As with the small SUVs, the top spot among the family SUVs went to the car whose owners (and What Car? readers) had not reported a single defect in the last year. The current petrol-powered BMW X1 followed the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross with a score of 98.4 per cent. BMW had problems with its bodywork, navigation and interior design. With the third Hyundai Tucson (97.8 per cent), some faults with its engine electrical parts, battery and fuel system were reported.
The least reliable family SUVs
At the other end of the table is the current Range Rover Evoque, the Jaguar E-Pace and the last generation Evoque again. The latter ranked last with a rating of 77.1 per cent, with problems in the battery, bodywork, navigation or non-engine electrical components. Most of them spent more than a week in the workshop. Nearly half of all E-Paces also broke down, with bodywork, navigation, or the engine in up to 11 per cent of cases. The current Evoque is most commonly found with electrical problems.
