Kia ora. Can you recommend a few SUV 4WD options, budget 35k. Looking for something that is also economical, petrol, automatic.

No problem ,we're happy to offer some advice, but could you let us know whether you are needing a large or small SUV, 5 or 7 seats, requirement for towing or not, new or used and any other requirements etc?

Thanks. 2014 or 2009 model or later. 7 seater, not so much for the seats but because of bigger boot size, but 5 seater option is ok. Towing is not a must.

OK, so I'll assume you're considering one of the smaller SUV/Crossover vehicles?
There are so many of these on the market, and in this price can range from good used models to a couple of the entry-level new vehicles.
As far as new or very nearly new vehicles go, your budget is likely to get you a new Mitsubishi ASX or Nissan Qashqai. You could also look at very late model Kia Sportage or Hyundai ix35.
In the used vehicle range, you'd get a Mazda CX-5, Honda CRV or Toyota RAV4 (perhaps a year or so old).
All of these vehicles would be good options - all with good reputations for safety and reliability.
Once you have taken a look at this list, feel free to get back to us if I've misunderstood your requirements.
