    Toyota RAV4
    From
    $38,490
    8.4/10
    From
    $38,490
    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?

    Kia Sorento

    Entry‑level doesn't mean sub‑par. If you're in the market for a decent seven‑seater with updated technology and a solid features list, then it's a given Kia's Sorento S diesel AWD is likely in your sights. It may not exude the posh appeal of the Sorento upper‑spec variants, such as the GT‑Line, but this practical SUV has plenty of potential as a family mover.

    Hyundai Santa Fe
    From
    $50,968
    8.5/10
    From
    $50,968
    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?

    Mazda CX-9

    $41,030
    9.0/10
    From
    $41,030
    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.
