It is that time again when we recommend 5 cars to buy. This time, it is SUVs under AED 150,000.
Recently released in the market, the Toyota Fortuner is the best bang for your buck in this price range. The Fortuner has is a very well know automobile for offroading and has proved itself time and again in the deserts of UAE. And, with the newest rendition tested earlier by us, it goes to show that Fortuner is here to stay. Moreover, with the new styling, it looks better and has a much better interior as well. Also, it seats 7 people so it is a steal.

If you’re not looking for hardcore offroading and instead require comfort on road with the ability to take the car into wadis for picnic and family time then check out the Nissan Pathfinder. The Pathfinder was once upon a time synonymous with offroading but with the new generation, it has become a city vehicle which offers comfort over hard suspension. So, if that’s your lifestyle then do give it a shot.

The Honda Pilot is the direct competitor to the Nissan Pathfinder and has more or less the same features in terms of power and interior comfort. Honda only recently announced the new Pilot and I for one believe that it is a welcome change because the previous one looked highly outdated and was in dire need of a refresh.

If Japanese is not your cup of tea then why not look into the American brands. Ford also has the direct competitor to the Pathfinder and Pilot and it is called the Explorer. The Explorer has been around for quite a while and it is highly popular here. And, with the new 2016 facelift, it looks new on the road as well. The best part however is the EcoBoost engine that really impressed everyone.
Lastly, it is time for the Korean offering. The Grand Santa Fe is very much a city car that can seat 7 passengers with ease and offers Korean technology and comfort in return. The Grand Santa Fe is a rare car on the UAE roads which can be its USP if exclusivity is what you’re looking for.
