2017 Mitsubishi Montero GLX MT or 2017 Toyota Innova 2.8G MT

[MAXBUWAYA]

If you're going to shell out a large amount of money, why not go for Montero? Baka manghinayang ka sa pera mo. A few hundred Ks nalang oh.

Am in a similar dilemma and the Innova is a 3rd choice between Montero and Fort.
Innova is being considered not because it has a lower price(Small difference lang naman) but the fact is operating cost will sure be lower than the two by around 30% as per my research.

It cant be subjective Doc.
First. Its clear that the budget here is strictly 1.1M.
MPV vs SUV. Magkaiba level or even you compare the fit and finish material etc of both car magkaiba talaga. Kahit yung sa G variant pa ng innova.
Road presence palang you get more with montero.

of course it's subjective.
why else is the mpv holding its own against the suv, in this thread alone ?
obviously, other factors other than what you mentioned, are at play.

Thank you guys for all your inputs/comments/suggestions...

To be practical, I think Innova will be a good choice not that I'm saying that Monty isn't... But definitely, when it comes to maintenance, I think MPV will be lower compared to a SUV.

To have a SUV is a dream come true but for now I think MPV will be a good choice for me and my family...


More power and God bless.

Go for SUV. It'll be more rewarding.

We are also in a very similar situation with the TS. Although I'm already sold on Innova 2.8G DSL AT white pearl. I want to have a second opinion to consider Monterosport 4x2 GLS. Since it is ~120k more than Innova, can someone help me justify the added price? ie. Does it monty warrant better safety features than innova and how's the FC between the two?

I went for the GLS because of the stance of thr Montero. In filipino iba ung tindig nya sa daan hehe!

parang nag post kana sa isang thread nito ah. hehehe


In terms of driving, I like both, but again these two can't be compared directly. If you see yourself primarily doing a lot of city driving or going through routes you traverse regularly, the Innova might be the better choice. Getting in and out of this MPV is easy. Compared to the Montero Sport, it's roomier inside, and it's a more versatile hauler of people and cargo. And it is comfortable too, of course.

But if you travel a lot out of town to remote, far-flung places, or go through flood-prone areas, the Montero Sport is the right choice. An SUV platform prepares you for the unpredictability of road and weather conditions is better than an MPV.

power: same
innova - power to weight ratio.
montero - has higher torque and hp

but Innova is detuned. once iniba na nila ang mapping mas malakas ang power ng Innova.

100kph run: Innova
Safety; monty
tech: monty
fuel: innova
Maintenance: innova
driving : innova

I'll go for the Innova in this case. Hindi ko talaga gusto porma ng Montero specially those abnormally long tail lights, mas gusto ko pa yung lumang Montero.

ah the crying tail lights. parang tears dripping down daw i never thought of it that way

The 120k is really for the presence/prestige of an SUV over an MPV.

But IMO it doesn't apply in this case because the Montero's rear is butt ugly. Now if you don't find the Montero's rear appalling, then the 120k might be worth it especially if you don't need the Innova's extra space.

Thanks jut703. Glad to see you again btw. I was active here before when I was deciding on our first car which we ended up with the Lancer hehe.

The monterosport's rear doesn't bother me much to the point that I'm dropping it on our options. It looks ok in the day but at night the tail lights looks like sperm cell to me.

As a followup question. In terms of safety between the two, is there a detailed comparison? (ie. #airbags, abs, collision prevention, etc.).

Airbags Innova has 3 including driver's knee, Montero 2

ABS standard for both models

Autonomous braking only for GT spec Montero. Afaik, only that and the Everest Titanium Premium+ have it in the segment.

Innova for interior space, convenient ingress egress, and the T badge. Montero for the additional ground clearance, if you're particular about labels (coz SUV lol), and if you can bear with the fugly rear.

[alvinator]

Thanks for your response guys. Really appreciate it. The remaining thing would be the test drive monty. In paper it is quite close currently.

Yeah, a Toyota SA told me that they are just awaiting for a memo for price increase. I was told that it might be all across models due to forex. For Innova G it could be around 30-40k.

Congrats on the pending new car purchase bro. 👍

In terms of safety features - both are pretty much equal with the standard dual airbags and ABS.

Since the looks of the Montero aren't bothersome for you, it really boils down to what you prioritize more - image or comfort/space.

Noone will say, "Wow naka-Innova", but the Innova ticks all the right boxes when it comes to practicality.

The Montero is more expensive and more cramped, but more powerful and more macho. If you won't be ferrying 7 people very often, the space difference isn't as pronounced.

Have you tried both cars for a test drive or even just a showroom visit? Which one did you feel more "at home" with?

So far I have driven the Innova G and really liked it specially the interior and space.

I'd like to give Montero a chance since I had good experience with mitsu brand.

Ang mura lang kasi ng previous Innova dati (671k base model) & the exterior design is not that attractive. But this current Innova is quite an appealing exterior. Some of my colleague kala nila SUV ang current Innova (lalo na yung mga nag palit ng tail light, RaV4 look alike). Ang dami thread na ganito sa ibang forum kahit they do not occupy the same vehicle segment.

Test drive the Montero sir. It is more expensive but from my personal experience, the feel and user experience is very different. The seats (GLS Premium) are also very comfortable, new techs and gadgets are fun to use, and ride comfort is among the best in its class. It's not as cramped as you might think. It has ample of space for leg and head room (I'm almost 6 ft). If you are the type where driving experience matters, you may like the Montero.

Just inspected the montero in the flesh. Space-wise the difference with innova is not too far as I expected. We even managed to fit three petite adults, a toddler and a baby in the third row. I'm more inclined to take montero now (might consider to get the GLS Premium) although it's quite hard to get a test drive. We already went to three showrooms but they don't have test drive units.

The SA told me that it uses the same aircon unit as nissan already (calsonic). Can anyone comment if this is true? Is it definitely colder than previous models?

I am not sure regarding whether it's the same aircon unit as nissan. But I can assure you it's really cold when it needs to. It has dual climate control (at least for the GLS Premium) and I've noticed its 24° is colder than our Fortuner. I would even turn it off at night because it feels really cold.

As to power, I don't know about Innova's but Montero has around 180HP. That's just on paper. But sa performance, I don't think Innova can outrun the Montero. Driver is a factor also. No Innova, or any other car, was able to outrun me yet except for a land cruiser and an explorer at speeds way faster than what is legal hehe (this is in the province po).
