The SUV bodystyle has never been more popular with drivers enjoying the confidence-inspiring ride height that these models bring. As a result, we’ve seen the number of SUVs on sale explode in recent years, and there’s now a huge amount of choice. You’ll find many of the latest SUVs available here at Prestige Cars Kent, too.
But if you’re looking to swap into a new SUV, which one should you choose? In this article, we’re going to be checking out some of the best SUVs in the UK right now - and they’re all available to buy here, at Prestige Cars Kent.
Range Rover Sport
If you’re looking for a dynamic SUV experience, then look no further than the Range Rover Sport. It’s always been the more performance-oriented pick of the JLR range, and today, it’s a popular option here at Prestige Cars Kent. Equipped with some of JLR’s latest technology - including the clever Pivi Pro infotainment system - the Sport brings a great blend of performance and comfort.
Here at Prestige Cars Kent, we’ve even got the latest Range Rover Sport SV, which packs a fire-breathing 4.4-litre turbocharged V8 which delivers almost sportscar-like performance.
Porsche Macan
The Macan has been instrumental in the recent success of Porsche, with this mid-size SUV's combination of premium materials with excellent build quality making it a great choice within the segment. It’s good to drive, too, with steering which feels more like what you’d find in one of the brand’s sports cars.
They’re well-equipped, too, and the variety of physical controls for elements such as the suspension and drive settings is a welcome change to many more touchscreen-focused designs. You can get the Macan with a variety of engines, too, from smooth-running V6S through to powerful V8S.
BMW X5
The BMW X5 was one of the cars which kicked off the trend for more road-focused SUVs, and though it has been around for decades, it remains a popular choice today. More recent models get all of the bells and whistles you could want, including smartphone mirroring systems Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The X5 is also available with an efficient plug-in hybrid engine, which brings an impressive electric-only range of up to 45 miles for some seriously low running costs.
Volvo XC90
If you want an SUV with enough space for the whole family, then there has traditionally only been one choice - the Volvo XC90. This practical seven-seater has all of the roominess you could need, but it’s still got the premium touches that help to make daily driving feel a little more special. The seat mechanisms are a breeze to use, too, and mean that accessing the very rear seats of the car is simple.
As you might expect, the XC90 is packed with safety features, with systems such as blind-spot assistance, pedestrian and cyclist detection, and lane-keeping assist all helping to make this car as secure as can be.
Ineos Grenadier
Looking for a little bit of that go-anywhere feel from your next SUV? Check out the Ineos Grenadier. Built in the mould of the classic off-roader, the Grenadier is a car which is tough enough to take you wherever you need to go - and back again. Locking differentials and a proper mechanical low-range gearbox ensure that the Grenadier can tackle any terrain, while BMW-made engines give this car the right amount of grunt.
In classic Stationwagon form, the Grenadier offers plenty of space, too, while the split-opening tailgate makes putting your gear in the back easy. Our Grenadier models go fast - so check to see if we have one in stock today.
Volkswagen Tiguan
While many people might think that the Golf holds the title as Volkswagen’s most popular vehicle, it is the Tiguan that lays claim to it. Routinely one of Europe’s best-selling cars, it’s the Tiguan’s all-rounder ability that makes it such a hit. Inside, you’ll find solid materials and lots of space, while a 652-litre boot is of a great size too.
The Tiguan is accompanied by a good range of engines, too, from efficiency-focused 2.0-litre diesels through to more powerful petrols. You can get the Tiguan with four-wheel drive for added traction, too, while Allspace models bring the bonus of seven seats over the standard car’s five.
The good news is that if you like any of these SUVs - or would like to try something else - they’re all available here at Prestige Cars Kent. Get in touch to find out which SUV could work for you, or speak to one of the team if you’ve got any further questions.
