72 New 4x4s/SUVs reviews available

  • Kia Sorento (2010-)

    Kia Sorento 2010 silver f3q static

    New price: £21,120 - £34,945

    Kia's neat Sorento off-roader is conspicuously good value, but is it any good?
  • Kia Sportage (2005-2010)

    Kia Sportage 1

    New price: £15,785 - £20,835

    The Kia Sportage is a budget 4x4 SUV that shares its platform with the Hyundai Tucson, produced from 2005 onwards. Which? finds out if its any good.
  • Kia Sportage (2010-)

    Kia Sportage orange parked f3q

    New price: £17,290 - £28,255

    Kia's latest 'soft-roader', the Sportage, has an all-new look. It's keenly priced too
  • Land Rover Discovery 3 (2004-2009)

    Land Rover Discovery 4 1

    New price: £32,695 - £50,400

    As desirable 4x4s go, Discovery is, for many, king of the castle. But fuel consumption is high and reliability is poor.
  • Land Rover Discovery 4 (2010-)

    Land Rover Discovery 10

    New price: £32,695 - £57,340

    Land Rover's Discovery is pricey, but desirable, capable off-road, practical and comfortable.
  • Land Rover Freelander (2006-)

    LR Freelander 2 red static r3q 2007

    New price: £21,750 - £39,480

    The Freelander 2 is currently the smallest Land Rover, but it's still a fairly pricey purchase. We find out if it makes more sense than a Honda CR-V, for example.
  • Land Rover Range Rover (2002-2012)

    Range Rover 1

    New price: £66,095 - £89,301

    How did the original upmarket 4x4 fare in the Which? test lab?
  • Land Rover Range Rover (2013-)

    Range Rover01

    New price: £71,050 - £97,770

    Does the new Range Rover bring this British icon into the 21st Century?
  • Land Rover Range Rover Sport (2005-)

    LR Range Rover Sport 1

    New price: £47,650 - £75,670

    Footballers' favourite, the Range Rover Sport, had an extensive overhaul in 2009, with revised engines and styling. But is it worth the high list price?
  • Lexus RX (2009-)

    Lexus RX 450H 2012

    New price: £44,470 - £61,076

    Can a hybrid-powered 4x4 be truly green?
  • Mazda CX-5 (2012-)

    Mazda CX5 1

    New price: £21,390 - £28,980

    Mazda is late to the compact 4x4/crossover party with its CX-5. But as it debuts Mazda's clever SkyAtiv eco technology, it's a fascinating newcomer. Did we match Mazda's bold fuel claims in our tests?
  • Mazda CX-7 (2007-)

    Mazda CX7 1

    New price: £27,350 - £27,350

    For so long held back by the fact it was petrol-only, the Mazda CX-7is now available with a 2.2 diesel. Can it finally rival cars such as the BMW X3?

72 Used 4x4s/SUVs reviews available

  • Audi Q5 (2008-)

    Audi Q5

    Used price: From £22,250

    If Audi's Q7 feels a bit on the huge side, consider the German marques compact Q5 SUV - an off-roader estate range, built from 2008 and looking to take on classy rivals like the Volvo XC60 and BMW X1.
  • Audi Q7 (2006-)

    Audi Q7

    Used price: From £15,295

    The enormous Audi Q7 is the daddy of off-road estate cars. The two-and-a- half tonne seven seater should accomodate even the largest family.
  • BMW X1 (2009-)

    BMW X1 2012 1

    Used price: From £17,750

    BMW chase after the Ford Kuga and Volvo XC60 with its very own 4x4 compact SUV - the diesel only X1.

    BMW X3 1

  • BMW X3 (2010-)

    01-BMW-X3

    Used price: From £27,500

    Will the bigger, better equipped and more efficient new BMW X3 become the best-selling medium-sized premium 4x4?
  • BMW X5 (2000-2007)

    BMW X5 00 3

    Used price: From £5,125

  • BMW X5 (2007-)

    BMW X5 1

    Used price: From £21,750

    BMW's first seven seater, the 4x4 X5 is a clear rival to the Audi Q7 and Land Rover Discovery 3. On-road it's great fun, but what about off-road?
  • BMW X6 (2008-)

    BMW X6

    Used price: From £28,250

    The BMW X6 is a 4x4, but defies outright categorisation thanks to its coupe-like rear end. Read our full review to see if it can overcome the quirky looks.
  • Chevrolet Captiva (2007-)

    ChevroletCaptiva1

    Used price: From £7,895

    Vauxhall Antara owners and Daewoo drivers may find this SUV crossover more than a touch familiar. But it's a Chevrolet Captiva, right?
