Good afternoon all. Please a family friend (woman 45+) is interested in any good Hyundai SUV (below 3.7m) with her primary considerations being;
RELIABILITY, DURABILITY & PARTS AVAILABILITY.
Kindly recommend a good one with year of production.
Thanks.

go to jiji or olx input Hyundai Tucson or ix35 then pick model years that work within your price range.

for the Tucson 2010 upwards

for ix35 I think production started 2012

I don't know whether the Hyundai creta falls within your budget

Please someone should explain Differences between Mercedes models.

Please someone should explain Differences between Mercedes models.
Right now.

A Class: FWD Sedan/Hatch
B Class: FWD Hatch
CLA Class: FWD Coupe-like sedan.
C Class: RWD compact sedan.
E Class: RWD mid-size sedan. This is where true Mercedes begins.
CLS Class: RWD mid-size coupe-like sedan.
S Class: RWD full-size sedan. Mercedes flagship.

For SUVs.
GLA: A Class SUV
GLB: B Class SUV
GLC (previously GLK): C Class SUV
GLE (previously ML): E Class SUV
GLS (previously GL): S Class SUV.
G Wagon: Off-road/luxury rugged SUV.

All RWD models have multiple AMG models.
AMG is Mercedes' performance arm. Similar to Dodge's SRT, BMW's M Power, Audi's RS, and Cadillac's V branches.

C43: Twin Turbo V6
C63/C63S: Twin Turbo V8
E43: TT V6
E53: TT i6
E63: TT V8
CLS53: TT i6
CLS63: TT V8
S63: TT V8
S65: TT V12 (The king of the lineup)

FWD models
A35, A45
CLA35, CLA45

Other models
CLK - C/E Class hybrid coupe, replaced by the E Class Coupe
SLK (replaced by the SLC) - Roadster
CL - S Class Coupe
SL - Top tier Coupe/Roadster


SUV models are styled similarly.

The CLA and A Class are...not truly Mercedes. They are, but not really. They're for those who want the badge without the actual engineering. The C Class is much better, but it's from the E Class upwards that you get the full, actual Mercedes heritage.

"Mercedes starts with an E".

AMG models only have two numbers: 35, 45, 43, 53, 63, 65. There's nothing like a C300 AMG. Anyone with such a badge should be drawn and quartered.

Corolla is the safer option. Everyone owns one.

The Civic is the better car, though.

I believe most K series engines share accessories. Other parts should bolt in from the regular Civic apart from brakes, I think.

They're essentially the same car.

Buy the ZDX if you like the styling and for swagger points.
Buy the MDX for practicality and to save money.

thanks boss man... but I really have this question I wanting clarification on... why it's dat the ZDX is kinda expensive dat the MDX in Nigeria.. even the adverts on the ZDX here on Nairaland, and other car selling website like cheki and jiji they have been even priced as high as 10m even 12m naira... lowest range I have since is between 4.5 to 5mil why is dat sir...

meanwhile the MDX like from the 2007 to 2014/15 models (which I actually prefer for their ZDX ish like design to the older models) most goes for between 4 to 5/6 million for its highest price (though I stand to be corrected)...

is there like a special reason or something...

thanks man
