Hunting the best SUV in Australia under $40,000 for 2022? New choices that fit (or flirt with) the cap include Mazda CX‑5 Maxx Sport, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage S, Subaru Forester 2.5i, Mitsubishi Outlander ES, plus value champs like MG HS and Haval H6. Expect new drive‑away prices roughly $30k–$40k, while 2019–2021 used examples of the same bunch sit around $22k–$35k depending on kms, trim, and service history. The Mazdas feel most polished; Hyundai/Kia bring big cabins and long warranties; Subaru stacks on standard AWD and safety; Outlander offers occasional seven seats; MG/Haval pile on features but trade off resale and refinement. Test ride quality, seat comfort, boot shape, and the safety tech tuning—spec sheets talk big, speed bumps tell the truth. For max value, a lightly used example on Tradingpost can deliver more kit for the same money and still leave change for rego and a flat white.
