Hi guys, so I currently have a B7 RS4 as my main car. This is unfortunately in a garage having the engine pulled out for various reasons which I won't divulge, but anyhow it's left me feeling sour about the car (I already wasn't sure about keeping it).

I now fancy a change, so when I get it back I'll be looking to trade it on.

I also have a B6 A4 Avant 1.9tdi and a defender 90 TD5. Traditionally I've had sportier cars, so things such as an M2 comp, C63, M140i, Leon Cupra etc, but I now fancy a slower and comfier way of life with a bit of luxury and probably 4x4.

Budget max I would say £20k but lower the better.

Current considerations are the Discovery 4 and X5, but any other suggestions, or even opinions on the ones I have suggested, would be greatly appreciated!

Slight curved ball. I used to have a BMW 760Li. It was a truly awesome car. 550bhp of V12 gorgeousness. Went like the clappers but oh so luxurious. £20K would get you one of those and a sense of ‘good’ that no X5 or Disco could deliver.

Sounds like you want something reliable and wafty with a high driving position. I'd consider a Lexus RX450h, as they're good at comfort and being a Lexus will minimise your chances of the serious problems your Audi has.

ugh an SUV! That's not very PH!

How about these?

Jaguar F-Pace D180
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202110128...


Porsche Cayenne Hybrid
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202106193...


Lexus RX450h
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202108186...



Or, if you want luxury with AWD, what about one of these non-SUV options

Audi A8 3.0 TDI SE LWB
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202111029...


Lexus LS600h
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202110299...


Take a brave pill and look at this Bentley Continental Flying Spur
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202108106...


Or get essentially the same car at a massive discount in the form of this VW Pheaton 4.2 LWB
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202110048...


Or if you want really low cost luxury, try this Honda Legend 3.5 i-VTEC with SH-AWD (SH means "super handling")
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202106234...


Actually, do you really need AWD? I don't think so. So that means you can try one of these

Mercedes S500

Jaguar XJ D V6 LWB
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202107175...


BMW 740i SE
