Its already here? They told me 6 months when I inquired at the motorshow.
Yeah, its a nice ride. 5 seats, compact size and classier than anything in this class.

The market here is traditionally dominated by Japanese brands.
They are easier to resell and command better resale. Unlike Saudi, the american brands like GMC are not that popular here (yet!).

Some basic questions:
- do you want to offroad, or you want a city-SUV?
- do you want a 5-seater or 7-seater?

The most popular SUVs within your budget are the Toyota Prado, Toyota Fortuner, Mitsubishi Pajero.
The Honda MRV is good value within this price range as well as the Nissan Pathfinder, but they are less popular here.

Then you can get good value for money with Hyundai, going with the Santa Fe or Verracruz..both fit your budget.

Mazda CX-9 is a new model that is slightly above 120k, but a nice large city-SUV.
