Title: Mid size SUV max $30,000
Post by: Pikapolonica on May 11, 2022, 02:14:09: Currently drive a 2017 i30, but looking to upgrade to a small-medium SUV. Need something to comfortably seat 4 adults, 2 of them being elderly in their 80's, so need something they can get in and out of easy without struggle.

Don't like the Venue, Kona is so so.

Leaning towards a Kia though. Did consider the Toyota Yaris Cross but doesn't look roomy in the back.

Been watching a lot of reviews on YT before I go out and physically look.

Maximum is $30,000. Must include DAB and SatNav, which I currently have in mine, so not wanting to go backwards and not have these features.

Satnav isn't such an issue any these days with most new vehicles supporting Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, maps come directly from the phone and are generally more up to date than navigation systems.

I did look at the CX30 but I don't like the position of the screen....I'm very fussy with the layout and looks of cars. CX5 too big for me...and $$$
