Among this group, we had our marks on the quirky Mercedes-Benz G350 as the winner if not for its sheer size, then for its rarity. But the Volkswagen Touareg gets a close second for being among the best handling SUV we’ve ever driven and a perfect companion for drives up to Malaysia.

However, our readers gave an overwhelming number of votes to the X6 M50d. Surely in no doubt helped along by the triple turbo powerplant underneath. Despite its large size, we loved its sedan like handling characteristics that doesn’t betray its height and dimensions. A well deserved win in our opinion.
