Buyers want roomy cabins, flexible seating and advanced safety systems as electric SUVs gain appeal for lower running costs, manufacturers said.
Scottish families are increasingly choosing SUVs for staycations and road trips, with destinations like the Cairngorms and Isle of Skye driving demand for vehicles that prioritize practicality and comfort.

With smartphones and tablets now common travel companions, reliable in-car technology has become essential rather than a luxury. Families expect Safety features including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and emergency braking systems.
Beyond environmental benefits, electric SUVs offer lower running costs and reduced maintenance, making them an increasingly practical choice for family motoring across Scotland.
