Wait for this Tucson then you will have the best compact SUV in the local market (assuming the others don't release a new model themselves)

Tucson CRDi. Kaya lang medyo luma na design and magkakaron na ng bago ix35 siya.

Next is ford escape, maganda, bago pero mahal maintenance at lakas yan sa gas

Nissan Xtrail would be the last, medyo luma na design, lakas din sa gas nasa 6km/l pero car-like ride feeling.

Hyundai IX35



FORD ESCAPE:

Bakit hindi kasama ang CRV? Sa 3 choices na given, dun na ako sa XTrail

The Ford Kuga will probably match Hyundai ix35...although a little bit smaller..

Are those available here? The Equinox and Kuga I mean...

Actually there are a lot of choices other than the 3 you mentioned at the sub-2 million mark.

The Escape and Xtrail are somewhat dated and their 4speed automatic transmission feel so outmoded probably contributing to its gas guzzling ways. There is a mild excitement in the past months on the new facelifted Escape due to its lower price (P1.050 million for the XLS variant).

The CRDI twins---Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage. Choosing between the two is mainly for aesthetic consideration.

Then the CBUs from Japan---Mitsubishi Outlander and Toyota RAV4 which is a bit pricey (you may be better off with an entry level mid-size SUV for your money).

If you want to be different, you may also choose the Ssangyong Actyon.

Then the GM Captiva but it did not really capture a big chunk of the market.

And not to forget Motortrend's compact SUV for 2008 which is the Subaru Forester.

But if I were to choose and for my money, I would go for the 2.0L CRV. Its more practical to own one compare to the Subaru and the Japanese CBUs mentioned, its no slouch in the looks department (cf. Actyon), and more modern than the aged Escape and Xtrail.

If you want diesel then the Korean twins would be it.
