Used 4x4 Cars for Sale

4x4 Cars

Modern 4x4s are stylish, practical, sophisticated and at home in the city as they are in the countryside. They have been domesticated over the years, combining off-road capability with everyday useability. There are still some 4x4s that stuck to their past, but that is a niche today.

Compared to other SUVs, 4x4s often come in big sizes (there are exceptions like the little Jimny). They also pack a plethora of off-road tech features that will come in handy during a sticky situation. These cars are built to go anywhere and hence often compromise on road behaviour. If you can live with that, 4x4s are tough, dependable and built to last forever.

4x4 buying guide

The big question is - Do you actually need a 4x4? If you live in the countryside and you're often traversing muddy fields across hills and fields, then it is the vehicle of choice. Equally, you may want the versatility of a 4x4 if you live in an area prone to snow during winter months. If you live in a city, you may well want a 4x4 for the space and the practicality, but you probably don't need it for its off-road ability.

So, when you begin your search, it is important to think about your needs. You might be better off with an SUV that doesn’t offer a full-fledged 4x4 system or the compromises that come with it. For larger families there are seven-seater options, although the added seats will limit the amount of luggage space available. If you tow a caravan or horsebox, then a 4x4 really is a brilliant option! Depreciation is not severe on 4x4s, so while buying a used 4x4 might at the time seem high, many models hold their value well. Thanks to their popularity, there are more used 4x4s for sale than ever before. There's plenty to choose from, so if a 4x4 is high on your shopping list, you're guaranteed to find the perfect one for you.
