Best Regular SUV: Toyota RAV4
Like all Toyotas, the RAV4 is ubiquitous, cheap to run and un-killable. For older models, the 1.8 or 2.0 is less thirsty than the 2.4-litre version.
New: from S$189,988 with COE
Pre-owned: from S$45,000
Also consider: Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage
Best Luxury SUV: Lexus RX
The RX is one of Singapore’s most popular SUVs, and the RX 270 is the least costly version. Bargain hunters will be interested to know that old versions of the RX 400h hybrid now go for very affordable prices.
New: from S$270,000 with COE
Pre-owned: from S$65,000
Also consider: Audi Q5, Volvo XC90
Best For Off-Roading: Land Rover Defender
As tough as old boots and just as capable, new Defenders are considerably more luxurious than the old ex-military or police ones commonly found on our roads. The latter possess an unmistakable rugged charm, though.
New: POA
Pre-Owned: from S$70,000
Also Consider: Jeep Wrangler, Mercedes-Benz G-Class
