Considerations:
1. Budget is 1M ( 1.1M max)- Base model is 995K
2. Reliable and Fuel efficient - 1.6L VGT CRDi Diesel 128 hp * 4,000 rpm, 300 Nm * 1,750 rpm
3. At least 185mm ground clearance - only 160mm but light to drive, kind of like a sedan.
4. Easy to find parts - 5 year warranty or 160,000 Kms.
6. Can fit at least 4 people comfortably although I will be alone driving 80% of the time. Very roomy inside, you'd be surprised.
7. Has a large boot/rear storage capacity with 2nd row seats folded. If it can fit a 65" TV in a box thats great. -Rear folding seats, the rear boot sinks down so items don't slide out on their own.
8. No Rush/Expander types[emoji3] Totally agree with you here, avoid the headaches.
9. Comfortable to drive - Test drove one and it was like a roomier Jimny. Power steering is standard.
Just as suggestion because I had shortlisted this before I fell in love with it's elder sister, the Sporty.
Good hunting. Drive safe.
