Who doesn’t love sitting in a high driving position, spacious, and comfortable car? Most of us do, hence why used SUVs and used crossovers are becoming even more popular in the used car market. Not only do they make great family cars, but they’re also extremely practical and generally robust too. One noticeable thing about driving a used SUV and a used crossover are that you do have a more commanding view and a definite sense of height and safety.
Not only are they a more comfortable vehicle to drive and be a passenger in, but the extra space in a used SUV and a used crossover also offer more space for storage items like luggage, gadgets, drinks, and books.
So what’s the difference between an SUV and a crossover? In simple terms, they appear to be more or less the same but beneath the bodywork, the crossover normally is modelled on a small hatchback, so mechanical parts like suspensions and the engine will be the same in most cases. The SUV however is mechanically similar to a van, which is why it’s a larger car and designed to be a sturdier build to handle harsher terrain and off-road driving. Both used SUVs and used crossovers in general offer a smoother drive.
Best Price Car Sales, which is based in Southampton, has selected a range of the best quality used SUVs and used crossovers which have made an impact in the used car marketplace.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
Regarded in the industry as the best-used SUV for seven seats in a compact car. The Land Rover Discovery Sport has been described by many reviewers as a terrific family car and a great SUV to drive. The slight issue is, it’s not highly known for its sportiness but still able to get you out of trouble if the problems arise. Because of its compact size, maneuvering it in tight spaces such as multi-story car parks makes life relatively easy. With its additional seats at the back, it is a tight fit for adults but the kids won’t mind at all.
When shopping around, think hard when choosing the two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive version because the two-wheel-drive reduces the weight of the car and thus improves your fuel efficiency. Four-wheel drive versions offer that extra grip for jobs like towing and handling muddy terrains, like on a farm. An extra point to consider is the Land Rover Discovery Sport holds its second-hand value well.
Nissan Qashqai
In the used SUV market, we couldn’t find a better value-for-money used SUV than the Nissan Qashqai. This car is not the best for handling off-roading conditions but on-road it comes out as a very popular choice by its drivers and car reviewers. The actual model to go for in our humble opinion is the 1.3 DiG-T Acenta, with a very well-made interior, the higher specs come packed with great technology such as electronic driving aids. In all the used Nissan Qashqais the legroom at the back, in particular, is impressive, but unfortunately, it impacts the size of the booth which isn’t the biggest but it is adequate. If you are looking for a used SUV with good fuel economy, a decent drive, and a large selection of models, look no further than this all-around gem.
Volvo XC90
Unless you have been hiding under a rock for the last thirty or so years, you will not find a safer manufacturer of cars than Volvo, And its reputation also extends to the XC 90 as one of the safest used SUVs on the UK roads. Just to give you even more peace of mind, official fatality records on British roads have shown, that no one has ever been killed inside a Volvo XC90 SUV. (From the time this article was written).
The bottom line is, that if you want the best-used SUV for safety, there is no better than the Volvo XC90. This SUV is designed as a family car with children in mind, the space at the back is huge and on top of that, it’s incredibly comfortable throughout.

Range Rover Evoque
If you are looking for the best-used SUV for style and wow factor, the Range Rover Evoque is the used car for you. Having one of these delivered to your doorstep by one of our delivery drivers will definitely tell your neighbours life is going very well for you. One thing to add, because of its slickness and low roof, this SUV isn’t really ideal for holding large adults at the back, but kids and toddlers will be a breeze and then after a few years, maybe call us for an upgrade to something a bit roomier. But because of its low roof, this SUV feels very sporty and drives well on a nice stretch of road.
