gunna be tough to get into a SUV for under 30K all in even a base FWD...and make sure you compare the base models feature for feature because not all base vehicles are created equal...cash rebates are not all that strong right now!
If your financing especially if your doing a longer term you would be wise to look at vehicles with zero percent financing, Honda,Toyota,Nissan all have cost of borrowing and could cost you an additional 1,000 to 4,000 just in finance charges....the Santa Fe and the Tucson both have zero percent up to 84 months...and they have a better warranty as well....
And if your paying cash then pre-owned would be worth looking at, financing not so much 25 grand at 5% for 84 months = a lot of interest
