After a vehicle that is high seated other than SUV

jojo76, Dec 1, 11:42pm
So i currently have a 1994 rav4 that im looking to upgrade to a 5 door.I like it cause of it's height, great for seeing at intersections, and are'nt huge vehicles.Our main vehicle is an xr6 and menouvering(!) it can be a bit of a mission! So i have been looking at another SUV either a 2000+ rav4 or a suzuki vitara.But as i like it around town, me think the fuel economy won't be that great.But would you recommend out of those 2 or can you recommend some thing else, that is 'high seated'! Cheers

This rides nice and high. Economical as well and perfect for around town.

Suzuki SX4. Not the same height as your Rav but still a good alternative

jojo--Have a look at a Toyota sienta. Higher seat height and easy for the kiddies

Marauder is not an SUV so might fit the bill,, as seen on Top Gear, Google it for a look

Umm no

All the major brands have something along those lines. Mazda CX7, Nissan Qashqai.Mitsi have something as well. My parents have a Qashqai and like it.to me it feels like a hatchback but higher. Think it is a Dualis as an import

If its SUV style you want then I can't help
If its just higher seat and economical theres a few options out there

I needed a higher seating and bought a Toyota Ractis.Not the prettiest car but practical and the mobility walker fits in the back (just)

The Nissan Cube is quite easy to get in and out of, strange looking but go well.

What about a Suzuki SX4 - brilliant for the extra height, seats 4 adults without a problem, and can even get my collaspible power chair in the boot at the same time!

We put a tow bar on to do lighter trailer loads (garden rubbish etc).

W even got one with leather seats!Have been very happy with it over the past 4 years.

Don't think the size or fuel economy will fit the bill ! (at least these had the 2.3 turbo rather than the current yaaawwwn cx5 replacement though.)

Have a look at the corolla spacio. Excellent access especially for people with mobility problems
