What non MB SUV?

[davidsl500]

The better half has decided she wants an SUV but she doesn't want a Mercedes..... She reckons the GLC that I keep pointing her towards is too big and the GLA doesn't look enough like an SUV . Has anyone had any experience of any non MB SUV's ? She wants a 2 to 4 year old Petrol Auto non hybrid and also not a V8 (bugger!) When we are driving about she points out various ones she likes the look of so, so far, the list consists of BMW X1's, Jaguar E-Pace's and a silver thing I missed when looking the other way... Anybody got any thoughts or experiences?

My thoughts are, “just because that’s what she wants doesn’t mean that’s what she’s going to get”!

Have a look at the Nissan Juke Nismo RS. You can get an auto with 4WD.

Rear seat passengers have next to no head room ....

She likes the E Pace but the GLC is too big? Are they not about the same size??

The X3 has the IL6 3 litre engine so well worth a test drive

ford kuga or the pug 3008 is a groovy lil thing , theres plenty of choice of the smaller type SUV these days

Juke Nismo is a nippy little thing, but they’re not nicknamed “the reverse Tardis” for nothing (it looks far bigger on the outside than it is on the inside!)

Within an inch or two. Same size class. And the new X3 isn’t far off either.

Possibly the most fugly Stupid Utility Vehicle on the planet… we don’t dislike David that much…

Dig deep and get a Macan

FWIW we have had Jukes x 2 over the last six years and have had zero issues with either of them , apart from the "questionable" appearance they have been decent motors.

E-pace is so ugly. GLA ?

VW t-roc?

Still don’t think you’ll beat a Honda CRV - ideal for those garden centre trips

I’ve always liked Jeeps, especially the Grand Cherokee. Jeep Compass might be worth a look.
