Battle of the Compact MPVs (Ertiga, APV, Avanza, Mobilio, etc)

The Toyota Innova is still one of the most practical vehicles for ph road conditions.

Very true! Frugal on fuel consumption, low maintenance, big interior, seats for a big Pinoy family, rugged body - such good characteristics for a vehicle but ranks low in aesthetics and style. However, it is meant to deliver the goods. Do you really need a pretty-looking wrench or a fashionable kitchen can&bottle opener? I guess not.

it is an ugly duckling.
good thing that we don't see much of the ugliness when we are inside it and immensely enjoying everything else.

It's not a compact MPV.

[Walter]

They shouldn't have update the Innova's looks.

I used to have an 09 Innova E. Ugliest Interior ever. Although yung Fortuner ko na nakuha ko last year almost have the same design, the refinements done are far from my Innova. Sa mga choices, trip ko ang Ertiga sa itsura. Pero kung nagiisa lang kotse ko, dun na ako sa Mobilio.

Avanza is the best !!

Avanza is the best !!

including fuel efficiency..?
'tis what's keeping me from getting one... so far...
i hope the new one has a markedly improved fuel record.

Avanza is the best !!

Ertiga has the best value. It's ride quality is very good. Very economical also sa fuel. You sit higher than the mobilio. It is more stable than the avanza. Durability tested na in India. Harsh yung ride ng avanza. Mobilio has sedan ground clearance, and it's a Honda. Masakit sa bulsa pag PMS nah.

Twice a year maintenance ng honda.

[Walter]

Honda Mobilio and Suzuki Ertiga has similar ground clearance at 185mm.

[kevinworld]

Consider also front and rear overhang, departure angle etc. Ertiga excels.

Those info doesnt mean anything. You dont take an fwd vehicle off road.

Don't need to go offroad for those to become relevant.

for someone who is shopping for a capable vehicle AND not in the market for the Ecosport or any other SUV/CUV. This is good to know.

Now granted, the differences between them might be negligible at best. Still, more info.

Some inclined parking spaces and ramps require these features specially buildings in flood prone areas.

+1- agree 100%, eventhough the ground clearance of mobilio is quite high, those overhangs especially the rs variant will regularly grind those slopes, even on a moderately inclined garage.This i think is the biggest advantage of avanza over other compact mpv with it's high approach and departure angle.
