Thanks for the suggestions sir.

However, she currently drives a hatchback and we've decided to get her something bigger and with a higher ground clearance for that additional peace of mind specially during the rainy season.

As for the Innova, I don't like how it looks (let's leave it at that so we don't offend any owner who might be reading this )

We've already ruled out bigger SUVs like the models you mentioned models since she finds them too big and cumbersome to drive daily.
