Asked by Greg
I want to buy a 7 seater SUV. It doesn't have to go four wheel driving but I need room for large RC models and be capable of driving on a dirt road to the field for under $40k.
Answered by CarsGuide
31 May 2018You should be able to get an example of the current crop of large seven-seat SUVs for under $40k, and we recommend the Kia Sorento, Mazda CX-9, Toyota Kluger and Hyundai Santa Fe, in that order.
You'll also be able to get a new mid-size SUV for well under that price, with Mitsubishi offering the base Outlander with seven seats for $29,990 drive away at the moment.
You can also get the Honda CR-V VTi-L for just under $40k and the Nissan X-Trail. Our pick would be the Honda, but bear in mind it lacks a lot of active safety equipment fitted standard to the other brands.
