New car for next year!

Anyone have experience with Mitsubishi Athlete? Considering Mitsubishi again, due to service reliability, and also find Mitsubishi as a great economic choice. Ford is not an option where Iive, if anyone have simular option other brands.

 

Key words Safety, service reliability, Comfort, 4wd

 

Budget max 1,4 million

Mitsubs are good cars. I only driven big models but good cars.

So why does he say "New car"? While he is looking for a pickup. Should edit.

IMO Mitsubishi has always been an undrerrated and reliable brand.

My reference model is a pick up! Where I come from, a small pick up truck is considered as a car. Taxed and insured as a car.

30 minutes looking at norks... 

 

What was she selling again?

Only had a sit in the new Triton, but was impressed with the interior - large screen, good quality finishes for a pick-up, electric seat etc.  And it seems to have had a comprehensive update this year.  

 

I prefer a unibody SUV myself, so I'd probably go for a Subaru Forrester or Honda CR-V.  The Scoobydoo in within your budget, and good value now as there's a new model due next year.

I need a 4x4 and room for two dirt bikes, therefor a pick up. If not I would head for a suv as well, but a decent suv is hard to get in budget with 4x4

None of the Above ... as I've lost total respect for the Legacy auto makers.

 

Just a thought, stop buying the same ol' high maintenance crap.  At least take a peek and test drive some of the other options.

We are very satisfied with our service at the 2. closest city from our home, 150km drive. Good service stations seems to be go lucky most places. We have tried 3 different places, and this one we have no complains.

Nissan Motors Credit Rating was downrated to "Junk" status last week.  You buy a Nissan at your peril.

Is there an EV pickup option on the market yet? What other options do you have in mind?

For that sort of money, you can't go past Toyota.

The OP said he wanted a new car for next year, BYD will have an EV pickup on sale sometime next year, it may be a PHEV.

I agree , why take a chance, Toyota is best and has best resale. 

The re is a reason why 9 out of 10 terrorists chose Toyota 

They should use it in their marketing campaign.

Interesting. For city work as a delivery vehicle, IMO ideal.

Of course, the Thai predilection for exceeding load limits by substantial margins would affect range.

The MG that your driving is from a legacy auto brand as they are currently MG 100th years of making cars

According to this article BYD look like their 1st pickup will be a gas hybrid

As for the power option that BYD chooses to launch first in 2024, it will be a gasoline engine. It works with a plug-in hybrid electric motor (PHEV), while a pure electric version (BEV) will be ready for sale in 2025.

I think there are plenty of Ford F150 lighting owners  wishing they had delayed their purchases so maybe better to wait for BYD 3rd generation pickup trucks

I do not want a EV car in Thailand, to hot and not yet established enough charging points around in the country. 

 

And also where we frequently drive  flooding yearly.

Every indication is that he wants a pickup,

He didn't need to edit, he assumed posters could read.   He mentioned a Mitsubishi pickup in his OP, provided a link to that pickup and specifies 4WD...then he followed up with a video comparing two pickups!
