performance enthusiasts. Despite an extremely powerful powertrain (523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque), it shows rather low towing and cargo capacities.
