The best SUVs in 2024: cars with the perfect price-performance ratio

If you're looking for a new car in the new year, chances are you're thinking about something that's spacious and economical to operate. And the models currently available on the market - both primary and secondary - offer a wide range of SUVs that meet these criteria in the best possible way.

Mail Online journalists have compiled the top cars that will be a good choice in terms of price and quality. And at the same time, they will be comfortable in the city and beyond and not too expensive.

Nissan Qashqai

The popular family SUV is a hard-to beat offer. The second-generation model, which was sold from 2014 to 2021, was particularly successful. However, the newer version also looks stylish and offers plenty of space and comfort.

Kia Sportage

The previous-generation Kia Sportage, which was produced from 2016 to 2021, is one of the best all-around midsize SUVs. It is stylish and stands out from the crowd. It is also well equipped.

BMW X3

The German car brand BMW is synonymous with luxury, which usually comes at a price. But if you need an inexpensive SUV that offers all the features of a premium brand, choose one of the 2010-2017 BMW X3 models. This is a stylish SUV that is convenient for family trips - it has a lot of space and a large trunk. All models have a high-quality interior and a powerful engine, but models released since 2014 are equipped with more modern technologies.

Renault Captur

Like the latest version, the first-generation Captur is a great small SUV for an affordable price. The 2013-2019 version is still a stylish option, pleasant to drive and comfortable enough for four adult passengers. Among its key advantages are high efficiency, wide functionality even in the basic configuration, and several gasoline and diesel engine options.

Audi Q3

The Q3 is indisputable proof that you can get a real premium SUV at a very reasonable price. The previous generation version (2011-2018) offers plenty of space and all the great features that the brand is deservedly famous for: from the modern, high-quality interior to the smooth and economical engine.

Citroen C5 Aircross

Even on roads that are not very smooth and even, the Citroen C5 Aircross provides a smooth ride thanks to its comfortable seats and soft suspension. It is a pleasure to drive in any conditions. At the same time, the car remains impressively affordable, and the spacious interior and large trunk make it convenient for families.

Land Rover Discovery Sport

For a luxury family SUV, the Land Rover Discovery Sport is a pleasantly surprising price. At the same time, it has a large selection of versions with different equipment levels and a five- or seven-seater cabin. You can choose between gasoline and diesel engines or a hybrid. However, the latter option will cost a bit more.

Ford EcoSport

The EcoSport offers excellent value for money and low running costs. It is available with a manual or automatic transmission, and some models are even equipped with all-wheel drive. Families may find this SUV a bit cramped, but it will be more than enough for two adults. In addition, it is one of the most convenient options for the city.

Nissan X-Trail

Durable and reliable, the X-Trail is a classic of the SUV genre, but it has an added advantage. The model is extremely practical and convenient for family use thanks to a large trunk and a seven-seater cabin in most versions.

Dacia Duster

Excellent value for money is perhaps the main feature of Dacia, and its Duster model is among the best SUVs available. Although it's hardly the ultimate in luxury, it's very roomy and costs less than any other SUV of its size. Higher spec models offer more features, but remain very affordable.

Ford Kuga

The second Ford on this list is another classic midsize SUV at a very nice price. The 2012-2020 version is a bargain right now, as it offers an elegant look and a wide range of functionality. It has a sporty character, while being equipped with a large trunk, air conditioning and cruise control in all configurations, and there are many different engines and features to choose from.
