2024 Innova Zenix 2.0 V CVT (non-HEV) vs Innova 2.8 G A/T

[ale828]

What about the resale of these cars kaya?

I have a feeling that the Zenix would depreciate faster.

Yes, the zenix would depreciate faster due to its gasoline engine. Just check the prices of the Old TOTL gasoline engines Innova vs the diesel Innova. halos pareho lang price nila ngayon.

Pinoys still love their diesel units.

Shouldn't really be buying a vehicle based on resale value ...

Agree...but reasons they hold value must not be ignored.

Of course, the resale value isn't the only thing I'm looking at. But who doesn't like having a financial upper hand when trading up to a new car later?

I'm also reading up on the Zenix' M20A-FKS engine. It's certainly more modern and very efficient. However, with more electronic controls, motors, and actuators up the wazoo, like an electric water pump, oil pump, and thermostat (as opposed to their more traditional mechanical versions), this sounds like a potentially expensive repair/maintenance bill later.

I know I'm overthinking it... that's why this is the most exciting stage in buying anything... the research and the hunt. :D

Halos 10k na lang naman pala matitipid mo sa lumang model, dun ka na sa bago.

i think the depreciation would depend more on its reputation for performance, reliability, etc,
rather than whether it is diesel or gasoline.
only time will tell, i imagine.
