Finding the right car for you on the Motability scheme is important, and luckily, never before have we had a range of SUVs suitable for everyone in the family.

With SUVs becoming ever more popular because of their functionality and good looks, people are looking for SUVs to carry their essentials from A to B.

Here are our top picks for the best SUVs on the Motability scheme.

Nissan Qashqai

Starting at less than £15,000, the Nissan Qashqai promises a stylish drive without compromising on comfort, making it one of the best SUVs on the Motability scheme.

This manual, front-wheel-drive car has a 1.2-litre Renault-supplied engine that gives you 115hp to play with even when the SUV is filled to the brim with cargo.

With 504 litres of boot space available, you can be safely assured everything you need will fit in this car.

And with important optional features such as keyless entry and parking assistance in the form of a camera and sensors, what's not to love?

Suzuki Vitara

The Suzuki Vitara is a model that prides itself on functionality and efficiency – perfect for those looking to drive with sustainability in mind.

Not only is it stylish, but the 1.5-litre engine provides enough power for you to enjoy your journey.

With up to 375 litres of boot space, this SUV packs a large boot for a small SUV choice, so there's plenty of room for everything you need.

Other features include keyless start, automatic transmission, parking sensors and a multifunctional steering wheel.

SEAT Arona

The sleek SEAT Arona front-wheel-drive SUV is great for anyone looking to drive in style while being accessible to the Motability scheme in its 1-litre form.

It boasts 400 litres of boot space and features such as auto-stop/start and cruise control are sure to make things easier.

And because SEAT shares engines with Volkswagen, you can trust the Arona to get you from point A to B faff-free.

For those wondering what the best automatic SUV on the Motability Scheme is, you can't go wrong if you're looking at the SEAT Arona.

Renault Captur

Not every SUV has to be built to dominate the roads. The Renault Captur small SUV combines the power of an SUV with the design of a smaller car.

The Renault Captur is one of the cheapest SUVs on offer for your Motability needs, and with a raised ground clearance and a contrasting roof, this car doesn’t need to be large to make an impact.

With 422 litres of available boot space and clever storage options, you have plenty of room to pack what you need for your journey.

Sporting a beefier design than the Clio supermini, Renault knows its style.

Vauxhall Crossland

Formerly known as the Crossland X, the Vauxhall Crossland 1.2 Turbo Ultimate sits comfortably between Vauxhall’s mid-sized Grandland and the compact Mokka SUVs.

Performing at 110hp, you get the power of an SUV even when all five seats are taken up by family members.

With this model, you can invest in a cheaper SUV that's light on its wheels and doesn't compromise on style.

Boot space measures a respectable 410 litres – better than several of its competitors.

Nissan Juke

The Nissan Juke is arguably one of the most distinctive cars on the SUV market, with its pronounced haunches and slanting roof giving it an aggressive look.

It offers a comfortable journey even around trickier roads, while its sturdy design means that even tackling quiet country road corners is not a problem for the driver.

Storage will not be a problem with 422 litres of boot space at your disposal, and with features including cruise control, speed limiter as well as a push start button and sat-nav, this SUV has everything you need to hit the road.

Hyundai Kona

When it comes to distinctive cars, the Hyundai Kona gives the Nissan Juke a run for its money, with its quirky, large alloy wheels and arches catching everyone's eye.

The Hyundai Kona could be one of the best compact SUVs on the Motability-approved market, and with a lively all-electric Hyundai Kona range to choose from, this model can be brilliant even for the most eco-conscious.

Boot space measures 466 litres, but that can be increased by folding the rear seats down depending on your cargo.

MG ZS

The compact MG ZS is a great alternative for those looking for a bargain version of the family favourite Kia Stonic.

Compared to the Nissan Qashqai and Renault Captur, this car has a stylish, yet understated, look to it – making it the perfect first SUV to get on the Motability scheme.

With features including Apple CarPlay, rear parking sensors, and a parking pilot, the MG ZS is a great starter SUV for those looking to upgrade their smaller car.

It's also practical, with a chunky 470 litres available in the boot for all of your storage needs.

Mazda CX-30

The Mazda CX-30 is one of the best offerings on the list, showing carmakers how to provide elegance and power in one vehicle.

While slightly pricier than most of this list, the Mazda CX-30 is one of the most stylish cars available in the subcompact SUV category.

Suitable for both on-road and off, this car can do it all, making it perfect for your daily commute or your trek up into the hills.

Based on the familiar Mazda 3, this compact SUV takes the premium beauty of Mazda’s car designs and adds a sporty dynamic to your Motability scheme selection.

With storage in the boot measuring 430 litres, there's plenty of space for your cargo.

The Mazda CX-30 boasts blind spot monitoring, a parking pilot and many more features that improve the functionality and comfort of this sleek and beautiful car.

Lexus UX

The Lexus UX is a premium family SUV making taking trips together a breeze. And for those looking to remain eco-conscious, their hybrid engine design means that you can take a trip while minimising your emissions.

The Lexus UX offers parking sensors, navigation, and even heated seating – paralleling the quality interior of a Toyota – so be comfortable whether you're on a long or short journey.

With around 438 litres of boot space on offer depending on trim and engine size, you can rest assured your storage requirements will be satisfied.

Automatic gearboxes and plenty of power means that you can have some fun while driving this SUV.
