Starting a new thread to solicit further inputs. What are the best buy models in this price category? The topic on 1.5m- 1.6m provided good feedback so I decided to start another topic.
Based on owner requirements, below are some options.
Space (no nonsense family hauler) - Innova
7-seater SUV - Montero Sport (non VGT)
With Offroad capability - Ranger
Features and Tech goodies - TOTL Focus
AWD crossover - Subaru XV
Daily drive family car - any of the compacts (depends on owner preferences and budget)
