SUVs

SUVs come in all shapes and sizes now. There are compact and subcompact SUVs which are more suited for city driving, while there are also full-size 7/8-seater SUVs with acres of seating space.

If you prefer these qualities in your next car, a used SUV remains unbeatable. With numerous options from almost all brands, you will also be spoilt for choice when it comes to picking a used SUV.

SUV buying guide

Though many SUVs come with four-wheel-drive included as standard, plenty of SUVs aren't off-roaders per se, so have a good look underneath the SUV for any signs of damage where previous owners have taken it beyond its abilities. With these models often being bought by families, it's also worth checking the condition of tyres, and if the seats fold and slide as they should.

There are other conventional things to think about, such as whether you need four-wheel-drive? Though it can be useful in winter or if you regularly go off the beaten track, if you live in a town or city, it's likely surplus to requirements, and might result in steeper running costs. SUV is also a broad body style, as it includes everything from compact city SUVs to full-blown rugged 4X4s built for the wilderness.
