If you are considering purchasing a new SUV, there are a range of great models available on the market. The SUV market has grown rapidly over the past five years and the new models are some of the best cars available on the market today. Here, we take a look at the best luxury SUVs, to help you pick the best option for your individual needs.
Mazda CX-5
Large SUVs were once only seen on narrow country roads, but the Mazda CX-5 is a brilliantly agile car, designed to handle both winding country roads and busy city centre streets with ease. As soon as you take a seat inside the car you will notice the sporty yet luxurious feel. With a spacious interior to fit the whole family, comfortable seats and excellent headroom, it is a vehicle every passenger will love. Each model is packed with bundles of useful features including; sat-nav, touchscreen and USB ports for your devices.
Mazda have carefully engineered all engines to provide cost-saving efficiency, but our pick of the range is the 2.2-litre diesel, with 148bhp. The engine will produce 47.4mpg on average, plenty of power without breaking the bank. If you are looking for a new SUV which provides you with complete peace of mind, this comes with a three-year warranty or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Although, for added comfort, the warranty can be extended for a fee.
Nissan Qashqai
The Qashqai was the first small SUV on the market and proved extremely popular, thanks to its raised seating position and muscular shape. If you are looking for a new SUV which is well built, without being too big, the Qashqai is the perfect option. The most basic models are well equipped and the higher specification options in the range benefit from additional safety features and styling upgrades such as larger alloys.
The Qashqai is a well-priced option among new SUVs and will fit sensibly within most budgets. This car is comfortable with small journeys in the city, but will also perform well on long motorway journeys, or trips in the country. Our pick of the engine range is the 1.5-litre dCi, which combines great performance with a fuel economy of 52.3mpg on average.
Volvo XC60
The Volvo XC60 is a popular option for families in search of a spacious interior and premium feel. The quality of this car is evident in its achievement in winning the SUV of the year award. The luxurious and comfortable interior make the XC60 a passenger friendly vehicle for every type of journey.
This SUV benefits from excellent features to each trim level with all models fitted with an infotainment system, sat-nav, Bluetooth, DAB radio, seat adjustment and lumbar adjustment. The most economical engine is the popular D4 2.0-litre diesel, which provides an impressive 188bhp. It is an ideal option for families which are looking for enhanced safety features as it scored five stars in the Euro NCAP safety text, which makes it one of the safest SUVs on the road.
