Stylish but not afraid to get dirty
The Ride: Range Rover Sport
MSRP: From $66,750
Special features: Combines British luxury with plenty of power and legit off-roading chops.
Our test driver says: “While you might be tempted by the 340-horsepower supercharged V6, opt instead for the crazy efficient—and still plenty powerful—turbo diesel.”
Why it’s great for an entrepreneur:
On the road to success
The ride: Mazda CX-5
MSRP: From $25,915
Special features: Voice-command “infotainment center,” SMS text message audio delivery and reply
Our test driver says: “Small enough to easily zip around the city — and find parking! Storage in the back held a ton of my gear and suitcases. I could live on the road for a while in this thing.”
Why it’s great for an entrepreneur: Economical, yet stylish and some cool tech features. Also, fun to drive!
Next-level achievement
The ride: Lexus LC500
MSRP: From $92,000
Special features: One of the most visually striking cars on the road today, the LC500’s 5-liter V8 backs up the good looks with a walloping 471 horsepower.
Our test driver says: “You’ll know Lexus’ new flagship luxury coupe means business the second you step on the accelerator and hear that V8 start to roar.”
Why it’s great for an entrepreneur: Makes a statement every time you show up.

Style meets value
The ride: Buick Regal GS
MSRP: From $39,990
Special features: All new for 2018, the smartly styled Regal has plenty of oomph (310 horsepower), a sumptuous interior (messaging seats are standard), and great connectivity (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are also standard).
Our test driver says: “Taking power, design, luxury, and tech features into account, you’d be hard-pressed to find anything better for the price.”
Why it’s great for an entrepreneur: Show off your American pride as well as your understanding of the value of a dollar — and stay connected while doing it. Also a great choice for road warriors who want the convenience of a midsize sedan.
The future is now
The ride: Tesla Model 3
MSRP: From $35,000 (before incentives)
Special features: The first truly affordable Tesla, the fully electric Model 3 has an impressive range of 215 miles, but it can still accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 6 seconds. Now that’s some practical fun.
Our test driver says: “It’s Elon Musk‘s people-mover for the masses, and it’s an incredible machine. But beware: If you order one today, it’ll take 12 to 18 months to get to you.”
Why it’s great for an entrepreneur: The Model 3 can accommodate 5 full-size adults and has 15 cubic-feet of cargo room, but it’s small enough that zipping around a city and squeezing into tight spots are non-issues.

Ultimate dream machine
The ride: Lamborghini Huracán Performante
MSRP: From $274,390
Special features: Just look at this thing—it’s the car you’d plaster all over your bedroom wall if such practices were acceptable for grown ups.
Our test driver says: “Lamborghini’s most track-worthy supercar ever has a V10 that churns out an utterly insane 660 horsepower. It hits 60 mph in under 3 seconds all the way to top speed of over 200 mph. Wow.”
Why it’s great for an entrepreneur: Practical? No. Does it make a statement that stays behind long after you blast out of the parking lot? Hell yes.

Smart, sleek and super-fun
The ride: Honda Urban EV Concept
MSRP: n/a
Our test driver says: “Slated to go into production in 2019, the Urban EV Concept looks like a cross between a late-’70s Civic and a Volkswagen Rabbit. The retro vibe is strong in this one.”
Why it’s great for an entrepreneur: Though the price has yet to be announced, Honda will no doubt keep costs low, making this the ideal car for urbanites looking for great value and cutting-edge tech in the smallest possible package.

The ride: Rezvani Tank
MSRP: From $178,000
Special features: Categorized as an “Xtreme Utility Vehicle” (or XUV) by California-based Rezvani Motors, the appropriately named Tank is a military-inspired, 500-horsepower beast that’s actually built on a Jeep Wrangler chassis.
Our test driver says: “With the demise of Hummer, lovers of massive metal and crazy power have been without an object of desire. Not anymore.”
Why it’s great for an entrepreneur: If you’re looking to combine the shock-and-awe of the Lamborghini with the go-anywhere capability of the Range Rover, the Rezvani is your car. Er, your tank.
