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 Sorento
From
$47,650
8/10
From
$47,650

The new Kia Sorento HEV GT‑Line AWD is another entry to the growing hybrid market and competes against heavy hitters like the Hyundai Santa Fe and Toyota Kluger, but what makes it different from the competitors?


03.
Hyundai Santa Fe
From
$46,050
8/10
From
$46,050

Hyundai might be late to the hybrid SUV party, but its Santa Fe might be the best family SUV available in Australia right now.


04.
Mazda CX-9
From
$42,990
9/10
From
$42,990

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.


05.
Volkswagen Tiguan
From
$42,490
8.1/10
From
$42,490

The Volkswagen Tiguan R Grid Edition costs less than the Tiguan R, with all the wild and beastly performance of the hi‑po SUV it's based on. So what's the catch?
