What kind of top of range good SUV's are out there? I'm asking as my dad wants something bigger then an estate. Been looking at AUDI Q7's which seem about best, are there anymore?

Can be upto 3 years old and around max £35k. Thanks guys.
 
BMW X5 comes quite highly recommended from a friend's father (he has the 3.0 litre diesel). You'll want the newer E70 if you want 7 seats though.
 
Does an SMax count?

Thats what I would get anyhow 2.5 turbo Titanium

Edit: MPV I guess (still what I would get however)
 
There's a company called overfinch (who modify Range Rovers). I know they used to do a 7 seat option.

Does he need a 4x4 for heavy off road use, or is it going to be used mostly on road?

Mostly on road, new BMW X5 he doesn't like much. Mercedes GL is just too big. I prefer the Audi, but was wondering if there is something better in terms of practicality and equipment.
 
Hmm does it have to be 4x4? If not a renault espace or a toyota previa. My bro just got his new Q7 and its a beast, i think its bigger than a M class. The only problem with 7 seats is no space in the boot for bags etc
 
The problem with a non 4x4 with 7 seats is they're inevitably horrible people carrier things - he's spending 35k not 10k so he's going to want something with a bit of class and driver appeal.

XC90 would get my money
 
I'd say get a landy, range rovers are very footballery anyway.
It's a status symbol so yeah I'd agree on the audi Q7 if he doesn't like the bmw or merc alternatives.

Or a used escalade and use the change for big chrome spinners and tinted windows :D

The Q7 is enormous. As big as a GL.

aye i know, but i think the GL is even bigger. i think it might even be bigger than the titanic, just.

not sure which one is more vulgar though, both are pretty offensive in their own way
 
Q7 is more rounder. GL looks like a block on wheels, my uncle has one, a nice motor to say the least. I quite like the ABT style Q7's. My dad prefers a german car over anything else. The R Class is nice motor, but he'd prefer a SUV.

Escalade/Hummer sucks too much petrol. Can't afford it. Thanks for replies though, will have a look at a BMW X5.

EDIT: Porsche Cayenne Diesel? Do they come with 7 Seats?
