Top Picks for Spacious SUVs in 2025: Affordable Options
In the ever-growing market of large SUVs in Australia, several new models have recently been introduced. Here's a rundown of some key features of these vehicles:
The MG QS, one of the largest seven-seat SUVs, measures 4983mm in length. It comes with a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, producing 153kW and 360Nm, mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. The MG QS offers a boot space of 203 litres (third row up), 517L (third row folded), and 1052L (third + second row folded). The vehicle comes with a 7-year/unlimited km warranty, extendable to 10 years/250,000km if serviced at MG, and has a five-year service cost of $3442 (Excite) and $3618 (Essence).
The MG QS's competitor, the Isuzu MU-X, is another new large SUV, priced from $48,400 plus on-road costs. It offers two four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine choices: a 110kW/350Nm 1.9-litre and a 140kW/450Nm 3.0-litre, both with six-speed automatic transmissions. The Isuzu MU-X is not especially dynamic on the road but it is quite comfortable and easy to drive. Off-road, the Isuzu MU-X is excellent, with strong four-wheel drive ability and features such as a rough terrain mode, which independently controls front wheel grip and transfers power to the opposite wheel to help traction. The Isuzu MU-X comes with a six-year/150,000km warranty and the first five years of servicing costs just $449 each.
The Isuzu MU-X has a starting price of $48,400 plus on-road costs for the two-wheel drive base model, ranging to a drive away special price of $73,990 for the top-spec X-Terrain.
Another new entrant in the large SUV segment is the Mazda CX-80, priced from $56,195 plus on-road costs. The Mazda CX-80 offers three different powertrains: a four-cylinder plug-in hybrid and two mild-hybrid inline sixes, one petrol and one diesel. The Mazda CX-80 has a boot space of 258L (third row up), 566L (third row folded), and 1971L (third + second rows folded).
The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max, priced from just $41,990 drive away, or $38,990 drive away thanks to a manufacturer's special, offers two drivetrains: a 183kW 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and a 255kW 1.5-litre turbo plug-in hybrid, both with CVT transmissions. The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max has a seven-year/unlimited km warranty and the first five years of servicing costs $1495.
Lastly, the KGM Rexton, a new large SUV from Kia, is yet to be officially launched in Australia. However, it is expected to use a 148kW 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and offer a seven-year/unlimited km warranty, five years roadside assistance, annual/every 15,000km service intervals, and a five-year service cost of $2298.
Each of these vehicles brings something unique to the table, catering to different needs and preferences of Australian consumers. Whether you're looking for off-road capabilities, fuel efficiency, or a spacious interior, there's a new large SUV that suits your needs.
