Family Upgrade Recommendations
Hi everyone, help needed please.
We have a 7 month old baby and have decided we desperately need to upgrade from our 2019 grand i10, for space and safety.
We would be buying cash and top of the budget is 550k. The top priority is safety wanting a 5 star score. An SUV for space for the family. Reliability and durability wanting something we can drive for 15 years, but easy maintenance. As good fuel economy as reasonably possible, currently commuting PTA East to Randburg 2/3 times a week.
We do want leather seats and a rear camera.
Is a hybrid a good option or will that cost too much down the line with battery maintenance and replacement?
Currently have looked at the Corolla cross, but a bit worried about the high jack risk.
Do I look at that or a Chinese car new or something else second hand rather?
All help very appreciated.
