Hyundai Tucson →
First sold here in 2005, then replaced by the ix35 before the nameplate returned in 2016. The current range offers petrol and diesel power with a comfort-first setup. It sells steadily against the Sportage and RAV4 and holds value adequately rather than exceptionally.
Known for: comfortable family suv with generous warranty
Peugeot 3008 →
Sold here from the first-generation crossover in 2010 through the well-regarded second-generation SUV, with new stock gone by about 2025. Its i-Cockpit interior was a genuine talking point. Used prices look tempting for the spec on offer.
Known for: i-cockpit family suv value
