best suv cars 2023

Chasing the best SUV cars of 2023? In Australia, the sweet‑spot all‑rounders were the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (efficient and roomy), Mazda CX‑5 (drives like it actually cares), and the Kia Sportage/Hyundai Tucson twins (feature‑packed, long warranty, great value). If you need seven seats, the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Palisade sort out school runs without requiring a mining lease; for off‑road cred, the Toyota Prado still does the bush‑taxi thing with no fuss. Prefer electrons over unleaded? The Tesla Model Y brings range, tech and space—if you’re fine with a minimalist cabin and a firmish ride. Expect to spend from the low‑$30ks to $90k+ depending on size, spec and badge. Test‑drive the lot, eyeball service costs, and make sure the boot swallows the pram and the esky—priorities, mate.
