Which petrol SUV is best?

We want to buy a new SUV. It must have a petrol engine. Most of our mileage is long distance and on motorways, around 10-15k miles per year, so we believe we need a decent size engine.

There seem to be few options with petrol engines but maybe there are some about to become available in the UK. Looking at cars like Hyundai Tuscon and Renault Kadjar, and the equivalents from Toyota and Mazda. Have you any suggestions on what might be worth us looking at.

The most enjoyable recently driven was the KIA Sportage q.6T-GDI GT AWD: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/kia/kia-sportage-2.../ Or the cheaper Suzuki Vitara S 1.4T BoosterJet: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/suzuki/suzuki-vita.../
