Best SUVs according to our experts

01.
Toyota RAV4
From
$39,760
8/10
From
$39,760

Toyota's RAV4 order books are full to bursting and wait times are blowing out to 18 months or more, but that hasn't stopped people continuing to register their interest to buy one of these insanely popular mid‑sized SUVs.And it's no surprise because the RAV4 makes a lot of sense as a comfortable family 2WD wagon.But in a highly competitive market has this medium SUV lost its shine?


02.
Mazda CX-9
From
$36,995
9/10
From
$36,995

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.


03.
Volvo XC60
From
$73,990
8.4/10
From
$73,990

The XC60 proves that comfort and safety still appear to be at the top of the priority list for Volvo but style is being retuned to make this medium‑sized SUV a true competitor against its luxury rivals, the BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Lexus NX. The question is, has it been successful?


04.
Hyundai Santa Fe
From
$44,790
8/10
From
$44,790

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


05.
Ford Everest
From
$53,990
7.8/10
From
$53,990

The Ford Ranger Wildtrak has found favour with Australia's ute‑loving public over recent years. Now Ford has launched the Everest Wildtrak.But beyond a few styling changes, the Wildtrak is really no different to the Everest Sport.We know the Everest is refined on‑road and capable off‑road, but is the Wildtrak, priced at more than $74,000, worth the extra money over its stablemates?
