Used cars of the week: baby SUVs from 7500

As the temperature drops and winter fast approaches, now is a good time to consider something with four-wheel drive to help keep you on the road as the driving conditions become more difficult.

There's a variety of four-wheel-drive SUVs available on the used market; you can even pick one up for less than £15,000.

Here's our pick of the best we've found in the What Car? Approved Used classifieds:

Fiat Panda 4x4

The Fiat Panda 4x4 is not fast but it will get you anywhere you want to go, thanks to its low weight and its four-wheel-drive system. This model has done just 4000 miles and is the cheapest SUV on sale in the What Car? classifieds at £7495. The running costs will be low, too, as it averages 42.8mpg.
