Can you recommend a punchy petrol SUV?

I'm looking for a secondhand SUV for around £20k that does good mpg and probably petrol as I no longer do the miles for a diesel. It must have some punch. What do you recomend?

We'd be looking for a high-spec Kia Sportage with the T-GDi petrol engine. GT-Line models are very well equipped while the turbocharged petrol has plenty of performance. Your budget will get you a nearly-new model with plenty of its seven-year warranty remaining. If you'd prefer something more premium, consider an Audi Q2 with the 1.4 TFSi engine.
