Hi Matthew,

The word 'SUV' means different things to different people, and the market has expanded massively in recent years to cover everything from city car-sized models to giant luxury SUVs. Also, what you define as best probably also depends on whether you need a diesel or you're happy with petrol, hybrid or electric.

Anyway, a look through the Carzone database threw up the following solid options:

Ford Kuga

Hyundai Tucson

Kia Sportage

Nissan Qashqai

Nissan X-Trail

Renault Kadjar

SEAT Ateca

Skoda Yeti
