I modified your XML format to support multiple Automobile groups:

        <XmlDataProvider x:Key="src">
        <x:XData>
            <Automobiles xmlns="">
                <Automobile>
                    <Id>24</Id>
                    <Category>Cars</Category>
                    <MakeName>Audi</MakeName>
                    <Suvs>
                        <SuvId>audiItem1</SuvId>
                        <SuvId>audiItem2</SuvId>
                        <SuvId>audiItem3</SuvId>
                        <SuvId>audiItem4</SuvId>
                    </Suvs>
                    <IsPanel>1</IsPanel>
                    <IsFav>1</IsFav>
                </Automobile>
                <Automobile>
                    <Id>24</Id>
                    <Category>Cars</Category>
                    <MakeName>BMW</MakeName>
                    <Suvs>
                        <SuvId>bmwItem1</SuvId>
                        <SuvId>bmwItem2</SuvId>
                        <SuvId>bmwItem3</SuvId>
                        <SuvId>bmwItem4</SuvId>
                    </Suvs>
                    <IsPanel>1</IsPanel>
                    <IsFav>1</IsFav>
                </Automobile>
            </Automobiles>
        </x:XData>
    </XmlDataProvider>

I hooked up both a context menu and a tooltip. Below is how I wired up the bindings:

<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource src}, XPath=/Automobiles/Automobile}">
        <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Grid>
                    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                        <StackPanel.ContextMenu>
                            <ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=Suvs}">
                                <ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
                                    <DataTemplate>
                                        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                                            <TextBlock Text="SUV ID: " />
                                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=SuvId}" />
                                        </StackPanel>
                                    </DataTemplate>
                                </ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
                            </ContextMenu>
                        </StackPanel.ContextMenu>
                        <StackPanel.ToolTip>
                            <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=Suvs/SuvId}">
                                <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                                    <DataTemplate>
                                        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                                            <TextBlock Text="SUV ID: " />
                                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding InnerText, StringFormat={}}" />
                                        </StackPanel>
                                    </DataTemplate>
                                </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                            </ListBox>
                        </StackPanel.ToolTip>
                        <TextBlock Text="Make: " />
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=MakeName}" />
                    </StackPanel>
                </Grid>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
