Cheapest 4x4s of 2022
4x4s are great at tackling rough roads or getting you out of a tricky spot in adverse weather conditions. Some luxury 4x4s can be very expensive, but if your budget doesn’t stretch that far we have picked a selection of the cheapest models offer that will still do the job.
1. Skoda Karoq
carwow price from
£270* / month
(£24,606)
The Karoq may be small but it has decent interior space and a good infotainment system. It’s not particularly stylish but is solidly built and you can pick from a wide range of options. Don’t tick too many boxes though, as it can quickly get pricey.
2. Volvo XC40
carwow price from
£320* / month
(£26,012)
If you want to stand out from the SUV crowd, the funky Volvo XC40 is the perfect 4x4 for you. It comes with plenty of safety equipment and a stunning interior, but the 4x4 versions can get pricey so make sure you absolutely need that extra all-weather ability before ticking that box.
3. Skoda Kodiaq
carwow price from
£299* / month
(£31,189)
If you need off-road ability, space for up to seven and a boot big enough to take everyone’s luggage, then the Skoda Kodiaq can do it all. 4x4 versions are a bit pricier and some rivals may have newer tech, but it’s still a great buy at the price.
4. Kia Sportage
carwow price from
£200* / month
(£25,322)
The Sportage is one of the most popular SUVs on sale thanks to its great cabin, tech and hybrid engines. The optional 4x4 system gives it even more ability off-road. It does have a slightly firm ride though and the touchscreen is tricky to operate on the move.
5. Fiat Panda 4x4
carwow price from
£266* / month
(£16,423)
It may look like a cute city car, but the Fiat Panda 4x4 is rather good off-road too and its easy to drive. The boot is pretty small though, and its infotainment system could do with an update. Despite that, the Panda 4x4 is still great value for money.
6. Dacia Sandero Stepway
carwow price from
£177* / month
(£12,739)
The Sandero Stepway is a regular Sandero with some faux-SUV plastic trim and a slightly raised ride height. It is comfortable and spacious but despite its looks is actually just front-wheel drive, so don’t venture too far off road. It’s sparsely equipped but is priced very keenly.
7. Toyota Yaris Cross
carwow price from
£211* / month
(£22,395)
The funky little Yaris Cross has a very efficient hybrid powertrain and decent luggage space. The build quality is impressive, and you will appreciate the raised driving position in town and off road. However, it can get a bit bouncy on rough terrain and the engine isn’t the quietest when pushed.
8. Dacia Duster
carwow price from
£197* / month
(£14,411)
If you need a rugged 4x4 with space for four, then the Dacia Duster is a great choice. It may be basic inside, but you still get a decent infotainment system and more passenger and luggage space than anything else at this price point.
9. Suzuki Jimny Commercial
The Suzuki Jimny was a fun and cheap little 4x4 with superb off-road ability, but emissions regulations stopped sales in the UK. However, the two-seater commercial version is still available, it’s perfect on rough terrain but is spartan inside and rather dismal on tarred roads.
10. Mazda CX-30
carwow price from
£217* / month
(£22,405)
The CX-30 is fun to drive, has decent equipment and looks stylish too. But it can get a bit cramped in the back for adults and the boot is also smaller than most rivals. While it can’t be had with four-wheel-drive, the raised ride height should help you on rutted paths.
