If you are planning for Himachal, Srinagar or Leh ladakh trip then best SUV are listed below and few checkpoints.

1. Toyota Fortuner Self Drive – Toyota Fortuner name is enough best SUV for hilly areas, Its 2WD and 4WD both are best for hilly area specially Lahul Spiti, Leh Ladakh. Car that will never let you down.Only thing to keep in mind use of clutch plate and warm car 10 minutes before journey start.
2. Ford Endeavour Self Drive – Ford Endeavout 4×4 Automatic or manual both suited for Leh Ladakh trip.One drawback is there is no enough service station in Leh if you need any assistance.
3. Mahindra XUV500 Self Drive – Mahindra XUV also good for leh Ladakh trip not too much comfortable as compared to Toyota or ford but have service centre in leh. Drawback is lots of sensors in car.
4. Mahindra Scorpio Self Drive – Mahindra Scorpio is better than XUV and old lion in this field.

Rest decision is yours which car suits you and your budget.
