Have a female friend, who, because of her new job, is in the market for a new vehicle, with the main factors being:
1.Must be SUV type vehicle but not a pickup or car
2.Budget of 300k give or take
3.Decent reliability and after sales service
4.Must be able to blend into carparks full of euros and euro suvs.It might sound frivolous to some but this is the actual reason for having to get a new vehicle in the first place.
Thanks in advance.

Whether you choose to acknowledge it or not, your image plays a huge part in how you are perceived, more so in business and even more in Trinidad. The higher up you go the more important your image becomes, especially to your clients and prospects. Successful people gravitate towards and will always feel more open towards doing business with other people they perceive as being successful.
No sensible person would want to put themselves in debt by buying a new car especially if they own a perfectly fine,decent car, free and clear of all encumbrances.
Would you rather put your life in the hands of the lawyer who drives a corolla or the one who drives a Porsche?
Would you rather your heart surgeon drove a lancer or an X5?
This however, is not the ole talk section, so let's keep the ole talk for that.Thanks to those of you who made meaningful contributions.

You gents are way too smart.Can't pull one over on you guys.That lineup screams new money. She must be thinking 'wait till everyone sees me in my new Niro, Kuga or HR-V. I'll be the talk of the town/office.'
For the rest of people out there capable of chewing gum AND walking if you have any recommendations or reviews of the abovementioned or otherwise it will be appreciated.

None of these vehicles fit your 4th condition ... From the time you roll in with one of these your fellow co-workers with their euro's will think you are the new Janitor starting.

So we're left with the Kuga/Tucson/Sportage and possibly (Grand) Vitara.
We'll be sure to test drive before making any decision.

Why not search the used market then?
Instead of "trying" to blend... just blend.

All of these, in my opinion, are very good prices.

Perhaps your parents are subject matter experts in TQM and I am eager to learn more on the same (amongst others) thanks. Wanna save money on my next purchase.
