What's the best economical compact SUV?
What's the best compact SUV that has a good real mpg, yet punchy (say 10 seconds 0-60mph or less) yet over 39mpg city drive. Also that as a nearly new, so no older than 2018 and would cost no more than £12000?
kind regards

A Suzuki Vitara might be a good option. It's got a usefully big boot and your budget will get a high-spec example from 2019 with the 1.0-litre Boosterjet engine. This should give an idea of real-world fuel economy: www.honestjohn.co.uk/real-mpg/. Also consider a Kia Stonic.
