Alfpoon Clutched May 9, 2008 Author Share May 9, 2008 the 7 seater SUV market in singapore seems limited...i guess with the petrol prices going so high, it will be expensive to maintain SUVs and MPVs. sometimes i wonder if it is cheaper to have 2 small reliable cars instead...like a perodua(daihatsu with toyota engine at proton price). what do you guys think? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum 5th Gear March 11, 2014 Share March 11, 2014 Thanks for consolidating... Anyone know of others apart from the below? 1. Fortuner 2. Sante Fe 3. Chev Captiva 4. Mit Outlander ( 7 seater option ) 5. Audi Q7 6. Volvo XC90 7. Subaru Tribeca 8. BMW X5 9. Jeep Commander 10. Land Rover Discovery 3 11. Ssangyong Rexton 12. Mitsubishi Pajero 13. Daihatsu Terio 14. Honda Crossover 15. Ford Territory 16. Honda MDX--Singapore not available 17. Hyundai Terracan 18. Lexus LX470--Singapore not available 19. Mercedes GL 20. Nissan Pathfinder--Singapore not available 21. Nissan Patrol (9 seats)--Singapore not available 22. Toyota Kluger 23. Toyota Landcruiser Prado 24. Toyota Landcruiser 100(9 seats) Ideally it should be something that's available or coming to Singapore... Guess high fuel consumption and usually higher cc is the main deterent. The fun factor of a SUV with the seating capacity of an MPV(note:not space) is something perhaps a certain group of young families look for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

comegetme 2nd Gear March 20, 2014 Share March 20, 2014 (edited) can any bros from here advise why most nowadays suvs are FWD but not AWD answer is simple... like many (including myself), i want a suv-looking suv. but i dont need the offroading capablilities. so if i can get the FWD option that is cheaper, i will certainly go for it. understand now?

Holdenutessv Turbocharged March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 (edited) can any bros from here advise why most nowadays suvs are FWD but not AWD Many people buy SUV just because of the looks and the taller ride height. FWD saves petrol and build cost compared to AWD. Lesser components to go wrong as well. There's no snow and paved roads are everywhere, therefore FWD is good enough for most people. So that's why you see lots of FWD SUV. Edited March 21, 2014 by Holdenutessv Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 can any bros from here advise why most nowadays suvs are FWD but not AWD Becoz full time AWD or 4WD will burn out all 4 of your tires on tarmac(that's when you are driving on normal roads and not doing off roading). I was warned when I did my crosscountry orientation back in NS. I had never experienced it happening. It's always bias with most power transmitted either on the rear wheels or front wheels. Eg. 70% power going to the rear and 30% front. Most AWD system will only transmit more power/torque to the one or more wheels when it's detected "slipping" or no traction. Not all AWD or 4WD are made equal. Some are made believe while some are more hardcore. You just got to see what kinda system it's used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soya Supersonic March 24, 2014 Share March 24, 2014 a newbie question, what is different of AWD and 4WD? To cut a long story short: AWD - 'always on' and power is auto transfer to/out of the wheels wif the most grip/least grip. More for SUVs for light off road work or simply better grip on road. Think Audi Quattro or Subaru Asymmetrical Drive. 4WD - Diff lock selectable n used for more slippery, off-road stuff. Think Land Rover or Jeep.
