Up next Reviving a Classic: 7.3L Powerstroke Common Repairs and Performance Upgrades Published on October 03, 2023 Author DW STAFF Share article Facebook 0 Twitter 0 Mail 0 Upgrade Your Ride: Sporty Diesel SUVs for the Modern Family Glammed Grocery Getters Having a mid-life crisis and buying a sports car doesn’t have to be just a dream. Rather than getting a car that would likely be driven once a week, a better consideration may be upgrading the current vehicles in your possession. That’s why many people turn to sporty SUVs, as they’re better for being driven daily. There’s plenty of automotive manufacturers that produce pricey SUVs with 1000 hp, but that’s not always realistic. As a result, manufacturers like BMW, Land Rover, Lexus, Mercedes, and Porsche have began offering more ideal SUVs that are designed for the average busy family. It’s important to note that while buying a car brand-new is fun, it’s also a very unwise investment unless it’s a car that’s guaranteed to rise in value. With that being said, searching for used cars is a very smart decision, and will minimize any extra costs that may be incurred with buying a brand new sports car. Playing with money can be fun, but transmission replacements aren’t. With that being said, here’s a list of some fun diesel SUVs that are well-built, sporty, and perfect for a family that’s constantly moving around! Range Rover (L405) Subscribe Our Weekly Newsletter The Range Rover is undoubtedly one of the most versatile SUVs in the market, as it’s built to withstand virtually anything that’s thrown at it. Land Rover, who produced Range Rover, has had a reputation of producing cars with substandard reliability. However, with the merging of companies and increased oversight, the newer models released by Range Rover are becoming better in terms of their reliability.
