Need a work/family car

[Pinguu]

Going to be travelling into the office soon again for 2/3 days a week, 50 mile round trip so need a new car.

Will be mainly used for the work commute and ferrying kids around to various places along with a few camping trips where space will be needed.

Wife would like a SUV/Mini SUV type thing with the raised seating position

Must haves -

-Petrol/Automatic gearbox
-Android Auto
-Front and rear parking sensors (ideally camera for reversing)
-Large enough boot for camping equipment

The more gadgets the better really (auto wipers, auto dipping headlights, lane assist, cruise control etc...) although these are not must haves. I really like a nice looking interior, with a smooth ride and as little road noise as possible.

I'm not too worried about the badge.

Budget is £16k although could add an extra 2k if needed

What are my options here?

Thanks

I'd say with your commute a diesel will be fine & probably be better options.

These are reliable & very nice inside (an X3 is behind interior wise) they don't have Android Auto but you can have it Retro fitted, look at the link below:

Or the smaller QX30

Or if it has to be petrol then the the 1.5T Kuga in Titanium X Sport spec is the go to option:

I was going to also suggest a Ford Kuga. Cheap to run, well made and loads of gadgets in Titanium spec.

These Seat Arona 1.0 TSIs seem to fit your requirements nicely

If you need a bit more space, what about the Seat Ateca 1.4 EcoTSI?

Really like the Kuga. Is the diesel 1.5 engine OK?

[ZX10R NIN]

It's better suited to the 2.0d engine the 1.3d is adequate & in the real world not that much better on fuel.
