Need an SUV

Hi all,

My friend's dad plans to buy an SUV.

Place - Kannur, Kerala.

Budget: 25L

Important criterias:

1. FE

2. 3rd row usage.

The car may not used very frequently and can even be in the garage for months.

Just a car for family outings.

Only option that came into my mind was Ford Endeavour. I couldn't find any which satisfied criterias 1 & 2.

Opinions please.

I feel that Pajero can be an another option that can be considered.

Even though the Engine is a tad old one, but the feel of the car is still amazing.

FE would not be more than 8-9 on diesel, while the third row should be comfortable.

Thanks Uneet.

Just took this comparison.

Pajero is underpowered in front of Endeavour.

His Dad has actually liked the car. Plus Kannur has a service center.

He just wants to lookout for more options.

no suv will give good FE. ....suv have heavy body and need more power to speed up..heard that honda might launch diesel crv this year...u can also go for chevrolet captiva...my friend recently bought and its a good diesel buy and FE he gets is 10kmpl. besides its 7 seaters and ok 3rd row legroom

I never meant it to have an FE of a car.

I meant good FE when compared to its peers. That is all.

Captiva design was not much liked and 3rd row was also an issue.

I did see an article about Honda CRV diesel. It will be a car to lookout.

For such limited use-why not something regular-like a safari/scorpio?

I did say that.

He wanted an 'SUV' which is one above Innova(MUV)/Safari/Scorpio.

u mentioned  one of important criteria as FE that is why i have metioned ....apart from that ford has huge maintenance issues and spare parts problem also...toyota might launch fortuner this year...it might be worth the wait

Maintenance would be just above Mitsubishi. So nothing much of a concern.

Spare parts - Any SUV in that class would have that problem.

Fortuner would be way out of budget. If I am not wrong.
