Yeah, but bulletproof
True. Good for some overlanding. But the current Pajero is really a 15 year old design with some bling added. Wouldn't want one as my regular transport.

What about a Touareg? I don't think anyone's mentioned that yet.
Ground clearance is 220mm (default, can be raised). Plenty of 2nd hand, year-old models with low KMs that come in below your budget. The 3.0L V6 TDi is 180kW and 550Nm. Combined usage figure of 7.4.
Quite schmexy too, I reckon. Much better looking than the Sante Fe, interior and exterior. To me anyway.

The cheapest model is packing a 600 000+ price tag.

Which is why I specifically mentioned 2nd hand.
Saw those new prices and went :wtf:. 2nd hand some schmo already took the biggest knock and you'll likely get some extras, too.

No you do not want a second hand Touareg...the last version of this car was horrible and definitely not worth the price when you can get a new jeep for the same money. That said, the new Touareg is brilliant. Weird for VW to price a car higher than an Audi equivalent.

Q7 starts at R700k+...

But the year old ones (2012 models, could be Nov/Dec) are the "new shape", so it's fine.
And I'd take a Touareg over any Jeep pretty much any day of the week. Not that I don't like Jeep, Wranglers are awesome, and Grand Cherokees.

Okay. You asked for it.
Saw this a while back, but wasn't going to post it, as it is the 2014 Grand (not available locally yet).

Ya, very nice car, but that front-end.

It's extremely small, even smaller in real life than what i looks in pictures. Not sure if you can compare it to the bigger cars you have listed.
True. Will have to check it out and make a call...
Dont think the Lexus RX has been mentioned, may not be a looker to some but Lexus is short of nothing featurewise but that damn ground clearance at 185mm, now just go get a Wrangler

A little insight goes a long way
The product page doesn't mention a comprehensive maintenance plan (only warranty and service plan), and you will undoubtedly be offered one for an extra ~R20k when they quote you.

Oi! Leave me out of this...
I would second the options of waiting a lil bit and get the Disco 4... its a massive upgrade over the Disco3, and with the coilover suspension they're apparently epic Offroad with practically no issues.
I would avoid the Evoque if you are looking for a 7 seater... they can barely take 4 average height adults.
Of course you could slum it like the rest of us, get yourself a Defender 90, spice it up for your offroad adventures and have a decent saloon for every day driving
