Nagkaroon ng mitsu grandis, suzuki apv, nissan livina at chevy orlando diba. May iba pa ata pero hindi nako familiar eh. What I'm sure though is that those mentioned mpvs didn't become prominent so much in the streets. Natira though ang apv. And then yan, nagsilabasan na mga current crop of mpvs ngayon, kahit may mga other alternatives like the small crossovers, minisuvs like the juke or ecosport. Pero mga 5 seater lang kc mga yan kaya ibang class parin mga yun.
Ngayon, diba naglabas ng mpv c honda which is the mobilio? To compete with the avanza and the likes. Naging successful naman siguro ito for them. Tapos naglabas pa sila ng br-v, which is slightly bigger but more attractive. Mas mahal nga lang kasi mas maporma ang dating.
Now, toyota will release the rush kasi it might compete with the similar br-v or new similar sized mpvs/minisuvs as well. This thing also looks somewhat similar to the outgoing rav4 and fortuner, with some specs from the avanza that include some interior touches as well, being a daihatsu at all. In short, parang br-v lang din. They will release this because siguro dahil nga sa ginawa ng honda. Two similar small 7-seater vehicles at the same time.
Syempre, with the train law implemented, the prices of the totl of these models are almost on par with the price of an entry-level of the larger innova, which has grown wider already.
Kaya it's a matter of choice and decision na lang kung san ba talaga gagamitin ang vehicle. Yun nga lang, nagmahal na din ang prices ng petrol at diesel eh.
