The best SUV discounts

Version 54kWh GS | List price £35,105 | Best price £19,190 | Total discount £15,915 (45.34%)

Compared with the rather unexciting original, the current Vauxhall Mokka offers a bold appearance and, in electric guise, a decent all-round package. Every Mokka comes with a 50.8kWh (usable capacity) battery, offering an official range of up to 250 miles, which is about the same as a Ford Puma Gen-E and more than the cheapest Smart #1 can travel. With a 154bhp electric motor, the Mokka GS accelerates from 0-62mph in a reasonable – if not class-leading – 9.0sec. The Mokka Electric has a reasonably smooth ride, although the Renault 4 leans less around corners.

The Mokka isn’t the most practical small SUV because rear leg room is tight and the 310-litre boot is smaller than that of the Kia EV3. The interior isn’t particularly plush, either, but there’s plenty of standard equipment. The mid-range GS features a panoramic reversing camera, automatic headlights and windscreen wipers, and 18in alloy wheels.

Version 1.2 PureTech GT | List price £34,245 | Best price £23,795 | Total discount £10,450 (30.52%)

The Peugeot 2008 is a deceptively classy small SUV. Why? Well, its interior looks classy and uses plenty of soft touch materials, and it’s also reasonably well equipped. As standard, the mid-spec 2008 GT gets front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera and keyless entry. It also features a 1.2-litre petrol engine with mild hybrid assistance, giving the 2008 GT a 0-62mph sprint time of 9.2sec. That’s slightly quicker than the equivalent Ford Puma and considerably faster than a Hyundai Kona.

Even so, the 2008 isn’t the most exciting SUV to drive, largely because it’s not as agile around fast corners as a Puma. Nevertheless, soft suspension dampens bumps effectively and you’ll only encounter a small amount of wind noise on the motorway. Still, while occupants may want to hold on tight, they’ll still have plenty of leg room. You’ll find more rear head room and boot space in a Seat Ateca, though.

Version 64kWh Trophy Long Range | List price £33,745 | Best price £23,499 | Total discount £10,246 (30.36%)

If space is a key priority for your new SUV, the S5 should be high up on your shortlist. It has more head and leg room in the back than a Jeep Avenger Electric, and the 453-litre boot is only slightly less than a Kia EV3’s. There’s also a lengthy list of standard kit, with the Trophy Long Range featuring a 360 degree parking camera, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and a wireless phone charger.

Featuring a 61.7kWh (usable capacity) battery, the Long Range version can officially cover 298 miles. That’s about the same as the Skoda Enyaq 60 and more than the equivalent EV3 can manage. With 228bhp, the S5 Long Range can accelerate to 62mph in a very spritely 6.1sec. Well-weighted steering and a decent amount of grip keep the S5 composed around bends, although its ride is choppy at high speed. Much like the Renault Scenic, the S5’s brake pedal can also feel grabby.

Version 1.5 T-GDI SE | List price £26,245 | Best price £18,996 | Total discount £7249 (27.62%)

It might be one of the cheapest family SUVs on the market, but the MG HS is surprisingly well equipped. Even the entry-level SE trim comes with 19in alloy wheels, keyless entry and a reversing camera. You can buy the HS as a petrol, full-hybrid or plug-in hybrid (PHEV), with the latter offering the best performance. With an official electric range of 75 miles, the HS goes further than the PHEV versions of the Ford Kuga, Jaecoo 7 and Kia Sportage.

Ride quality depends on the version you choose, with the petrol-powered HS fidgeting over bumps more than a Citroën C5 Aircross and producing more engine noise than a Dacia Bigster. For a better driving experience, opt for a full-hybrid or PHEV version of the HS. Fortunately, the HS’s interior feels surprisingly plush for the money and offers plenty of room for five. The 507-litre boot isn’t as big as the Sportage’s, though.

Version 68.8kWh Elegance | List price £40,660 | Best price £29,610 | Total discount £11,050 (27.18%)

Despite sharing a lot of its looks with the petrol-powered Honda HR-V, the Honda e:Ny1 is a completely different kettle of fish. An electric car that competes with the Hyundai Kona Electric, Jeep Avenger Electric and Kia EV3, every e:Ny1 has a 256-mile official range – more than the Ford Puma Gen-E or Peugeot e-2008 can manage, but the Kona Electric goes even further. With 201bhp, the e:Ny1’s performance is slick enough and resists body lean around corners. Even so, an EV3 is smoother over bumps.

The e:Ny1’s interior feels sturdy and offers plenty of front and rear leg room. Nonetheless, taller passengers in the back will find head room tight, and the 361-litre boot is smaller than most rivals. At least the e:Ny1 comes with lots of standard equipment. The entry-level Elegance, for instance, has keyless entry, heated front seats and a wireless phone charger.

