Best EX- UK SUV’s for East African Terrain

 When it comes to horsepower and towing capacity needed, think about where you will be driving your SUV and the weather conditions you may encounter. If mountain roads and muddy trails are in your future, 4-wheel or all-wheel drive might be crucial. Many people shy away from SUV’s citing costs. However, there are quite affordable and powerful SUV’s from the UK.
Here is a list of the affordable top 5 SUV’s for East African terrain.
1. Toyota Land cruiser

To float over the worst trails, the Toyota uses plush-riding independent front and coil-long solid axle rear suspension engineered for increased articulation. The basis of that system comes from Toyota’s Kinetic Dynamic Suspension, which automatically allows for more suspension movement in slow-speed, off-road conditions, then tighten up as it senses lean at higher road speeds. It’s brilliant.

A 2010 used EX UK Toyota Land cruiser goes for around £26,000. A new 2017 model on the other had goes for £45,000

2. Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is the premiere vehicle in their lineup, and the Overland model promises to retain the Jeep 4×4 spirit by combining off-road prowess with excellent drive ability and comfort.

Powered by a base 184-horsepower 2.4 liter four-cylinder or a 271-horsepower 3.2 liter V6, and a 4×2 or 4×4 drivetrain setup. The Active Drive II four-wheel drive system allows for selectable terrain which adjusts to the slick, sticky, or deep stuff you might find yourself in.

3. Dacia Duster
The Dacia Duster doesn’t feature the same fancy electronic systems as upmarket rivals but its decent ground clearance and lightweight body means the Duster can easily negotiate the odd dirt track and slippery field. Thanks to a reasonably efficient 1.5 litrediesel engine, some models should prove cheap to run, too.
Its cabin is fairly roomy and the Duster serves up an impressive 475-litre boot – more than you’d find in the bigger SUV’s.

4. Jeep Renegade

The Jeep Renegade is a hugely capable off-roader. Steer clear of entry-level two-wheel drive versions and this tough-looking family car can happily keep up with the larger Grand Cherokee on a tricky off-road trail.
The interior has ample room for five people and their luggage and a wealth of rugged design touches and chunky details to keep your passengers interested.

5. Suzuki Vitara

Its small size and good ground clearance mean it can hold its own in the rough stuff. If you’re serious about taking your Vitara into the wild, however, you’ll need to pick a top-spec car with all-wheel drive.

For a car that’s no bigger than some hatchbacks, there’s loads of space for a growing family – the 375-litre boot is well shaped and can easily hold a week’s worth of holiday luggage. It’s also cheap to run.
