1. The cheapest of Sport Utility Vehicles

The list of vehicles classified as Sport Utility Vehicles or SUVs for less than 25,000 euros MSRP in our country is long. We have chosen four very different alternatives. The first of our protagonists is the Dacia Duster, one of the ‘pumps’ trade in the past two years, so that claims to be the best selling model so far in 2011 in Spain.
