Family value SUV - what is best?

  • KatieH's Avatar
    Hi all

    I am interested understanding more about the value SUV family range. I have been persuaded that BYD is a good brand, but any views from owners of the following; Yaris Cross, KONA EV, Vauxhall mokka EV, Peugeot E 208, Vauxhall Corsa e, T-ROC, Ford Puma, Yaris Cross, Nissan Juke.

    That seems to be the core competitive set - am I missing any?

    All views appreciated from current owners. Or intenders.

    Many thanks,

    I'm sure you missed a good dozen, there is much choice in that segment right now!!

    If you intend to own more than 3 years I'd personally go with Toyota for the 10 year warranty and Japanese dependability...

    That's just my biased view though!
