    Hello all,

    any recommendation for a used SUV ( or preferable any other car with large boot, luggage for 4 people + pushchair needs to fit in). Around 2014 and newer for around 15k?

    I had a look already, anybody experience with Peugeot 3008, Honda Crv/Hr ?

    Thanks,

    Both mentioned are Crossover and not SUV. Common mistake as the manufacturer sell them as SUV but they are not

    Any of these Crossover have small boots, qashqai, 3008, etc but you will get a pushchair and 4 adults into them

    For that money you probably look at qashqai as best in market

    Do you need diesel?

    Not all crossovers have small boots. Recent models like Tiguan, 3008, tucson have more than 500 lt boot volume which is not bad.

    I think Qashqai was one of the worst in that aspect being an early model.

    Edit: missed the 15k budget. Probably you won't be stretching to those newer models with that budget unless you buy something with high mileage

    Luggage for 4 people, I. E a suitcase and a pushchair I'd be looking at a 7 seater with the back seats dropped. An octavia or superb take about 3 large suitcases and a stroller. If its just carry on luggage then not as much of an issue.

    Might not be the popular thing now, but what about an Estate car?. The Superb Estate has loads of boot space and should be able to fit what you need. If it’s too big an Octavia estate should be grand.

    Just an example below with pictures.

    If it’s an SUV / Crossover then the 7 seater suggestion would be best.

    Yeah, I had looked at it again and I think we will go for the estate option, it will be cheaper to run long-term. I think herself has her heart set at Hyundai i40 estate, possibly going to import from the UK.
