Vitara GLX vs Kona vs Civic 1.8E CVT

[Egan101]

Sad reality is that these small crossovers/MPVs don't match up to the capabilities of the higher tier CUVs. Most of them are not even within the ride quality of compact cars.

If opting for a capable crossover with a limited budget, same as Jut, go with the Forester base model (2.0i-L). Its discounted price of 1.3M+ is a worthy proposition. You get lots of space, ground clearance, decent handling, AWD capability, and world-class safety features.

If really sticking with a 1.1M budget, you get a much better ride overall with an Altis or Civic.