Version 40 S line | List price £49,160 | Best price £35,999 | Total discount £13,161 (26.77%)

Even before you consider discounts, the Audi Q4 e-tron is well-priced against premium electric SUVs. There’s a range of power options available, with the entry-level 40 coming with a 201bhp electric motor driving the rear wheels. A 0-62mph acceleration time of 8.1sec makes the Q4 e-tron 40 quicker off the mark than the cheapest Ford Explorer or Hyundai Ioniq 5. Its 59kWh (usable capacity) battery gives the Q4 e-tron 40 an official range of up to 251 miles, something equivalent versions of the Ioniq 5 and Tesla Model Y can both beat.

Around town, the Audi Q4 e-tron is smoother over bumps than the Ford Mustang Mach-E, and offers plenty of grip around corners. You’ll encounter a fair bit of body lean, though. Inside, the Q4 e-tron feels plusher than a Mustang Mach-E or Skoda Enyaq, although the Volvo EX40 is classier still. What’s more, there’s a good amount of front and rear passenger room and a practical 520-litre boot.

Version 1.5 h e-Power Acenta Premium | List price £34,860 | Best price £25,613 | Total discount £9247 (26.53%)

The Nissan Qashqai is regularly among the best-selling new cars in Britain, and it’s easy to see why. For starters, there’s a range of power options, including the e-Power hybrid, which uses a 1.5-litre petrol engine solely to charge a battery. Reaching 62mph in 7.6sec, the Qashqai e-Power is quicker off the mark than most family SUVs, although a fair amount of body lean means the Seat Ateca is still more agile. Fortunately, the e-Power’s electric motor gives the Qashqai smooth acceleration, and there’s minimal wind or road noise at speed. 

Despite not being as distinctive as the Peugeot 3008’s, the Qashqai’s interior feels well built and offers a decent amount of front and rear space. The 504-litre boot is slightly smaller than what you’ll find in the Ateca or Skoda Karoq. Nevertheless, the entry-level Qashqai Acenta Premium has a relatively lengthy equipment list, including 17in alloy wheels, a reversing camera and dual-zone climate control.

Version 54kWh e-Summit | List price £33,999 | Best Price £24,995 | Total Discount £9004 (26.48%)

The smallest model in the Jeep range might not be much use off road but there’s still a lot to like. Every Avenger uses a 50.8kWh (usable capacity) battery for an official range of 249 miles. That’s better than the Citroën ë-C3 Aircross and Ford Puma Gen-E, although the Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia EV3 can manage even more. A 154bhp motor gives the Avenger Electric reasonable performance, but you’ll encounter a fair amount of noise at speed. Instead, it’s much better suited to city driving, thanks to a tight turning circle and light steering.

Despite using hard plastics, the Avenger Electric’s interior looks modern and features tactile buttons. There’s plenty of front passenger space, but the EV3 offers considerably more rear leg room. A 355-litre boot is also smaller than that of the Puma Gen-E. In e-Summit guise, the Avenger Electric comes with 18in alloy wheels, a reversing camera and adaptive cruise control.

Version 1.6 T-GDi N Line | List price £38,845 | Best price £28,898 | Total discount £9947 (25.61%)

Compared with most family SUVs, the Hyundai Tucson puts more of a focus on comfort than most, featuring softer suspension than a Kia Sportage. Indeed, it’s more controlled over bumps around town than a Ford Kuga, although feels less settled over undulations at speed. Like the MG HS, the Tucson is available as a petrol, full hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV). In full hybrid guise, the Tucson uses a 1.6-litre petrol engine and electric motor to sprint from 0-62mph in 7.8sec. That’s about the same as the hybrid-powered Sportage. 

The Tucson’s interior is a step up in quality compared with a Kuga, although chunky rear pillars mean your view behind is somewhat restricted without using the standard-fit parking sensors. There’s plenty of front and rear passenger space, however, and the 620-litre boot is one of the biggest in the Tucson’s class. The top-spec Tucson N-Line comes equipped with a reversing camera, wireless phone charger and a power tailgate as standard.

Version 77kWh Trophy Long Range | List price £40,995 | Best Price £30,595 | Total Discount £10,400 (25.37%)

Despite undercutting rivals including the Kia EV6, Skoda Enyaq and Tesla Model Y – and that’s before dealer discounts – the MG S6 is a surprisingly capable electric SUV. Two power options are available, with the SE and Trophy Long Range using a 241bhp electric motor to drive the rear wheels. Reaching 62mph in 7.3sec, it’s quicker off the mark than an entry-level Enyaq. An official range of 329 miles is also more than the entry-level EV6 and Model Y can achieve, although both cars have more expensive versions that can go even further.

While the Enyaq is generally sharper to drive, the S6 has precise steering and a relatively smooth ride. What’s more, there’s very little audible wind noise or motor whine on the motorway. Inside, the S6 uses plenty of plush materials and user-friendly physical controls. You get a generous amount of front and rear passenger space, although the S6’s 493-litre boot is considerably smaller than the Enyaq’s.
