The combination of design and power is what really determines the high resale value of the vehicles listed here. The Mercedes-Benz GLE (freshly renamed in 2016, recall) is not only available with a fine array of different powertrains, but its overall level of quality is also worthy of note.

The category of large luxury SUVs is quite varied. Take the three top performers on CBB’S 2020 list, which includes an old military vehicle (G-Class), a big American mastodon (Navigator) and a slick, more-refined SUV (Range Rover Sport). Talk about variety.

As the Canadian Black Book reminds us, the purchase of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class is primarily an impulse decision (for well-heeled buyers, of course), catalyzed by the image of the model rather than the smooth ride delivered by this all-purpose 4x4.
