2016 was the best year ever for the Infiniti QX80. The Toyota Land Cruiser’s Lexus LX570 sibling climbed to an eight-year high. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class grew its U.S. sales for a seventh consecutive year. The Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class, formerly known as the GL, reached an all-time high.

Hugely profitable when not selling at record levels, these flagship luxury SUVs are presumably far more lucrative now that sales are shooting through the roof.
