Best 4x4 for Doha conditions
We are weighing up a couple of car options and I'm keen to hear more from drivers of these cars, and their pros and cons.
Basically we're tossing up between the new Jeep Cherokee and the new Volvo XC60.
Other than the fact that the Volvo is more expensive, which is the better car for Doha?
The heat, the safety, resale value, value for money, service and parts, etc?
murano is best value of money
nissan murano is good choice, its 3.5 v6 and very much comfortable.
music system is best, all murano comes with bose system.
have automatic + triptonic transmition, many more options.
you can not get this quality and this much options in any other car within the same price of murano.
absolutely you cant buy a 4X4 in this year.. if u read these comnts
Suzuki Alto....
Armored vehicles and tanks are perfect for Doha conditions. (Also useful in Bahrain).
He looks for "Doha conditions."
are you looking for off road driving?
honda pilot
TATA trucks are good. Engines are licensed by Mercedes.
Still Toyota cars are okey....price,resale,service ...
Of the two the Cherokee would be best for what you want. Land Cruiser is the best in terms of performance, but generally Toyota servicing in Qatar is terrible. The new Nissan Patrols have become popular recently, since the security and police forces starting switching to them. They might be worth a look.
Between those two you mentioned,go for the Jeep Cherokee over the Volvo.
get a prado or a murano...
iF u wanna get On d dune easily....Power Wise - Toyota Fj Cruiser, Jeep Cherokee ,toyota cruiser pikup(trust me dey r really powerfull) ROxxxx.......

nd rest i dun thinkk u shuld go fr ne oder 4X4
resale wise- toyota land cruiser,fj cruiser,nissan patrol r gud
Kia.its 4x4 alright.all 4 wheels moving at the same time.Especially on sand its pretty fast.Now you see it now you don't (coz it sank in the sand).
I'd go for a Range Rover Vogue
I wonder why there is no Land Rover or Rangers were not mentioned? They are one of the best 4x4 ever built.
Sorry I havent used one but thats what I have heard of...
Yes Nissan Patrols are quiet populor in the middle east market cause its works fine in sand dunes...
Would like to here more from rest.
cheers
Go for the Volvo..
better build quality and safety.
BEST 4X4 ARE GMC DENALI, NISSAN PATROL, TOYOTA LANDCRUISER YES AND ALSO VOLVO.
NISSAN PATROL AT THE TOP!
If u think about comfortable and reliable SUV,my opinion is Toyota Land cruiser.V8 land cruiser(UZJ 100 0R new UZJ 200 OR latest URJ 200 are having good stability on the roads even in high speeds.
If u think about low cost of maintenance Prado is the best.Anyhow you will not have a headache when you are going to sale your car in future,if u have a toyota car.
good day..!
Go for Toyota Prado or Nissan Pathfinder
Cheers...
As muich as I hate big SUVs...Go drive a new land cruiser. Itll make the volvo look like it was made by kindergarten kids.
Land cruisers are perfect for the country in general and especially for the weather thats coming up.
They are built like a tank. Very comfortable and safe for both long distance and city driving, huge cargo space, service and parts are cheap and resale is amazing.
Volvos are cute little cars, you can buy one for the wife to run around town in.
I would say Jeep Cherokee any day, because they were build to go off road. No doubt!!!
For some reason, the people of Doha think that Nissan and Toyota make cars, and every other manufacturer makes wheelbarrows with engines... meaning that unless it's a jap car, no one else will buy it after you.
For your question... the Volvo by a mile.
It is comfortable, will last, the warranty is great, it's luxurious, drives well, and the interior is plush and refined. The other car is just an American thing that uses the same technology as the very first Jeeps manufactured 50 years ago... very little refinement or development. It is corse, uneconomical, and a barge to drive (literally, as it uses a truck chassis, as opposed to the Volvo that actually uses a car chassis).
So, the question is, do you want to drive your car for at least 3 to 5 years and sell it for nothing, a car which you will enjoy driving and be kept quite safe in...
or is it a financial investment, you want something back on it, and which you may kill you if you crash it (look at a picture of a landcruiser after a crash) (may Allah protect us all)...
Answer to the former question: VOLVO
Answer to the latter: The emotionless NISSOYTA.
(Notice how Jeep isn't mentioned!!!)
:)
toyota prado
go for nissan xterra or pathfinder murano is amazing from inside and is fast onroad prado is very nice on and offroad
My first option is Toyota Land Cruiser have good resale value.
My second option is GMC Acadia.
Landcruiser Prado x
well volvo just forget even if it was safe the parts are way expensive than audi or bmw and resale value is zero no one buys used volvo although the car is good but no idea of ac,but for an advise japanese are good here and some german cars keep away of american cars ac is very week and resale value weak also .u can watch on the streets the most cars are the most usefull and parts price are cheap.
sad to say, but for that criteria go for the absolute basic land cruiser.
