Porsche Macan
– Starting from £46,344
– Horsepower: 245bhp
– 0-60: 6.7sec
– Boot Space: 500 litres
– 34.9mpg
The Macan has shot to the top of Porsche sales ranks since its release back in 2014 and has shown the world how well a high sided ‘utility car’ can handle itself. The car is set to become Porsches first 100,000-annual-unit seller. With more options than you can shake a stick at, the Macan is a brilliant car for family life with its 5 seats and big boot, whilst still looking incredibly sporty.
Audi RS6
– Starting from £79,545
– Horsepower: 552bhp
– 0-60: 3.8sec
– Boot Space: 565 litres
– 28mpg
The RS6 is said to one of the world’s best all-rounders. Room for 5 passenger and 2 dogs, acceleration that is only matched by supercars, ability to out handle sports cars, the RS6 is a truly incredible machine. If you can afford to run one, they are simple one of the greatest family cars of all time.
2017 SEAT Leon ST Cupra 300
– Starting from £33,260
– Horsepower: 300bhp
– 0-60: 4.9sec
– Boot Space: 587 Litres
Despite the love for crossovers and SUVs, compact estate cars have seen a renaissance in recent years. The SEAT Leon ST has proven to be very popular, not least because of striking good looks, strong equipment levels and decent value.
BMW 530d xDrive M Sport Touring
– Starting from £55,030
– Horsepower: 265bhp
– 0-60: 5.6sec
– Boot Space: 570 litres
– 39.8mpg
The 5 series combines class and performance. Plenty of room for the whole family, but with silky smooth 6-cylinder diesel engine it also gives great performance with a 0-60 of just 5.6 seconds whilst still maintaining nearly 40mpg.
Land Rover Range Rover SVR
– Starting from £99,680
– Horsepower: 567bhp
– 0-60: 4.3sec
– Boot Space: 784 litres
– 18.9mpg
We simply couldn’t leave the SVR off this list. When Land Rover decided to tune its supercharged up a notch in 2014 for the first generation of SVR we were excited. Little did we know the car would become quite so popular.
The 567bhp heart can see the car hit 0-60 in an eye watering 4.3 seconds. Yes, it’s extremely uneconomical, owned by your favourite footballer and louder than hell being raised…
But that’s exactly what makes us love the SVR! And the best part? The family and the dog can come along for the ride too!
