    SUVs Starting Under $25K

    The cheaper end of the SUV market is booming, with plenty of smaller options available that offer SUV practicality for the price of a small hatchback.

    Best SUVs according to our experts

    01.
    Suzuki Ignis
    From
    $21,490
    9.0/10
    From
    $21,490
    The striking Suzuki Ignis remains one of Australia's cheapest new cars, thanks to sub‑$20,000 pricing, while tall styling, lofty seating positions and (some) ground clearance also put it firmly into compact crossover territory. Updated in 2020, the Series II model scores a few visual updates, but the basic, cheap and cheerful recipe remains the same. However, AEB isn't yet available on any grade.

    Renault Captur

    $33,000
    What a surprise. Today's Renault Captur has matured from a patchy curio to a sophisticated small SUV capable of taking on all rivals. From its smart design and packaging to the quality interior and engineering, the Captur II combines comfort and agility with class, to challenge premium alternatives like the Mercedes GLA. The flagship RS Line is expensive, but it's also one of this segment's best.

    Hyundai Kona

    7.4/10
    From
    $32,000
    The top electric Hyundai Kona proves it still has the looks, space and passenger comfort but how does it compete against its heavyweight rivals in an increasingly competitive EV market?

    Honda HR-V

    6.0/10
    From
    $36,700
    The third‑generation Honda HR‑V has great kerb‑side appeal ‑ the new shape and coupe‑like styling gives it some cred in a market that's flooded with 'cool' little SUVs. There's no denying Honda has the design of this one right, but after driving the Vi X for a week with my family (including two road trips)... the overall performance didn't quite match the looks.

    Mazda CX-3
    From
    $26,950
    7.4/10
    From
    $26,950
    The 'light' SUV segment is one of the most hotly contested in the Australian new‑car market and the Mazda CX‑3 leads it in sales by a country mile. But heading into its ninth year, is this evergreen performer still ahead of the ravenous pack? We spent a week with the mid‑spec Evolve model to try and find out.
