Best practical AWD SUV for mountain trips - need real user experiences
Which AWD/4x4 SUV makes the most sense for regular Himalayan trips?
Planning frequent trips to Himachal and Uttarakhand, so I need something reliable in slush and steep climbs, but not as hardcore as a Thar. Budget is flexible, but looking for the sweet spot between comfort and capability. Main use will be highway cruising with occasional rough patches. My Duster AWD served well earlier - wondering if these newer options are significantly better?

I'm planning some major camping trips next year and need a capable SUV that can handle everything. Looking for something that won't struggle on rough terrain, can carry my mountain bikes on top, and has space for camping gear. Budget is flexible up to ₹15 lakh. I've narrowed it down to these four, but torn between the Thar's capability and Duster's practicality. What would you choose for serious adventure use?
I recently test drove a friend's old Duster and was impressed by how solid it felt compared to newer cars. With the new Duster coming soon, I'm curious how it'll stack up against today's safety-focused SUVs. Looking for opinions on which SUV in this price range feels the most robust and secure - especially important given our road conditions and highway speeds.
Thinking about fan following and community support around these popular SUVs. The Thar has that off-road cult status, Jimny's got the quirky appeal, Scorpio-N is the family favorite, and Fortuner remains the aspirational choice. Which one do you think has people who are absolutely crazy about their vehicle? Want to see what everyone feels about these iconic models.
