10 best SUVs to buy in 2024
Everyone wants an SUV right now, with family SUVs almost a default choice for people with kids. Why? Well, the arrival of the SUV in the mid 1990s marked a sea change in the car market, just as the arrival of the practical, flexible and easy-to-drive hatchback did a few decades prior.
Think of an SUV as a tall hatchback - both types of car tend to have a wide-opening, top-hinged boot and fold-down rear seats - but SUVs add in a raised driving position for a better view of the road, plus being taller can make them easier to get in and out of if you have reduced mobility, while strapping young kids into child seats is easier when you don't have to stoop down. It's a lot easier for designers to fit a third row of seats into an SUV shape, too, while subjective matters of image, fashion and road presence also come into play to a greater or lesser extent.
While some SUVs follow the hatchback-on-stilts formula, others are descended from proper off-roading stock. These 4x4s are cleaner and more sophisticated than the gas-guzzlers of old, but offer genuine off-road ability as well as the other advantages of an SUV.
