SUV Curious

cookeaa · 2026-06-12T14:38:57Z

Sorry a boring car thread for middle-aged buffers like me... I don't especially like SUVs however our current Leased Octavia is coming up to the end of it's contract in October and we need to think about the next vehicle, We've just had a 'Kamiq' for a week while the local dealership goosed the Octavia up... Long and the short of it, the Boss liked the seats/seating position far more which ultimately trumps almost all other considerations. Her bad back could well be the deciding factor, and after a week of use I pretty much know could live with one, so I've been looking at used ~22-24 plate Kamiqs and Karoqs as they appear similar (basically Jacked up Polo/Golf, I don't want the big fat Kodiaq) and cost/features/etc seem to broadly align with our needs. I will take a look at SEAT equivalents, but they tend to cheap out on seating to hit a lower cost point (IME). But before I get super fixated on Skoda/VAG group SUVs are there any Small/Mid-sized SUV type cars (ideally available used in the ~ £13-16k range) that I should be considering? *Noting the SO has already identified a specific model that she is happy in (Kamiq) so anything less comfy/elevated than that is basically out by default.
