6/10MitsubishiOutlander PHEV£28,050 – £44,170It’s brilliant. But only up to a point. Pity. It could be so much better...
8/10Land RoverRange Rover Sport£63,390 – £99,620A well-executed contradiction: a fine long-distance GT that's great in the rough and stunning inside
6/10NissanX-Trail£30,235 – £34,260A good, solid SUV. Lots of space, but competitors have caught and passed in some areas
7/10VolkswagenCaravelle£41,748 – £58,242Yes, it’s effectively a van with windows. But it’s also magnificent
5/10ToyotaLand Cruiser£33,425 – £53,650If you live in the desert, the Land Cruiser is as good as it gets. But seeing as we don't, the Discovery is a much better bet
6/10AudiQ7£54,975 – £93,190Not exactly revolutionary, but it makes plenty of sense... if you need this sort of thing
6/10SsangyongRexton£28,125 – £37,625A giant, kitted out seven-seat 4x4 for the price of a top-spec Qashqai. Only apply if you like your driving rufty-tufty
8/10SkodaKodiaq£25,875 – £43,155A Top Gear award winner in 2016, and rightly so – Skoda’s big crossover is all things to all families.
6/10BMW2 Series Active/Gran Tourer£27,205 – £37,165Cosier and more expensive than rivals, but appealing badge and quality
8/10TeslaModel X£87,190 – £168,730Not cheap, and not a conventional SUV, but a thoroughly capable family wagon.
8/10Land RoverDiscovery Sport£43,410An SUV that rightfully ignores sportiness and focuses on comfort, flexibility and downright classiness
7/10BMWX7£70,980 – £109,660The X7 is BMW's biggest and most luxurious SUV, and it wants to be noticed
6/10MitsubishiOutlander£28,050 – £44,170It'll be a perfect tool for some, but cheap plastics and an underpowered drivetrain mean it'll never be loved
8/10Land RoverDiscovery£46,110 – £68,890The consummate big family SUV. Spectacular off-road, now better on it, but is it just too Range Rover for its own good?
