Best Large SUVs

A modern SUV should be practical, luxurious and fun, to be classed as one of the best on the market. Style is best, but surely cost means a great deal to you too. Below we have 5 large SUVs the automotive industry flaunts (and right so!) as some of the best. 

1) Skoda Kodiaq

A car maker with a name damaged by its very own reputation of failing to cater to the demand of expanding its fleet with more practical cars that offer a number of modern features – so in other words, Skoda has remained behind in the motor industry in terms of innovative design and infotainment devices for several years. Nevertheless, thanks to its Kodiaq SUV, Skoda have jumped ahead of the game by building one of the best large vehicles on sale today.

2) Audi Q5

The Q5 is considered one of the best SUVs in the current market and motorists all over the world rely on it to cater to their entire family on countless commutes. That said, as far as gearboxes can take you, Audi’s Q5 boasts a six-speed manual or seven-speed S-Tronic automatic; if you’d prefer a little more ‘push’ to shorten your journeys on the road, it can feature an optional eight-speed Titronic gearbox that surely won’t leave you feeling disappointed. 

3) Land Rover Discovery Sport 

You can only imagine how much it would benefit you to buy a used Land Rover version – not that £28,000 is expensive for a modern SUV. Nevertheless, the Discovery Sport features 5 seats along with an additional 2 optional seats in the rear that can be adjusted to allow you much more space and even boasts a nine-speed automatic gearbox option for an additional cost of £1,800. The standard version offers a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder 150hp turbocharged diesel engine capable of accelerating from 0 to 60mph in 10 seconds and has a top speed of 112mph. 

4) Volvo XC60

Volvo has certainly outdone many other SUV manufacturers in the motor industry – perhaps its XC60 isn’t considered the very best model, but it still ranks high enough to be mentioned on our list. That said, Volvo offers its XC60 SUV in both manual and automatic, both of which are priced roughly between £37,000 and £39,000 bought from new. In this case, when compared to the price of Land Rover’s Discovery Sport, you’d expect the XC60 to feature more advanced devices and entertainment systems for its passengers. And since we’re touching on the topic, Volvo’s XC60 features Driver Alert Control, side airbags and a whiplash injury protection system to ensure your safety while you embark on a journey or adventure 

5) BMW X3

Featuring Stability Control, six airbags and a tyre pressure monitor as a standard when bought from new, BMW’s X3 SUV is certainly one that any motorist would be thrilled to drive! On that note, being a premium car built solely to challenge some of the most dangerous conditions, you’d expect nothing less than the latest safety aids fitted during the process of the manufacture – and of course, since most of these features are a standard for practically all motors ‘nowadays, these shouldn’t affect the sale price much. Indeed, you receive exactly what you pay for with the X3 SUV, minus the automatic emergency braking as one of the many standard features, there are plenty of optional safety features such as blind-spot monitoring, lane assist, rear cross traffic alert and traffic sign recognition.
