With the massive popularity of SUVs surpassing sedans and even the humble hatchback, it was only a matter of time before we organized a proper test drive of all available SUVs around Qatar. Gathering vehicles from all ranges of the SUV segment, we acquired compacts, mid-size, luxury, full-size and even sporty SUVs to find the best one in each respective category. Although it was difficult ranking them, we looked at design, interior quality, engines, performance, and off-road abilities.
From the smooth tarmac on the highways and the bumpy surface through small city roads, to the gravel, mud, and even sand in the great outdoors of Qatar, each and every SUV got thoroughly put through its paces.
Note that all of the awards were only given to the vehicles we were able to test. We went into this completely neutral and unbiased, judging the vehicles on their performance in several independent categories, taking into consideration their targeted market and segment.
