2021/2022 SUV Options

Try looking at a Lexus.
If I didnt need 7 seats coz of my kids, id probably get a NX 300 or RX350. Luxurious, easy drivability and ultra durable

^ +1 sa NX300.

Hindi ba sumasayad ang explorer or cx9 pag punuan, lalo na pagdating sa mga humps?

Fits the budget, but isn’t it a lot smaller though? And how’s the build quality compared to the Prado?

I don’t think so. Most compact crossovers don’t even do that when full. The midsize crossovers would be more robust.

Unless of course you load it beyond capacity which might break something. Besides, most owners of such vehicles use them like any compact crossover.

Compact crossover yung NX. Yung RX ang midsize but hindi sya 7-seater. Di rin ata 7-seater yung X5 or GLE or Q7.

Ano preference ni wifey? I think the explorer or CX-9 will suit her. I have the 2018 explorer, i like the engine response, it's boxiness and space all the way to the third row seats with extra space at the back for small cargo. Mas maganda interior build quality ng CX-9, comparable sa mga euro brand.

Mazda CX-9 is longer or same length as that of the Toyota Land Cruiser ...

Lexus RX 350L is seven seater ...
BMW X5, Mercedes Benz GLE and Audi Q7 have 7-seat configuration ...

Lexus RX 350 ... BMW X5 ... Mercedes Benz GLE 350 ... Porsche Cayenne ...
Lexus NX 300 ... BMW X3 ... Mercedes Benz GLB 200 ...

Which would you choose and why? ...

Alternatively ... Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo ... (the Porsche Taycan RWD has too low ground clearance) ...

A lot smaller ang NX.
Build-wise and finish, Lexus definitely.
Well that’s why Lexus is the luxury brand of Toyota.
I suggest you passby the Lexus showroom in BGC to see firsthand the hype around the brand

Its tiny inside compared to an LC200. My sister has one.

Or maybe thats just my perception. But the LC200 is big already snd should serve the TS OP's needs like a glove. Ayan lang his wife doesnt want it.


As many have said...a Lexus should also easily last 10 years.

Ah ambaba kasi ng ground clearance nila eh compared to pure suvs.

Exterior yes. Interior compared sa Prado baka hindi lalayo. Mas efficient sa packaging ang unibody, better ingress egress din. RX350 sana kung bigger space, kaso malayo sa budget.

Gaya ng sabi ng iba, maganda puntahan sa showroom at test drive.

Most mazda's are indeed smaller inside compared to their peers ... they prioritize looks and performance over practicality ... niche market sort of ... the Land Cruiser is actually more value for money considering how it holds up it's value over time ...

Yung Forester at Outback same lang ground clearance as PPVs (just over 8 inches). I think the CX9 and Explorer would be the sane.

Yung CRV at CX5 ata lower than 8 inches yung ground clearance.

I have an X5, if it’s the same I’d rather go for a bigger SUV. Ganda ng NX300 pero redundant sila ng X5.

CX9 performance over an Explorer? It will have better handling but it won’t outpace an Explorer in a sprint. These big Ford SUVs just pack more oomph than the competition but they will turn like bricks. Hehehe

It sounds like you want a slightly bigger LC200 (than an X5), but your wife wants a slightly smaller LC150.

Something like that haha. But I’m good with the LC150, just wondering if there are alternatives that I haven’t considered.

[EQAddict]

I actually find the LC150 the weakest in its class.
