Large SUVs

If a midsize SUV just isn't big enough to cut it, the only way is up. Large SUVs tend to swallow three child seats across the back row, and generally have an extra pair of seats for occasional use in the back. Either way, you can bank on plenty of cargo space and excellent all-round practicality. 

Best SUVs according to our experts

01.
Volkswagen Touareg
From
$89,240
8/10
From
$89,240

The facelifted Volkswagen Touareg has finally arrived in Australia 12 months after its European debut. A tweaked four‑strong range runs from $86,790 to $129,990 before on‑road costs, and the tested 170TDI is the most affordable.


02.
Ford Everest
From
$53,990
8.1/10
From
$53,990

Australia has long held a soft spot for the Ford Everest but does the updated Sport 4WD variant continue to offer families the option of urban hauling and weekend adventuring?


03.
Volvo XC90
From
$89,890
9.5/10
From
$89,890

A big seven‑seater with luxury appointments and fuel consumption better than most hatchbacks? There's a lot to like about the XC90 Recharge Ultimate plug‑in hybrid, even if it wears a price tag well above a hundred grand.


04.
Mazda CX-9
From
$34,990
9/10
From
$34,990

The top‑of‑the‑line model for Mazda's largest SUV is a stunning entry and showcases serious style in a market where SUVs can lean towards boxy and rugged. For those wanting the practicality and space of an SUV but something that feels elegant, this might just be the ticket.


05.
Toyota Prado
From
$62,830
7/10
From
$62,830

The 2024 Toyota Prado is on its way but should you even bother waiting or should you just get into a current‑generation Prado?Sure, the new‑gen Prado will look very different and is tipped to have features not onboard the current Prado, but it'll also have a mild‑hybrid 2.8‑litre turbo‑diesel engine, producing the same power and torque as the current Prado.So, does the Kakadu represent a good buy?
