NISSAN X-TRAIL
It’s not the most exciting thing to drive, but the X-Trail is spacious, practical and well screwed together. Storage space is generous and there’s plenty of room for teenagers in the rear seats.
FORD ESCAPE
Buyers haven’t warmed to the Escape, but it is one of the better mid-size SUVs to drive, with a powerful 2.0-litre turbo engine that shades most in this segment. Good value for money.
HONDA CR-V
A recent upgrade delivered improved safety and a more modern cabin look, but underneath the CR-V has been around for a while. Quality finishes inside and a practical layout.
KIA SPORTAGE
A new model is just around the corner with better safety, new styling and updated tech. Engines are likely to be carried over and the 1.6litre turbo is the pick. Seven-year warranty.
MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER
Another model that will be replaced this month. The new model rides on an all-new platform and promises tech and safety upgrades as well as a bump in power. Prices have risen, though.
