The Suzuki Escudo is a solid choice if you want to keep things simple and within budget.<\/h4>\n<h4>This compact 4&#215;4 is sporty, robust, easy to handle and economical to run. It drives comfortably on long stretches and feels at home on rougher tracks, too. The automatic gearbox makes driving relaxed, while the manual switch to four-wheel drive gives you extra grip when you need it.&nbsp;Fuel consumption is low compared to a Land Cruiser, averaging around 10\u201313 km per litre. That means fewer fuel stops and more freedom on the road.<\/h4>\n<h4>It\u2019s good to know that the Escudo is not suitable for travel to the Serengeti or Lake Natron.
