Best used small SUVs you can buy for under £15,000 from practical Peugeot to tiny retro favourite

THE best second hand small SUVs for less than £15,000 have been revealed. Sports utility vehicles (SUVs) used to be big, boxy and expensive, but now they come in all shapes and sizes. 8 Small SUVs are now more popular and the best and cheapest subcompact SUVs have been revealed in a list compiled by Whatcar. The Seat Arona The Seat Arona offers a roomy interior, smooth ride and a petrol engine. With an option of a 1 litre or a 1.5 litre engine motorists can choose how much power they would prefer to get from their Arona. Unfortunately the durability of the Arona is in question with it reportedly failing short in this category. A second hand Seat Arona will set motorists back by roughly £11,000. The Suzuki Vitara The boxy Suzuki Vitara has some real off road capability, something you would expect from an SUV. A raised ride height and the option of four-wheel drive means the Vitara can tackle some rough and unforgiving surfaces. It offers a choice of 1.4 litre and 1.5 litre engines with the 1.4 litre boosted by a turbo charger. A second hand Vitara will cost motorists about £13,000 and it offers masses of interior space. The Renault Captur The Captur offers a reasonable and well rounded motor at decent prices. Not the comfiest or the most powerful or the cheapest on the list the Renault does a lot of things well but none the best. Motorists are given a choice of 1 litre and 1.6 litre engines offering some decent power. The Captur will cost roughly £11,000 second hand depending on mileage. The Peugeot 2008 The Peugeot offers a punchy bit of power generated by its 1.2 litre engine. A seriously spacious interior offers plenty room for the whole family despite it only being a small SUV. The motor has a modern ICockpit set-up allowing the driver to view the essential dials over the steering wheel instead of through it. A second hand 2008 will set you back about £12,000 depending on model and mileage. 8 The Mini Countryman A Mini isn't usually what comes to mind when thinking about SUVs. But the Countryman offers everything other small SUVs do and then some. Surprisingly for a Mini the countryman is spacious and offers a wealth of retro, classic Mini style. With a bit of a firm ride the Countryman isn't the most comfortable but it does offer great reliability. Motorists can choose a 1.5 litre and 2 litre engine size, both offering a decent boost in power compared to the other SUVs on the list. A second hand Countryman will cost around £14,000 8 The Volkswagen T-Cross The Volkswagen T-Cross offers a comfortable ride and plenty of interior space. It offers several safety features and is easily manoeuvrable with its compact dimensions. The T-Cross has two engine variants, a 1 litre and a 1.5 litre, both offering enough power but neither being that impressive. A second hand T-Cross will cost about £13,000. The Skoda Kamiq With a slightly lower ride height than the other SUVs on this list the Kamiq's drive height is only slightly higher than that of a family hatchback. It still offers an impressively spacious interior and great performance. The Kamiq is easy to control and the ride is nice and smooth making it a great choice for families. The Kamiq can be bought with a 1 litre and a 1.5 litre engine. A second hand Kamiq, depending on mileage, will cost around £13,000. The Audi Q2 Surprisingly, an Audi has made the list, despite being a typically more expensive brand the Q2 can be purchased second hand for a reasonable cost. With more engine size options the Q2 can be more or less powerful depending on the variant you purchase. The 1 litre, 1.4 litre and 1.5 litre petrol engines offer plenty of power at several levels. Diesel 1.6 litre and 2 litre engines offer even more punch at the low end. It offers a spacious, stylish interior and classic Audi styling on the exterior. A second hand Q2 will set you back by about £13,000. The Volkswagen T-Roc The second Volkswagen to make the list the T-Roc offers plenty of space and a smooth ride. A great family car the T-Roc comes with several power options depending on your needs. A 1 litre, 1.5 litre and 2 litre variant are available at varying prices. A second hand T-Roc costs around £14,000. The Ford Puma The Ford Puma is very reasonably priced and offers everything you could want from a small SUV. Excellent steering and handling, plenty of space and a couple of punchy engine options. The Puma offers great reliability and practicality and will only cost about £12,000 second hand. 8
