4x4 La Azucarera — todoterrenos y SUV

Used SUVs and 4x4s for Benalmádena's hills

Benalmádena is really three places to drive in: the coast and the marina, Arroyo de la Miel with its everyday traffic, and the old village further up. What they share is gradient. If you live on one of the hillside developments, you want a car that pulls away on a slope without effort and brakes confidently on the way down. We are in Málaga, close by on the motorway, so you can come and try one before you decide.

Driving in Benalmádena: everything is uphill or downhill

What defines driving in Benalmádena is the gradient. Between the coast and the village, and above all on the developments climbing the slopes towards Calamorro, there are streets steep enough to feel in the engine and the brakes, tight hairpins and sharply angled garage entrances. A small, low-powered car with a manual gearbox struggles here once it is loaded with the family or the weekly shop.

So rather than four-wheel drive, we usually suggest a compact SUV with an engine that is not working at its limit, an automatic gearbox and hill-start assist. If your drive is unmade or gets very wet in winter, a modern all-wheel-drive SUV gives you peace of mind without a big jump in fuel bills. And if you live near the sea, look underneath any car you view: salty air is hard on mountings and exhausts, and it is one of the first things we check.

  • A compact automatic SUV with an engine that has something in reserve. The automatic saves the clutch on the ramps, and hill-start assist helps at every uphill stop. Four-wheel drive is only needed if the last stretch to your house is dirt, or concrete that turns slippery in the rain.
