What automatic petrol SUV should I get to replace my Toyota RAV4?

I want to replace my Toyota RAV4 with another SUV. It must be automatic and I prefer petrol as I only do about 8000 miles a year. What would you recommend to take golf clubs, trolley and occasionally four adults?

Toyota now does a RAV-4 hybrid auto. Alternatively a cheaper Suzuki Vitara 1.4 T BoosterJet auto. Maybe a KIA Niro auto, or a KIA Sportage 1.6 T GDI auto (that's 'Gasoline Direct Injection'). Or a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

Our Fuel Cost Calculator shows you which will be the best choice for you.

Compare the running costs of petrol, diesel and electric cars to make the right choice for you.

Petrol or diesel ... or even electric?
