    In the past decade, the SUV has transformed from a humble, practical vehicle into a luxury one. That meant that the vehicles have tended to become a little less hardy but a lot more pleasant to look at and comfortable to ride within, especially for families. This article is going to look at the kinds of considerations you should bear in mind if you’re in the market for an SUV. Read on to learn what you should look out for to know that you’re getting a good deal for your new car. 

    Price

    It’s worth highlighting that the market for luxury SUVs is currently vibrant and busy. Most car manufacturers now produce an SUV, and these can come in a variety of luxury forms. If you have the cash to spend on a seriously impressive SUV, you’ll be able to scour the entire market for the best luxury SUV lease deals. Lease deals can also soften the blow to your finances that occurs when you make a one-off purchase of a vehicle. 

    Meanwhile, if you’re a little more cash-strapped, you should instead search through the second-hand SUV market. This is also a busy marketplace, with many thousands of vehicles up for sale for considerably less cash than their retail price. Make sure you’re getting a good deal by checking how many miles used SUVs have driven before they’re put up for sale. 

    Utility

    There are largely two different types of SUV drivers. There are those who admire the look and luxury feel of the vehicle, and there are those who are purchasing it for practical reasons. If you’re buying your vehicle purely for the style, then you should make your purchasing decision based on how you feel different SUVs look. You can hop online to compare SUVs on the market by that metric with ease. 

    On the other hand, there are plenty of families, adventurers, and workers who use SUVs in order to get around, carry heavy belongings, and go exploring. In these cases, your purchasing decision should be informed by the carry capacity of the SUV, the space it affords in the trunk, and other practical elements, such as the availability of four-wheel drive or all-weather driving features. 

    Longevity 

    As with all car styles, there are some SUVs that are considered to be manufactured significantly better than others. It’s these SUVs that tend to last longer, with fewer mechanical failures meaning you have to spend less time in the repair shop and have more time to enjoy your vehicle. Over time, a reliable SUV can really spell the difference between a costly asset and one that works perfectly for you and your family. 

    So how do you check for a vehicle’s reliability? Well, professional car review websites are good at showing you what you should look out for with certain makes and models. User reviews can also give you a clue. Online car magazines are perhaps the best place to start, as you’ll get to grips with how long each SUV is likely to last you. 

    Buying an SUV is a significant investment, so it’s worth keeping the three-pointers above in mind when making your purchase.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
