If size matters, consider moving past estates to the impressive Audi e-tron. With its 22-inch alloys and bold gloss black exterior, it's as striking as it is powerful, boasting a 95kWh battery for an estimated range of 226 miles and 402bhp for smooth rides.
If you're into a more boisterous ride, the Range Rover Sport SVR offers a throaty 5.0-liter V8 just under budget. Despite its 75,000 miles, it still impresses with dynamic looks, but be prepared for a higher insurance tab if you're in London.
Similar to the Range Rover, the BMW X5 M hides a V8 under the hood, now remapped for over 700bhp. Luxury extras include a glass roof, carbon fiber trim, and cushy memory foam seats.
Can't afford a super-high-performance SUV? Consider the dual-motor ‘100D’ as a reasonable substitute. This model includes ‘Subzero Weather’ and 'Towing' packs alongside luxurious Alcantara leather, making long trips comfortable.
Fancy a higher horsepower EV at a bargain? The 2024 Fisker Ocean is a compelling option. With 564bhp and a price well below value due to the brand’s financial woes, it's the right time to snatch this stylish ride.
While you might find a 'Turbo' under $30k, we prefer this 'GTS' model. Its deep grey finish, red calipers, black alloys, and open-top roof combine seamlessly for a car full of character.
Tracking down a sub-£30k Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio is possible. This modern marvel offers impressive specs: 503bhp, 443lb ft, a swift 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds, and a top speed of 176mph, ensuring both performance and reliability.
Sharing its engine with the Range Rover, the F-Pace offers a more aesthetically pleasing interior and possibly a lower insurance premium, making it a worthy contender for style-savvy SUV hunters.
Between the ‘T8’ and the ‘D5’ versions, we've chosen the ‘D5’ for its stylish 'R-Design' suit, even if it's less potent. The XC90 emerges as a sensible alternative to the Jaecoo 7.
For the adventurous, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT unleashes a 461bhp V8, emphasizing raw power and flamboyance. At £33k, it costs less than a Jaecoo 7 hybrid while offering extravagant American flair.
In the quest for SUVs under the cost of a new Jaecoo 7, there are exciting prospects ranging from electrifying e-trons to dynamic Range Rovers and sleek Alfa Romeos to formidable Jeeps. Whether your preference leans toward power, style, or value, these options cater to every SUV enthusiast's dream.
