In the middle of 2022, SUVs are still on the crest of the wave. They are in fashion and the offer of SUVs is increasingly wide, finding new market niches where it seemed impossible. With so much to choose from, we bring you the best SUVs to buy in 2022 for less than 35,000 euros.
It is a fairly broad budget that allows you to get models of almost all sizes, opt for premium brands and even opt for electrified mechanics that even include electric cars.
cupra formentor
The Cupra Formentor is usually a regular in the SUV lists and, with the parameters that we handle in this one, it could not be missing, and it is that for less than 35,000 euros it is possible to do with what is its version with more volume.
It is the 150 hp 1.5 TSI gasoline engine, always with front-wheel drive and that is within the budget with both the six-speed manual gearbox (32,400 euros) and the seven-speed automatic DSG (34,780 euros).
Ford Puma ST
The Ford Puma is an option to keep in mind if you are looking for a small SUV with a sports soul, but the best thing is that with the budget we have on this occasion, you can even aspire to its higher-performance version.
The Puma ST mounts a 1.5 EcoBoost engine that delivers 150 hp and 285 Nm, associated with a six-speed manual gearbox and the front-wheel drive system, it goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.3 seconds. With the brand’s discounts, it is available from 29,869 euros.
Airways U5
The “the Chinese are coming” has become a reality, many brands are beginning to land in Europe and they do so with products whose quality is going to begin to put European manufacturers in trouble, especially in electrical matters. The Aiways U5 is one of the best examples.
With the MOVES III Plan, it is available from 32,690 euros and we are already talking about a zero-emission compact SUV with 204 hp and 410 kilometers of autonomy that recharges from 20 to 80% in 35 minutes.
BMW X1
Although it is possible to enter premium brands with this budget, since we are talking about SUVs, you have to settle for access models and, as a general rule, with their cheaper versions.
In the case of the BMW X1, the only one that is in price is the sDrive16d diesel, with a 116 hp engine, a manual gearbox (the automatic makes it more expensive by 3,000 euros) and front-wheel drive. It is available for 34,750 euros.
Hyundai Tucson plug-in hybrid
We allow ourselves a small license here, since it costs 35,190 euros, but we believe that it is an affordable margin for one of the most interesting versions of the Hyundai Tucson, since it is the most powerful and also sports the DGT Zero label.
It develops 265 hp and 350 Nm of torque, has a 13.8 kWh battery and is capable of driving up to 50 kilometers in electric mode, homologating a combined cycle consumption of only 1.4 l/100 km.
Mazda CX-30
All Mazda models sport a very successful design that distinguishes them from their rivals. In the case of the CX-30, it is also implemented in such a way that, even though it is an SUV, it transmits quite athletic and dynamic sensations.
In addition, it is possible to opt for any of its trim levels and for practically all of its mechanical options, the most interesting being the 186 hp E-Skyactiv X block with microhybridization (although for budget you have to settle for front-wheel drive).
peugeot 3008
Although the most popular of the family is the “small” Peugeot 2008, the 3008 is a model that stands out among compact SUVs for its muscular design with an imposing front end. Although due to budget you cannot opt for plug-in hybrid variants, it is possible to choose between diesel and gasoline (both with 130 hp) and manual or automatic transmission.
