4x4 Recommendation

[pb41]

If crash safety is a high priority then perhaps it would be better to avoid vehicles with a ladder frame chassis like the Fortuner, Everest, Amarok, etc and consider only SUV's and 4 x 4's with a unibody construction. The unibody chassis absorb impacts much more safely and predictably than a bakkie based chassis.

VW = excellent, hijack / theft risk so very high premiums

HUH? Polo's get stolen or hijacked. Where in the world does Amarok(or any other VW except Polo) have high premiums and have high risk?

Izuzu Dmax
Isuzu MUX

They are super reliable. affordable to maintain. They drive softer than any bakkie. They are super capable on and off road. They dont get stolen, so insurance is great.

Once you drive Isuzu you wont look back

Nope, he referenced a '22 one, those are still VW VW ones.

I'm looking to upgrade from a family SUV with AWD to a 4x4.

Staying in gauteng, I am cautious of a double cab bakkie due to the high theft risk and insurance premiums - but I'd be interested in your opinions/experiences on the matter.

I have looked at a 2022 Pajero Sport 2.4D Exceed, but was a bit underwhelm compared to my 10 year old Kia Sorento. Interior and features felt very similar.

NCAP safety is high on my list of requirements as is reliability.

whats ur budget ?

Mahindra scorpio N ?
