My father-in-law is in the market for a new vehicle to replace his aging Adventure. He was initially eyeing the new X-Trail, but decided against it since it does not have diesel and M/T. My wife suggests the Tucson, but it only seats 5 and the base CRDi variant is only available in A/T. So what else is out there? We're looking for other choices based on the following non-negotiables:
Budget: 1.3M - 1.4M
Mandatories: Diesel, M/T, can seat 7, third-row seatbelts (not lapbelts)
The most probable choice at the moment is the Montero Sport 4X2 M/T because of the looks and the ride quality, but he's somewhat concerned that the bigger tires might affect fuel consumption. Plus, my in-laws aren't too keen on vans (since they don't want to be 'conscripted' into ferrying relatives at events), and no Fortuners either, since an uncle already owns one.
