The best used large SUVs of 2021

If you want a car that offers a huge amount of space and practicality with a dash of rugged styling, a large SUV might be the perfect choice. This type of car can be very comfortable to drive and ride because you and your passenger sit on raised seats with great views. Dozens of models are available, including fuel-efficient family cars, sporty high-performance models, low-emission hybrids and limousine-style luxury vehicles. You'll find all this and more in our Top 10 Large Used SUVs.

(If you like the idea of ​​an SUV but want something more compact, take a look at our guide to the best used small SUVs.)

1.Hyundai Santa Fe

In the last Hyundai Santa Fe (on sale since 2018) is available with a diesel engine or two types of hybrid power - you have a "regular" and a plug-in hybrid to choose from. A conventional hybrid can go a couple of miles on electricity for quieter, less polluting city driving and stop-and-go traffic. The plug-in hybrid can travel up to 36 miles on a fully charged battery, which could be enough for your daily commute. CO2 emissions are also low, so the vehicle excise tax (car tax) and the company car tax are low. Early examples were available with a diesel engine, but as of 2020 the Santa Fe is hybrid only.

Each Santa Fe has seven seats, and the third row is spacious enough for adults. Fold those seats down for a huge trunk. All models come with more features than many premium competitors, though the interior doesn't feel as luxurious. However, Santa Fe is very expensive.
