What SUV or 4x4 would you recommend to go off road?

My father goes shooting about 10 times a year and he's after a 4x4 or SUV, possibly an Audi Q5. What would your recommendations be?

Answered by Honest John

For serious off road work, nothing beats a Land Rover and for his purposes the best is probably a Range Rover Sport, preferably 2012 or later with the 8-speed transmission. Handles better than a Q5 on the road and is simply brilliant off the road on 19-inch Pirelli Scorpion ATS tyres.

Range Rover Sport (2013 - 2022)

Bigger and more economical than the old model. Great to drive on-road but with typical Land Rover off road ability. Fantastic traction and ability in the worst conditions.

Audi Q5 (2017 - 2025)

Even more refined and upmarket than original Q5. Lovely quality interior. Electric tailgate fitted as standard. 2.0 litre petrol plug-in hybrid from May 2019.
