We'd recommend a Skoda Karoq. It's a very comfortable family SUV which shrugs off bumpy road surfaces. A £20,000 budget will get you a 2019 example with the 1.5 TSI petrol engine. A Citroen C5 Aircross is a good alternative - particularly if you need space for passengers in the rear.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
