SUVs now account for 45% of global car sales. Currently 98% of them are ICE powered and together they create 700 megatonnes of CO2 per year, equivalent to that produced by Canada. Not surprisingly the biggest SUVs are the worst offenders, but in spite of opposition many people still crave their space, luxury and status. Is there a solution? Maybe, because now there\u2019s a growing number of plug-in models, so in town maybe their gas guzzling engines will never turn on? In test one we drive 4 leading models and investigate the luxury levels on offer, while checking if the EV-only range is what the makers claim. Cars are Porsche Cayenne, Volvo XC90, Audi Q7 and BMW X5.<\/p>\n
