I'm looking to replace my current vehicle (Renault Duster). It's old and is starting to give me expensive problems. I want a vehicle with decent ground clearance like most SUV's have. Even a cross model may work?

Price: max R400k (second hand with low mileage is ok)
As light as possible on fuel.
Must have an automatic variant.

Check out the chery tiggo 4 pro, 400k new top of the range. Best value for money in the segment.

 
I checked out a Chery Tiggo 4 pro with my dad in law. its incredible value for money, well made, comfy. I honestly cant find anything close to it. 5 Yr warranty and 10 yrs on the engine.

Its backed by SMG and is selling at such numbers, there will definately be a dealer network and backup probably better than Renault.
 
I'm also in the market for a new vehicle.
I'm driving a 2021 Honda B-rv

On my list of considerations:
-New Shape B-RV
-Suzuki Ertiga
-Haval H6
-Honda C-RV (theres a new model comming out though)
-toyota rush?

I'm out of Ideas. Currently I'm rooting for the Honda

I had a renault in the past. Had bad experiences when it came to after sales service aswell as technical problems so I'm avoiding it at all cost

Come to think of it I had not 1 single problem with the honda in 2 years.

-New Honda brv is too expensive unless you want a bottom of the range one.
-The ertiga is a model too low rather look at the vitara brezza it's exactly the same as the Toyota urban cruiser. Made in the same shop but those cars are noisy and slow.
-haval jolion is at the same level as the brv and the same price so it's expensive and thirsty but it's really nice.
-Cr-v is crazy expensive you are looking at a 5 year old car if you want a crv at 400k.
Honda wvr is just a high car, way too small.
-Kia sonet is a really nice car and the best looking in my opinion but then you are stuck with a 1.5l or a 1l turbo and both are slow. The hyundai venue has the same issue.
-Mahindra xuv300 has the power but a little boot.

I have just been through this so please go test drive them then go look at the chery tiggo 4 pro Elite SE. On a different level.

I would be interested to see where you land.

-My mind is still stuck on the Haval H6 luxury
-Honda B-rv
-Honda C-RV

I narrowed it down to those 3

I'm not a cherry tiggo or jolion dan tbh
 
I had a smaller budget of R250k and got myself a 2014 Volvo XC 90, 125000km. I'm super happy with the decision.

It isn't self driving or parking, and doesn't have a big flat infotainment system like some very recent cars but does so many things right. Plus loads of space, safety and comfort. At R400k you'll get something even better.

What's the mileage on your duster? I'm considering getting one myself.

Not sure about the OP, but my wife has a 2014 1.5dCi Duster (bought new). It has around 120 000 km and it has had no major mechanical issues.

I still believe it offers some of the best value for money.
