Mitsubishi Fuzion VS Toyota Innova

[boyT]

I saw Mitsubishi's Fuzion. I think they'll initially release 400 units only ... to check kung maging successful sila sa AUV/MPV market. Hindi pala locally assembled ang Fuzion.

Comparing with Innova, mas malakas ang engine nito. 2.4 Gas. A/T nga lang ang available. Syempre, mas malakas din sa gas.

[Bogeyman]

The Fuzion is smaller than the Innova, and it shows in the interior space. It is more aesthetically appealing and more loaded with features, however, apart from being the newer model.

But the biggest handicap of the Fuzion is its lack of flexibility (no diesel/manual tranny option). According to the motioncars review, this is because Taiwan (where the Fuzion originates) isn't too receptive of diesel vehicles; only a strong clamor for CRDi will force Mitsubishi Motors to reconsider releasing a diesel option.

Innova for me. more choice(diesel or gas, from J to V) , more roomy(Bigger than fusion) , more economy(mahal na ang gas ngayon).
But if you want some thing new other than innova, why not.

[drey]

Some claim that the Fuzion has more space... More safety features, and Twin HID lamps.

the only car na ma-apektuhan ng sales ng Fuzion eh Outlander hahaha

[Pro323_b5]

Any word as to how much the Fuzion costs?

Mukha tama ka dyan!

Any word as to how much the Fuzion costs?

980k for base model and 1.18m for GLS SPORT

Mitsubishi Fuzion GLS Sport = Php 1,190,000.00

If I'm going to buy a gasoline, A/T Innova, I'd prolly get the Fuzion instead. That being said, Toyota will still lead the sales game due to the fact that they offer lots of variants to cater to different segments.

Gas, A/T combos are big in Taiwan (lots of Taiwanese folks can't even drive sticks).

Bigger engines don't necessarily mean worse fuel consumption. I don't even know why local folks think that way. Probably in the same way some people still think that bigger displacement automatically means more power. :lol: Real world FC computations from real world users is a good yardstick.

The Outlander will remain the same... And its not going to affect the sales of both products since iba ang target market ng Fuzion sa Outlander.

Outlander is the prince. All its competitors are servants. LOL. Of course, Sta. Fe is the princess. The Rav4 is the adviser, the CR-V is the frog spelled by the wicked witch, X-Trail is the gladiator, the french Outlander are the chef, so on and so forth.

And I dont agree Toyota's ad tells us that "Do anything you want because the Innova can". Hehehe... Anything? I want to drink water... The Innova can?

The Fuzion is undoubtly durable as well... since its chassis is way back in 1992 from the Montero Sport.

[boybi]

The Fuzion won't affect the sales of the Outlander. If you have the money to buy an Outlander, why would you consider the Fuzion? It is like kung afford mong magtaxi, bakit ka pa magjjeep?

Yung 2.4 engine ng fusion, pareho kaya yan nung 2.4 na engine ng gen1 outlander? Na experience ko na gamitin medyo matagal yung gen1 outlander ng sister-in-law ko, antakaw sa gas, at di rin naman powerful, mas OKs pa yung CRV na gen2 ko dati. Baka kasi AWD? Nagkaron tuloy ako ng impression na "low-tech" at nahuhuli ang engine technology ng Mitsu, kasi nga, antaas ng displacement, baba rin naman HP, takaw pa Gas. Parang baliktad na achieve nila! Overall, tingin ko, "huli sa panahon" ang engine tech ng Mitsu, ganun na rin ang Nissan!

OT: Wala pa ngang CRDi diesel ang Nissan ata!

[drey]

Mitsubishi lowers the Hp rating for emission regulations.

Yep, the 2.4 is an old engine.

[Bogeyman]

I'd consider the Zinger / Fusion if it had a CRDi engine. But only if it has one.

Ako naman, I'd consider it only if it had a manual tranny, kung wala talagang diesel.

Magkakaroon rin nyan pagnagsimula ang local production ng Fuzion..

[aargh]

At least Innova has vvti which really helps in fuel economy. Base price of innova is 700+k while fuzion is 900+k. Sa high end models (1M) lang sila magkakatalo.

For the life of me I cannot understand how ANY manufacturer, assuming that it is currently available for a particular vehicle, does not offer a diesel engined version when introducing a new car into the market.
These decisions in today's fuel consious society leave HUGE holes in their target sales forecasts.
BAD DECISION Mitsubishi. Join the 21st century.....offer the diesel option.

Incidentally the newly introduced SSangyong Actyon is also only offered in Philippines with a petrol engine. However an emails to the Makati showroom resulted in Ssangyong Philippines agreeing to import the diesel engined version for me as a special order. i'm going to the showroom when I'm in Manila next to check out the showroom models to see if I like it 'in-the-flesh' or not before comitting myself.

It is always worthwhile asking if showrooms can get a normally unavailable particular model for you. Sometimes they say yes. Rumour has it this is called 'Customer Service'.

My sentiments exactly. But the problem is, there was no diesel Fuzion to begin with. There's news however that Mitsubishi Motors is now developing a diesel model.

If Mitsubishi thinks that a diesel variant wouldn't be viable in the Taiwanese market, they should have at least considered its inclusion in the ASEAN export units.

[altec]

the review says the vvti innova has slightly better fuel economy (8.8km/liter) than the fuzion (6.4km/liter).

[drey]

City driving with the Fuzion is 6-7.35 km/l. Highway gets 10-12 km/l.
