It's certainly not because of build quality or even reliability that the Bronco makes this list. But for driving pleasure and off-road capability, the Bronco is unmatched, except perhaps by Jeep's Wrangler or Toyota's 4Runner.

In the case of the smallest SUV to come out of the luxury division, the design seems to appeal to most people since it hit the market in 2022. What's more, the GV70 is already available with a 4-cylinder engine, another with a V6 engine, as well as a fully electric option.

Despite the years and the changes in the competition, Kia's largest model continues to appeal to families who need a more spacious vehicle. Let's bet that the Kia EV9, the Telluride's electric successor, will continue the tradition starting next year.

The addition of this extended version certainly appeals to consumers looking for luxury, comfort and incredible off-road capabilities. Plus, the retro vibe isn't half bad either.
