Could waiting for the next SUV save you thousands, or leave you paying for yesterday’s technology? I break down the upcoming models that could change the UK family SUV market through 2027, and explain which ones are worth watching.

I cover the Nissan Kicks e-Power, Kia Seltos Hybrid, Mazda CX-5 Hybrid, Defender Sport and next-generation Hyundai Tucson, including what is known about their timing, technology, pricing and potential risks. I also explain why the first year may not be the right time to buy the smaller Defender.

I show how registration plates, pre-registered cars, stocking finance, PCP payments and dealer incentives can affect the real cost of a deal. I also share the key March 2027 date and the exact sentence I would use to get an itemised on-the-road price before discussing monthly payments.
