Best 4X4 under Rs 20 lakh

I want to buy a comfortable and reliable 4x4 within Rs 20 lakh. No AWD please. I was considering the Isuzu D-Max V-Cross, but the new 1.9 Auto, even though exciting, is expensive.

AAA - The best full-time 4x4s are the Fortuner and Endeavour, but they are way beyond your budget. The V-Cross is more affordable no doubt but still goes beyond your budget and is a bit basic. Your best option really is the Mahindra Scorpio 4x4, as it fits your budget. Alternatively, you could wait for the new Mahindra Thar, which will be the most capable 4x4 for the money and will be well within your budget.
