best suv in australia 2023

Asking for the “best SUV in Australia 2023” is like asking the pub which footy team is nicest—spirited debate guaranteed.

If you want ruthless efficiency, the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid sips like a budgie and has resale to make accountants weep; wait times can test your zen.

For features and warranty heft, the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson load in tech and space, trading a smidge of handling sparkle for value.

Prefer something that actually enjoys corners? The Mazda CX-5 feels keen and classy inside, just not the roomiest.

Hauling the tribe? The Kia Sorento (or Hyundai Palisade if you like it big) nails seven-seat duty without luxury-car prices.

Going electric? The Tesla Model Y brings range, space and charging coverage that makes EV life easy; cabin minimalism isn’t everyone’s cuppa.

Need tow chops and dirt-road swagger? The Ford Everest and Toyota Prado are the grown-ups, but they ride and park like, well, grown-ups.
