Best Used 2500-4500cc Cars Under 40 Lacs PKR

With ever-increasing fuel prices, people are shifting towards smaller engines and hybrids. However, there are still some car enthusiasts with extra money who would be looking for bigger engine cars and don’t care about fuel economy; for those people, here’s our blog, the best 2,500+cc cars under 40 lacs.?

Honda Accord CL7

If you think Civic is a performance car, you haven’t experienced an old JDM Honda. Accord CL7 is a D-segment sedan with Honda’s 2.4L i-Vtec engine, which produces 198 HP and 235 Nm of torque in stock and can be further tuned on dynamo if you wish to add more horses.?

With 0-100 in only 6.5 seconds, this car will define what a Vtec is, not that Civic, which is a 1.6L family B-segment sedan. Of course, it’s Honda, so its suspensions are very sensitive but very smooth and comfortable, and the overall road grip and ride quality are up to the mark.?

To be honest, exterior-wise, we think the Accord is better than the MarkX—that’s just our editorial team’s opinion. But overall, MarkX and Accord are both great JDM D-class sedans with solid Vtec and 4G?Japanese engines.

Now, in terms of resale, it’s just not comparable to its competitor; MarkX has got Toyota’s badge, so resale-wise, MarkX is a better option, but both cars are very rugged, comfortable, powerful and very reliable machines.?

• Power: 198 HP
• Torque: 235 Nm

Budget 2.7-3.5 Million

BMW 745i 2002 (7 Series)

Just look how aggressive and solid this BMW looks. In fact, these generations of BMWs are also known as Sigma cars in the automotive industry. They range from 3,000 to 4,500cc engines—yes, a 4,500cc engine in a sedan car—and this specific model has the same 4,500cc V8 engine.

It produces 336 HP in stock and can reach a top speed of 320 Km/h, but don’t test that on our Motorway; it’s not German Autobahn.

Being a Deutsche engineering marvel, luxury, comfort, and drive quality is jaw-dropping and incomparable with any JDM in the same price range. However, you might have trouble finding its spares and even diagnosing the issue if any occurs.

For true car enthusiasts, it’s a very solid machine and one of the best if you want to catch the eyes of people on the road.

• Power:?336 HP
• Torque:?450Nm

Budget: 3.8-4 Million

Toyota Camry

We’re not talking about the Hybrid generations of Camry; you don’t expect that in a 4 million budget. We’re talking about the sixth-generation Camry, which was non-hybrid.

If you search on Google for “most reliable cars in the world,” you’ll surely see Camry anywhere in the top 7 list.?

While the MarkX was geared more towards sports, drifting, and performance, the Camry is more like a family car with incomparable reliability and best-in-class comfort.?

I once did a long tour from Lahore to Abbottabad on the same sixth-generation Camry. Surprisingly, even at 210 Km/h cruising, it felt like the car was cruising at 80-100 Km/h. There was no tire noise, no outside traffic noise, and no engine noise, and the car didn’t lose 1% of its road grip even at the speed of 215 km/h.

• Power: 140 HP
• Torque: 195 Nm?

Budget: 3-3.5 Million

Toyota Land Cruiser J70

Yes, it’s the exact vehicle used in the 1987 Great Toyota War. The J70 is so reliable, durable, and rogue that Chad used it in their 1987 war against Libya in the desert.?

Instead of using tanks and regular military vehicles, Chad mounted machine guns, bazookas, and rocket launchers on Toyota J70s and fought against Libya.?

Libya’s tanks and military vehicles broke down in sand dunes and failed to operate in extremely high temperatures, while Chad’s J70s provided superior mobility and performed exceptionally well in the harsh desert conditions.

Ultimately, Chad won, and Libya lost only because of Chad’s J70 strategy.

It’s a 3.6L vehicle that is almost indestructible and a perfect 4×4 SUV project for off-roading and Northern areas.?

Now, I know you are thinking that it’s a 3.6L, so it must be powerful enough to outperform MarkX and the latest Prado. No, it’s not. It only produces 85HP, which is even lower than the Honda City 1.3L. It’s a low-stress engine designed for reliability, not performance.

Still, to date, in many conflict zones, militant groups use J70 and Hilux as their preferred car!

• Power: 85 Hp
• Torque: 138 Nm

Budget: 2.5-3 Million

Toyota Hilux 4th Generation

This is the exact vehicle that was stated as an “indestructible truck” by Top Gear. They did a hell of a lot of extreme tests on this pickup. Top Gear submerged the whole vehicle in the ocean, set it on fire, crashed the car on a bus, and did all the extreme tests they could do with a car, but the engine still started, and the vehicle was able to run, and Top Gear named it an “indestructible truck.”

The reason behind its rigidity is its simplicity. Its chassis is based on a boxed frame, which is a hollow, four-sided frame, as opposed to modern vehicles, which have a three-sided C-shaped frame. This chassis design gives Hilux a super strong strength ratio and high rigidity against load and crash impact.

Toyota designed the 4th generation pickup in the 1980s, and its only objective was to design a very rugged, workaholic truck that could last forever and face any kind of rough and tough situations.?

It also uses a very low-stressed 2.4L diesel engine that only produces 40-50 HP but is reliable enough to?last up to 13 million km without breaking down.

• Power: 40-50 HP
• Torque: 105 Nm

Budget: 1.9-2.5 Million

Toyota MarkX

MarkX, if you’re a Habibian viewer, you probably already know about this JDM beauty. It is a D-segment Japanese-imported Toyota with 2.5L and 3.0L engine specifications.

In this price category, you can easily get an early model of MarkX 1st generation with 2.5L engine specs that produce 212-235 HP in stock and can be tuned on dynamo if you wish to add more horses to the car.

MarkX is not only about power and performance; in fact, it’s the most comfortable ride money can get you with a budget of 3.7 million. Suspensions are extremely soft, the grip is so strong that it doesn’t wobble even at 220 Km/h, and the sitting posture is fine for long tours.

And with the Toyota emblem, you get JDM Toyota’s reliability and on-the-spot resale.

Overall, MarkX is a true JDM D-segment sedan with best-in-class 2.5L performance and comfort, and also an ideal sedan for donuts and drifting.

• Power:?212-235 HP?
• Torque:?243 – 387 Nm

Budget: 3.5-3.9 Million?

Toyota Crown

Also known as the “Gentlemen’s car,” true to its name, Toyota has crowned this car the most expensive and luxurious in its family sedan lineup.

Unfortunately, you don’t expect any up model in 4 million budget, but some 90’s model, but that Crown will be far better than any brand new sedan available in our local market.

What new options do you get in a 4 million budget?

• Changan Alsvin
• Suzuki Swift
• Honda City

It’s a joke to compare a Toyota Crown with all these overpriced PKDMs! Their power, comfortability, road grip, and reliability are not even 1% of what Toyota offers in its 1998 Crown.

For instance, a 1998 model Crown will get you a 3,000cc engine that produces over 280 HP in stock. The suspension and comfort are just on another level, comparable with today’s 10 million category BMWs and Audis.

The outside noise is nicely dampened in the cabin, with no traffic sounds infiltrating your ears.

You also get heated seats, electronic power adjustment seats, digital climate control, telescopic steering, and gliding AC grills.

Overall, if you want to experience a true JDM luxury on a budget, Crown is the best option for this price, even better than many other modern cars on a 10 million budget, and being a Toyota, reselling is not a problem!

• Power:?256 HP
• Torque:?350 Nm

Budget: 3-3.7 Million
