Here we show you the best SUVs to buy in 2022, a selection that includes the best possible option in each market segment.

SUVs have long been the segment with the highest demand in the market. In fact, so far this year, the best-selling car in Spain is precisely an SUV. For this reason, it is more than likely that you are considering acquiring one of these vehicles. Today we offer you a list that includes the best SUVs to buy in 2022.

To make it even more interesting, we have chosen the best option from each segment. The market is divided into six different SUV segments, ranging from small urban SUVs (less than 4.0 meters in length) to large SUVs around 5.0 meters. Even the luxury segment has landed on this type of vehicle.

Today we show you an SUV from each of these segments, which we consider the best purchase option for this 2022. Thus, we will guide you a bit if you are looking for a model to buy this year and do not know where to start.

Urban SUV: Toyota Aygo X Cross

Starting from the smallest segment of the market we have the Toyota Aygo X Cross. More than an SUV, it is an urban crossover that arrives to cover the space left by the Aygo in the range. This segment A SUV measures just 3.7 meters long and has a 230-liter trunk that you can combine with an interior that can fit four passengers (2+2).

On a mechanical level, the options are limited, since you can only choose a 1.0-liter, three-cylinder gasoline engine without a turbo that develops 72 hp of power. It is associated with a five-speed manual transmission or a CVT-type automatic transmission. If you are interested, the Aygo X Cross is available from 14,400 euros.

B-SUV: Peugeot 2008

We go up a step in the SUV segment and we reach the so-called B-SUV or B-segment SUV. The model we have chosen in this case is the Peugeot 2008, a car that is on the limit of the compact, but that competes within this market niche. It measures 4.3 meters long, has an interior for five passengers and offers a 430-litre boot.

The engine offer includes 1.2-liter gasoline units with 100 and 130 hp of power, as well as a 1.5-liter diesel with 130 hp and a 100% electric version with 136 hp and 337 kilometers of autonomy. There are versions with manual or automatic transmission, and prices start from 24,690 euros.

Compact SUV: Hyundai Tucson

It is proving to be the best seller in the Spanish market and a complete success for the Korean firm since its launch more than a year ago. The new Hyundai Tucson is one of the most interesting options in the entire SUV market and the perfect option if you are looking for a compact vehicle. It measures 4.5 meters long, has space for five passengers and a generous trunk of up to 620 liters.

The engine offer includes gasoline units with 150 and 180 hp, and Mild Hybrid diesel with 116 and 136 hp, with manual or automatic gearbox. The range is completed with a 230 hp hybrid and a 265 hp plug-in hybrid version with 60 km of electric range. There are also front-wheel drive or 4×4 configurations. You can have it (discounts included) from 26,125 euros.

Midsize SUV: Skoda Kodiaq

Something with a more familiar and practical approach would be the Skoda Kodiaq, which is the midsize SUV we’ve chosen as the best SUV to buy in 2022 within this segment. This model reaches 4.69 meters in length, there are versions with five and seven seats, and offers a 650-liter trunk along with different practical solutions courtesy of Skoda.

On a mechanical level, you have the 150 and 190 hp petrol engines, and the 150 and 200 hp diesel, as well as a 245 hp petrol RS version. The engines are associated with manual or automatic DSG gearboxes that send power to the front end or to all four wheels. The Kodiaq is available with a starting price of 36,150 euros.

Large SUV: BMW X5

One of the largest on the market and one of the best you can buy. In this case, we have chosen the BMW X5, an E-segment premium SUV that is a benchmark. With 4.92 meters in length and an interior with versions of five and seven seats, the X5 offers a trunk with up to 650 liters of volumetric capacity.

The engine offer includes a 340 hp gasoline engine and three diesel options with 231, 265 and 340 hp power. Above all of them we find the 625 hp X5 M, as well as a 394 hp plug-in hybrid version with up to 88 km of electric range. All engines are available with automatic gearbox and 4×4 drive. The price starts from 74,700 euros.

Luxury SUV: Mercedes GLS

The last option that we recommend within our selection of the best SUVs to buy in 2022 is a luxury vehicle, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4Matic, a mammoth high-end vehicle with 5.2 meters long, an interior for five passengers and a trunk of 520 liters of capacity.

In this case, there is only one mechanism available, a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo with Mild Hybrid technology that develops 557 horsepower and a maximum torque of 730 Nm. It is linked to a nine-speed automatic transmission and a standard four-wheel drive system. If you are willing to pay the 198,858 euros that Mercedes asks for a new unit, you will surely be right in your choice.
