We are looking at buying a SUV and are considering the following options within our budget.Our options are
1. Toyota Prado 2012
2. Mitsubishi Pajero 2012
3. Nissan Armada 2012
Toyota Prado 2012- the TXL scores over VX 'cos you can always get aftermarket GPS whachamacallit to spruce up your Prado TXL. Upper spec trims may be a waste of $$$.
Mitsubishi Pajero 2012- the 3.8 271 HP ranks higher over other Pajero variants and when compared against Prado & Armada, the Pajero may appear 'dated'
Armada? Isn't that in a different class to the other 2? Armada has a 5.6 V8 engine and is more suitable for a family car that only goes to the sand (beach, dunes, etc.) rarely or lightly. The Prado and Pajero both offer V6 engines with good (if not very good) off-road capabilities. The i4 Prado is not considered good due to lack of power. Both these V6 cars are quite reliable too (I don't know enough about the Armada, though) and can carry up to 7 people with the driver. Maintenance wise, Toyota and Nissan can be difficult due to the long queue at their service stations. Otherwise, you can try your luck with non-dealership service workshops. I'm sure there are a lot of good ones out there that can work on these three models. You can head to driverarabia dot com for more info on most cars.
In your list, Armada would be the favorite although Prado is not too bad either. But if you want the bestest SUV of all among the Japanese models, then my view is that it is the Nissan Patrol.
On the other hand if you want to buy a good SUV but still want to be green and go easy on the environment: then buy either a Prado with 2.7 litre engine or a Toyota Fortuner with the same 2.7 litre engine. The 2.7 engine in the Fortuner is cool on fuel and the car is a reasonably sturdy 4x4 and 7 seater.

If you have a big family, go for armada.
Re han19:
Armada is worth QAR 140-155k, while Prado is QAR 160-190k and Pajero is QAR 114-160k.
Re Choice of SUV
Prado > Pajero > Armada!
