If there’s one type of car that is more in demand than any other, it’s the SUV. These high-riding models have grown in popularity over the last five years, with drivers enjoying the confidence-inspiring seating position and elevated practicality that these cars bring.
Here at Prestige Cars Kent, we’ve got a fine range of SUVs from all types of manufacturers. But which ones are the best? In this article, we’re going to be answering just that.
Land Rover Defender
There was plenty of concern that the replacement to the original and much-loved Defender wouldn’t be able to deliver, but this modern-day off-roader has more than achieved what it needed to. Available in 90, 110 and 130 body styles, the new Defender has proven immensely popular and is one of our top SUVs here at Prestige Cars Kent.
Combining rugged build quality with lots of high-end materials, the Defender has all of the latest tech but is still equipped with the off-road-focused features that’ll ensure you always get where you need to - regardless of the conditions.
Porsche Macan
The Macan is Porsche’s smallest SUV, sitting underneath the larger Cayenne in the range. What this SUV delivers, however, is one of the best driving experiences that you’ll find in this segment, with the Macan’s sharp handling and excellent body control making it a joy for anyone behind the wheel.
It’s well made, too, and is available with a variety of punchy engine options. Couple that with the Macan’s large boot and decent rear-seat legroom and you have an SUV which is hard to beat.
Volkswagen Tiguan
The Tiguan is one of Volkswagen’s most popular models and it’s not hard to see why. This spacious and practical SUV is well-equipped and offers great value for money, particularly when it comes to pre-owned models like the ones we have here at Prestige Cars Kent.
The latest generation of Tiguan has a large central screen which houses all key navigation and media functions, while a handy digital display ahead of the driver is clear and easy to read.
BMW X5
The X5 was one of the very earliest SUVs, bringing a high-riding bodystyle coupled with sporty dynamics that turned it into a great all-rounder. Fast forward several decades and the X5 is more refined than ever thanks to a great range of smooth-running engines and a classy interior.
The X5 remains great to drive, too. But it’s this car’s build quality that we really love, alongside the great level of technology that you get in all models.
Audi Q7
If it’s outright spaciousness that you’re after, then look no further than the Audi Q7. With space for up to seven people, it’s great for drivers who often take big groups with them, or for families who need as much seating capacity as possible.
But, as you’d expect from Audi, the Q7 also gets a rock-solid build quality backed by some very upmarket materials which ensures that everyone aboard gets the first-class treatment.
Mercedes GLC
The GLC is a key car within the Mercedes range of SUVs and it’s one that remains popular here at Prestige Cars Kent. Essentially a raised-up alternative to the C-Class saloon, the GLC gets a very cool widescreen infotainment display alongside a full digital dial setup which, alongside a full set of interior lighting gives the interior of the GLC a very futuristic feel.
You’ll find the GLC accompanied by a variety of engines, too, including a potent 4.0-litre turbocharged V8 in the range-topping Mercedes-AMG GLC63.
Volvo XC60
Finally, we have the Volvo XC60. It’s an SUV which gets all of the ‘must-have’ boxes ticked thanks to its spacious interior, user-friendly controls and a large boot. For families, the XC60 makes great sense too as it’s packed with safety features to make sure everyone inside is kept as secure as possible.
In typical Volvo fashion, the XC60 has a clean, Scandi-infused cabin with good materials and plenty of large pockets and cupholders.
