Oh yea Toyota sequoia is out there too . I just kinda think most Toyota interiors are so basic and boring . Maybe is just me though

Nightshift: Personally,anything that doesn't look and drive like BMW X5 isn't a real SUV.Is there any SUV made for Nigerian roads?

LeJeun3: Not all 4wd are SUV. Abeg all this hype about Honda CR-V is overrated, its just a Compact Recreational Vehicle(http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CR-V). No body has included d all mighty Ford products (Escape, Expedition) or Range Rover or Land Rover Discovery series(they r good).

Gentleman8888: Hello Guys which of these SUV's are good for naija roads and not too high with maintenance but still stand out. Thanks as you contribute.

1...... Land Rover 3 ( lr3)

2...... Toyota Highlander

3...... Dodge Journey

4...... Acura MDX

6...... Jeep Grand Cherokee

bro, once you are here on the ground...some of the roads are so bad, it would not make a difference which one of those you use...give it 3 or more months...and it will be a wreck!

true talk live from the soil this minute...

7...... Toyota Sequoia

8...... Nissan Armada

9...... Toyota FJ cruiser

Many Thanks

kukus01: why buy suv? get a truck mate! honda ridgeline luxury+durability+ruggeddness!!! talking from experience....ridgeline all the way for me

oraclefemi: HONDA RIDGELINE..I USE ONE AND I CAN TELL YOU I DO WHAT OTHER JEEPS CANT DO.

Gentleman8888: all contributions are appreciated. Including the jokes.

So far seems the choice is going between Toyota Highlander, Lexus GX 470, Range Rover Sport or Acura MDX.[i][/i]

by the way its meant to be sold after my departure so practically will be used for less than a month . So a quick sale would be ideal as well in the consideration.

once again. Thanks everyone. You have been very helpful

platinumricky:
1...... Land Rover 3 ( lr3)- the LR3 would hv won my vote if not for its reliability issues and pricey repair costs.

2...... Toyota Highlander- this cross-over is loosely based on the camry sedan and is just as reliable. front-wheel drive variants are best avoided due to the state of our roads.

3...... Dodge Journey- i doubt if chrysler's dodge division has a strong presence here, finding parts might be an issue here. Its good looking though.

4...... Acura MDX- this is just a re-skinned honda pilot with an upscale interior and an acura badge. Running costs are reasonable. Its a road-biased suv so off-roading is outta the question. My 2nd pick of the bunch.

6...... Jeep Grand Cherokee- i wonder which model year U̶̲̥̅̊ hv in mind, the latest generation (which shares its platform with the New benz ML) is good looking inside and out, and is a competent offroader. It might have d same issues with the dodge journey in nigeria.
7...... Toyota Sequoia- toyota's biggest SUV,its let down by its 4wd system.which is not as sophisticated as the landcruiser's and cheap looking interior. Parking it will be a chore..and running costs won't come cheap on this one.

8...... Nissan Armada- the 1st generation Infiniti Qx56 is a rebadged variant with a better looking interior. this V8 Powered behemoth has surprisingly gud handling dynamics. The interior could hv been better though. Reliability might be an issue to contend with as well (especially on the early production variants)

9...... Toyota FJ cruiser- shares the same platform with the 4runner,tacoma,landcruiser prado/Lexus GX,toyota fortuner and Hilux. Its offroad credentials are very good. But the oddball interior/exterior design won't appeal to every1, i particularly dislike the interior.

Recommendation: After considering the challenging state of our roads, truck based SUVs with live Axles such as the Lexus GX and 4Runner are better off here. The Lexus Gx has a better interior while d 4runner's looks rugged- the lexus will also appeal to the badge conscious snobs.
