There's something oddly satisfying about seeing two SUVs that occupy the podium of the segment when it comes to performance, luxury and price going for some good old rugged terrain adventures.
This is precisely what we get to see in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page - you know us, we couldn't keep the motorized satisfaction to ourselves, so we had to share it with you.

The Bentley Bentayga and Maserati Levante offroading action you see here takes place at the Ascari Race Resort in the south of Spain.

At first, one might wonder what kind of event would bring these two high-riding lavish machines together. The hostilities were initiated by C.de Salamanca, a famous Spanish multi-brand dealer whose portfolio includes top-class names such as the ones we have here.

After all, the two don't exactly share customers, so keeping an open-minded attitude is key to enjoying their no-asphalt episode, whether we're talking about their association or refraining from cringing when seeing the luxuriously trimmed machines being tasked with running offroad errands.

And while a very small percentage of the SUV clientele uses these vehicles in the manner seen here, which, by the way, would classify as light-to-moderate offroading, we'll all have to get used to the idea of seeing the exquisite badges getting dirty.

While the Porsche Cayenne has been destroying stereotype for almost a decade and a half now, Lamborghini is now preparing for the 2018 launch of the Urus SUV. And even if we consider that we'll probably get to meet the LM002's spiritual successor over the web next year, it's still amazing how Sant'Agata Bolognese had to wait for so long before giving the green light to the project - the Urus concept bowed back in 2012 and has grabbed the production "slot" that could've gone to the 2008 Lamborghini sedan concept, remember?

After quickly remind you that Aston Martin is also on track to delivering its first SUV, the DBX (production kicks off in 2019), we'll ask you to hit the "play" button below and enjoy the uber-special SUVs that are already on the market.
