Thats the reason i preferred to stay away. BTW you will get all the info in any automag. The info alone would fill up 2 pages or even more!

 

[Ichimaru]

ok. will do that. Actually where i am right now its a bit difficult to get any auto mag so posted here.
anyway, if its not a big problem kindly mention the suv's you would prefer at all the price points and reasons for choosing it.

 

[Ichimaru]

OK people. Forget the more expensive ones. If possible give me info of SUV's sub 30L as soon as possible.
Your preferences and reasons for it.
thanks in advance

SUVs below 30L:

1) Chevy captiva: 22-23 laks on-road

+ Spacious
+ Feature list in automatic variant
+ ride quality
+ cabin

- Gearshift
- GM's A.S.S

2) Ford Endeovour: 19-22 L


+ Street Presence
+ torquey 3.0 ltr engine
+ features

- no manual in 3.0 variant
- uncomfortable rear seat
- bumpy ride due to archaic leaf spring setup in rear

3) Honda CRV: 27-30 L

+ Interiors
+ Handling when compared to SUVs!
+ Honda's finesse!

- Only petrol engine
- hard ride
- Expensive for what it offers

4) Maruti Grand Vitara: 20-22 L

+ Decent off roader
+ Good VFM if you ignore maruti tag

- Bad FE
- only petrol engine
- low on features
- cabin similar to cheaper swift & SX4

5) Mitsubishi Outlander: 23 L

+ Impressive feature list

6) Nissan X Trail: 27-32L

+ Awesome engine & gearbox
+ Great cabin
+ Spacious & comfortable seats

- Nissan's service network

7) Toyota Fortuner: 23 L

+ supremely reliable
+ performance

- interiors too much like innova

- bouncy ride

My pick is the Chevy Captiva.

thanks for the reply.
do any of these has cruise control and/or bluetooth?

 

[Marun]

Mitsubishi Outlander has the cruise control. Not sure about the others.

 

[raj_5004]

If you need Cruise control, the only option below 30L is Outlander & Scorpio.

 

[Ichimaru]

Fortuner doesnt have cruise control?
and does any has bluetooth?

 

[raj_5004]

No cruise control in fortuner. Scorpio has Bluetooth, no idea about others.

 

[Ichimaru]

Can you please throw some light on the positives and negatives of Scorpio?

 

[raj_5004]

Scorpio:

+ Very responsive engine
+ Good refinement & NVH
+ Strong Build
+ Reliability as compared to Tata
+ VFM considering top end scorpio for 10.8 lakhs has 2 airbags, ABS, bluetooth, cruise control, Auto wipers, auto headlights, reverse sensors, 4WD etc. thats almost everything you had asked for in your post.

Thank you very much raj.

+1 to Raj's compilation. That would be my reply too. But finally i prefer the Fortuner as Toyota's reliability is better compared to Chevy's though Fortuner does not have impressive features and interiors!
