I have a comment. Both utterly hideous vehicles. in my opinion.

I prefer the Sportage/Tucson to the Rav. Might depend on which series/year though.

Sportage -easy decision

Rav 4 - holds its value really well. Sportage looks a bit too strange

are we talking new or 2nd hand ?

Low mileage 2nd hand on both.

My advice is to drive the Skoda options before settling on any of those. Also consider the spec, efficiency etc. Don't be put off by the Skoda's CC rating, it's well proven design doesn't need CC's for power or torque.

Neither will give any trouble and have reasonable resale so a safe buy, but honestly probably the two most ordinary suvs to drive.

i realise they are not the top of the line, but all I want is a good safe vehicle that I can pack some gear in and still get around town while at weekends hitch my caravan onto. I will leave the high performance jobs to those who prefer the flashy ones, been there done that, to each their own, but thanks to all who answered.

You might consider the Ssangyong Korando with the 2L and 6 speed auto.

If you are going to hook a caravan to a small suv make sure it has sway mitigation. How big is the caravan? Are you after 4x4? Maybe an escape would be better. Definitely a better car over all but also not bad for towing especially in diesel form. Diesel no good if you do short trips though.

Scroll down the page a little for escape
