What's the best petrol SUV for £30k?
I'm looking for a mid-size SUV with a petrol engine, autobox and on demand four-wheel drive. I also want 17-inch wheels and a boot big enough for two full size suitcases. What do you recommend for £30k?

Suzuki Vitara S 1.4T BoosterJet auto or, if that's too small, the new Toyota RAV-4 2.5 hybrid 4x4. You can still order a RAV-4 2.0i Valvematic Multidrive S 4WD, but it's a bit juicy. The hybrid can do 40mpg.

Practical with a good boot and plenty of rear leg room. 2.5 hybrid with 2WD or 4WD available. Five year warranty. Proving very reliable.
Spacious interior. Feels like it's built to last. Economical engines including hybrid power from 2022.
