Best SUVs according to our experts

01.
Toyota RAV4
From
$39,760
7/10
From
$39,760

The Toyota RAV4 has been upgraded to a hybrid powertrain, which is perfect for those wanting to go a little greener but don't want to have the range anxiety of owning a full EV. In a growing hybrid market, will Australia's most popular SUV hold its title?


02.
Kia Sportage
From
$32,795
7/10
From
$32,795

It's easy to see why the newly facelifted Kia Sportage SX petrol is a serious competitor for the medium SUV market. The biggest pull factor is the (very healthy) price tag. However, its restyle has pushed it from being 'just okay' in the looks department to downright stylish. Add the practicality of a spacious cabin and, while it might not take the win, it certainly gets on the podium.


03.
Mazda CX-5
From
$36,110
7.5/10
From
$36,110

In Australia, we love Mazda, but one model is king above all others. After six years on sale though, should it be? We find out.


04.
Volvo XC60
From
$72,990
8.1/10
From
$72,990

The mid‑size luxury SUV segment is the most conjested when it comes to plug‑in hybrids, so how does Volvo's XC60 set itself apart?


05.
Subaru Forester
From
$37,890
8/10
From
$37,890

Subaru hasn't given the Forester a facelift and it may be banking on the 'tried & tested' popularity of models gone by but in a market saturated with medium SUVs will the old‑school design still land a podium finish?
