What's the best family SUV for £12,000?

We are looking to buy a used family SUV that is economical and reliable. We’d want to avoid the small SUVs (Qashqai) and need a but more space. Can you recommend something below £12,000?.

A Honda CR-V would be a good choice. It's more practical than a Qashqai, will be very reliable and your budget will buy a good example from 2016. Also consider a Hyundai Santa Fe.
