But i agree with the recommendation that the if budget is restricted, then innova might be the better choice if closer to the price point of rush with some creature comforts. The base mux is practically bare so that might be a deal breaker when some expected basic things are stripped out.

If test drive is possible, it might be best to do that.

If your mileage per year is also due to a lot of highway driving, innova or mux will be the better choice, not only for diesel, but better transmission, greater efficiency on the highway and less constrained by an anemic gasoline engine when loaded.

My two cents.

Good luck in the purchase TS.

Edit: the rubber on the innova would also be cheaper to replace per set compared to the mux when it comes to maintenance, especially given your annual distance covered.

At 30k kms per year, the mux rubber might last you max 2 years, the rush, max 1 year (maybe 1.25 years as those non 8 ply street tires usually last 30k kms to 35k kms.. Depends on what your will comes with), the innova should last about 40k kms (if im not mistaken. I cant remember how many kms our old innova tires lasts before replacing).
7km/l is a conservative assumption only, if it gets even worse mileage, that further strengthens my point of going diesel.

If it's strictly Rush or Mu-X, then Mu-X. From what I understand, he wants the SUV look hence these two.

It's just so hard to recommend the Mu-X base cos there's the Innova. Imagine Mu-X getting DRLs and 8" touchscreen, but no power side mirrors nor rear windshield wiper.
