Range Rover

If we’re talking about luxury SUVs, you really can't argue with a full-fat Range Rover. After all, it's the car that has defined the sector.

We’ve been able to find a two-year-old example from a main dealer in desirable Vogue SE spec, which means you get lots of luxuries, such as heated and cooled front seats, a Meridian sound system and a panoramic glass roof to bathe the opulent interior in light. Best of all, you can buy a barely used car like this 10,054-mile example for just £55,994: a fraction of its near-£90,000 price when new.

  • Also consider: 2016 Porsche Cayenne S Diesel Tip auto
  • Price: £49,933
  • Mileage: 34,300
Porsche Cayenne

Perhaps you’d like your luxury SUV to be a little more sporty to drive. If so, the Porsche Cayenne should fit the bill nicely. This 2016 Diesel S model packs a massive punch from its 4.0-litre V8 engine. What’s more, since Porsche has stopped making diesel cars, prices are remaining firm, so depreciation should be quite low.

  • Also consider: 2018 BMW X5 xDrive40d M Sport auto
  • Price: £43,000
  • Mileage: 3466
BMW X5

Even though the BMW X5 has just been replaced, it was still one of the best seven-seat luxury SUVs around. This nearly new example has shed close to £20,000 from its list price despite having covered just 3466 miles. Plus, its 313bhp 3.0-litre diesel engine is immensely strong, so it will have no trouble seeing off hot hatches away from the traffic lights, hitting 60mph from rest in 5.9sec despite weighing over two tonnes.
