If you are looking for an SUV for sale, that means one of the three things: you want more space than a hatchback, a higher seating position or the flexibility of a bigger boot without stepping up to a van. Cars24 lists SUVs from over 20 brands and is highest selling body type.
Cars24 currently has 544 SUV cars for sale across Australia, priced from $11,990 to $69,290 . Between April 2024 and March 2026, Cars24 sold over 6,800 SUVs nationally, led by brands like Mazda, MG, Toyota, Kia and Hyundai.
Take some time to consider usage and need before embarking on the search. If you're a family of two, or you're driving a car on your own most of the time, then a small SUV in Australia such as the Mazda CX-3, Mazda CX-30, Toyota C-HR, Mitsubishi ASX or the Audi Q2 could be better suited for you, with the added benefit of a higher ride that gives you better rear visibility and a higher sitting position, without the bulk or parking hassle of a larger car. The current price for this range varies from the older CX-3s at about $15,000 to the newer C-HR and CX-30s at high $20,000s.
Before falling for a compact SUV that seems like a great deal but doesn't meet your lifestyle needs, consider scaling up if you're a frequent carrier of more than two passengers or a lugger of gear.

This is great news for those who are making the transition from hatch or sedan and don't want to learn how to drive again: virtually every SUV Car24 has on offer today is automatic. Manuals are the exception in dozens of current Mazda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Kia and Hyundai vehicles. If the automatic is a must for you, you aren't narrowing down overall; you're just eliminating the exceptions.
Hybrids, such as the Honda HR-V e: HEV ( priced around $32,000), are more expensive initially than their petrol counterpart, but make up for the additional cost in reduced fuel consumption for regular city driving and a lot of stop/start traffic. When driving predominantly highway kilometres, the fuel savings are not as critical and a cheaply priced petrol SUV could be the better choice in the long run. There are also a few fully electric options, with the Tesla Model Y the most dependable of those at present on the market; if you can plug it in at home, and your driving habits are within its range, it might be worth considering.
Seven seats on a list don't necessarily imply that there are seven actual seats. A 7-seater SUV such as the Kia Sorento or Toyota Kluger is generally good at accommodating real grown-up passengers in the third row and maintaining a usable boot space even with all of the seats extended. The third row and boot space are reduced significantly when the 7th seat is in use, but a smaller 7-seat Mitsubishi Outlander or Mazda CX-9 can technically fit seven people. If it's not just for the odd school trip, as well as looking at the number of seats in the listing title, consider the dimensions of the actual cargo as well.
Decide on size and seat count first, and don’t let price alone drive the decision.
Filter by fuel type and transmission for the models that fit your budget band.
Shortlist 2-3 similarly priced options across different brands and compare them directly.
Check each listing’s car condition report, PPSR check, and service record before making final decisions.
Apply for finance, if needed. You can pick it up from the hub or get it home delivered.
Don’t just look at the photos. Check tyre wear and full service history, especially on higher-kilometre or 7-seat models that tend to carry heavier loads over their life. If you’re looking at the HR-V Hybrid or the Model Y, ask about battery condition specifically; it matters more than the odometer reading. And if seven seats are the whole point of your purchase, physically check how much boot space is left with the third row up before you buy, not after.

It depends on your driving. A hybrid SUV like the HR-V e:HEV pays off fastest with regular stop-start city driving; if you're mostly on the highway, the fuel savings shrink and a well-priced petrol model may suit you better.
No, the opposite. Almost every current SUV listing is automatic, so an automatic SUV is the default, not something you need to hunt for.
The Kia Sorento and Toyota Kluger tend to offer more usable third-row space and boot room than smaller 7-seat options like the Outlander or CX-9, worth checking dimensions if you'll use all seven seats regularly.
Older Nissan Qashqai and Subaru Forester listings typically start around $13,000 - $14,000.
Depends what you need. The cheapest option gets you in the door, but spending a few thousand more on a newer model often buys meaningfully better safety features and lower running costs, worth weighing both.
Every Cars24 Select SUV comes with a 300-point inspection, a car condition report and a PPSR check completed before it's listed, rather than something you have to arrange yourself. That removes a lot of the guesswork involved in a private sale, particularly on higher-kilometre or 7-seat SUVs where hidden wear is more likely.
Service history, tyre wear and the PPSR check matter most. On hybrid or electric models, ask specifically about battery condition rather than relying on the odometer.
AWD adds real value if you regularly drive on unsealed roads, tow, or live somewhere with wet or icy conditions, but for mostly sealed-road city driving it mainly adds cost without much practical benefit. Front-wheel drive versions of the same model are usually cheaper to buy and run, so it's worth being honest about how and where you actually drive.
