    Even though Kia and Hyundai are the from the same global brand but the they have different local distributors in the country. There are a lot of bad comments about how Hari (Hyundai dealer) handles its maintenance services but that didn't stop people from buying the Accent, Elantra, Tucson, Elantra, and Santa Fe.

    the ford ecosport ground clearance is only 200mm... don't know why you use 550mm as your reference (throw in also the potholes factor when it comes to wading capability)
    the xtrail ground clearance is also 200mm... but more space for you + power
    these two xtrail features alone overweighs the good fc of the ecosport it offers.
    if i were you i'd pick the xtrail
    Sir, honestly I don't know much about car. but I just read that it's an advantage for EcoSport. I'm still confused what cars to get..
    As you said, Civic is also almost crossed out from my list. The higher ground clearance, the bigger satisfaction for me. but I also have to think about my budget which is up to 1M like slightly close to 1.1M

    If only I have much more budget like 1.5M I'd consider Fortuner and Motero Sport. Or Escape but I heard Escape is out from the Philippine market.

    if you can sleep with the lesser space then get the ecosport at a lesser price... meron ka pang more than 100k to spare
    kasi wala naman talaga na all-in-one car even if you have the budget.

    better test drive both before letting go your hard earned money to the dealership.

    The X-trail is a very good buy, having a CUV at 1.08M pricetag. Some dealers even have very good discounts for them. But at this point, this 2.0 variant is already old. Plus, it is also very thirsty in gasoline. I average 6.5-7km/L on mine. I'm thinking that even getting a brand new one, for sure the stock units are already a year or 2 after production.

    If I were you, I'd get the Strada. Among the pickups, it has car-like dynamics and comfort, better 2nd row space and smaller bed, making it the most maneuverable pickup during parking. Plus its diesel.

    If your not brand or make conscious I would suggest the Haima 1. Its a CUV with a reported better fuel consumption than others. Also it has features w/c may convince you otherwise.
