Used SUV for ~10 lakhs

Greetings all! I currently have a Mondeo which I love and am very happy with. I am looking for a second vehicle (used), which needs to be an SUV for comfortable long distance travel with family and luggage. Our vacations tend to be in out of the way places which are sometimes are not accessible, and almost always very difficult to get to, by car. I had a Landcruiser 80 earlier and occasionally do go off-roading. Budget is 8-10L. Criteria for the SUV: Mandatory 1. Comfortable on Highway (cruise at 120+) and easy to drive in city (so full size SUV's are out) 2. 4WD 3. Low running cost 4. Good 2nd row space, back/thigh support 5. ABS and Airbags Good to have: 1. 3rd row seats 2. Hardcore 4WD capability (ladder chassis, low range etc) 3. Sunroof I have been looking at options and have shortlisted: 1. 05 Hyundai Terracan – 8L (+ve Spacious, capable 4WD, 3rd row seats, good engine –ve Out of production, unsettled suspension) 2. 98 Landcruiser Prado 90 – 9L (+ve Reliability, 3rd row seats, sunroof, 4WD capability –ve old tech engine, parts availability) 3. 07 Nissan x-trail – 10L (+ve v good engine, on road manners, mileage, sunroof –ve soft roader, expensive parts, no 3rd row) 4. 03 Grand Vitara XL-7 LPG – 5L (+ve price, maruti network, 3rd row seats –ve LPG, cramped seating, out of production, limited luggage space with LPG tank) I did look at the Safari but the build quality put me off. Scorpio was too cramped and 4wd was iffy. Endy was too big. Any thoughts or inputs on the above options? Any other choices? Gears, Red-One.
