Best SUVs according to our experts

01.
Toyota RAV4
From
$37,950
8.4/10
From
$37,950
The Toyota RAV4 has proven to be the best horse in the Toyota stable and a sixth‑generation model is poised for release next year. But do we need it when the current offering is so good?
02.
Mazda CX-9
From
$36,410
9.0/10
From
$36,410
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.
03.
Volvo XC60
From
$47,999
8.4/10
From
$47,999
The XC60 proves that comfort and safety still appear to be at the top of the priority list for Volvo but style is being retuned to make this medium‑sized SUV a true competitor against its luxury rivals, the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Lexus NX. The question is, has it been successful?
04.
Hyundai Santa Fe
From
$48,990
8.5/10
From
$48,990
A front‑wheel‑drive petrol option has been added to the new Santa Fe range, but will it satisfy fans who miss the old V6 engine, and does it fall short against its hybrid siblings?
05.
Ford Everest
From
$45,990
7.5/10
From
$45,990
The Ford Everest Tremor is the latest mildly upgraded 4WD to enter the market.
