4x4 Of The Year 2016: The Finalists

MITSUBISHI TRITON EXCEED
Good things often come in small packages. Mitsubishi’s MQ Triton proves the point and does it for a good price.

NISSAN NAVARA STX
Nissan thought outside the box for its new Navara, with coil-spring rear suspension and a bi-turbo diesel donk.

FORD EVEREST TREND
The Ford Everest is a new 4x4 wagon based of the Ranger’s T6 platform. Not a bad first effort either.

TOYOTA LANDCRUISER PRADO GXL
The old Prado keeps on keeping on, even with a smaller 2.8-litre engine fitted to it in its latest update.

TOYOTA HILUX SR5
When the best-selling 4x4 in the land gets a new model, you take notice. Hiluxes sell like cold beer for a reason!

TOYOTA FORTUNER GXL
Fortuner gives buyers of 4x4 wagons an affordable alternative to the Prado, but is it worth your hard-earned?
