    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?

    Entry‑level doesn't mean sub‑par. If you're in the market for a decent seven‑seater with updated technology and a solid features list, then it's a given Kia's Sorento S diesel AWD is likely in your sights. It may not exude the posh appeal of the Sorento upper‑spec variants, such as the GT‑Line, but this practical SUV has plenty of potential as a family mover.

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

    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.

    Volkswagen Tiguan

    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?
