The 10 Most Powerful SUVs You Can Buy Brand-New in 2026

A new 2026 list in America highlights the most powerful SUVs available brand-new, featuring a mix of fully electric and internal combustion vehicles. At No. 10, the Ferrari Purosangue leads with 715 hp and 528 lb-ft of torque from a 6.5-liter V12 paired to an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic and all-wheel drive. The article notes the V12 makes it the only such engine on the list and that the lower horsepower versus other Ferrari V12 models is consistent with an SUV’s torque focus. It also flags controversy, including that the Purosangue replaces the brand’s GTC4 Lusso. The No. 9 spot is assigned to the Aston Martin DBX S, rated at 717 hp and 664 lb-ft.
