Okay, it’s not an SUV, but the Ranger Wildtrak earns a spot thanks to its immense practicality for families who prefer a dual-cab ute. Its part-time 4x4 system, 2.0L Bi-Turbo (or optional 3.0L V6 diesel) engine and 3500kg towing capacity make it perfect for caravans, boats and off-road holidays.
Trail Turn Assist gives sharper manoeuvrability on tight tracks, while the cabin feels surprisingly premium with dual-zone climate control, heated eight-way adjustable front seats and a large 12-inch touchscreen. The Wildtrak blends rugged capability with comfort, making it a strong family holiday contender for outdoor-loving Aussies.
Whether you’re tackling winding coastal roads or heading off the beaten track, the RAV4, Subaru Outback, CX-5, Kia Sportage, and Prado offer the perfect mix of space, comfort, and versatility for your holiday road trips. With features like advanced safety systems, roomy interiors, and tech to keep everyone entertained, these family SUVs help to make every journey smoother, more enjoyable, and packed with memorable moments.
