Toyota Innova VS Montero Sport

[wolfhound]

hey guys,

first of all, im aware that both aren't the same class. I opened this thread because i want to know if i made the right decision choosing Innova. Do you know the main purpose of each vehicle? my purpose is just to have a family car, of course with much room space. And the reason why i didnt choose montero is because i have test driven crosswind and i dont like it and i know it has the same height as montero.

Thanks for any comments!

Why would you compare the Montero which is a full-bred SUV with the AUV crosswind? They are totally different cars, the Montero has a coil spring suspension (sweet ride), a powerful CRDI Diesel Engine, Dual Airbags, 4-Star EuroNCAP crash safety rating and Electronic ABS/ 4-Wheel EBD. The Crosswind has none of those. The Innova has the annoying split-type 3rd row seats which limits cargo room when loading large and wide balikbayan boxes or a 42" LCD TV. The Montero has the fold-flat seats on the 3rd and 2nd row so you can haul more. The styling of the Montero is better with a blend of a "2011 Lincoln MKX" on the front and "Audi Q7" at the back. My cousins agree with me that the Innova styling is more for a soccer mom... but it works for others.

why you didn't like it?

well,mas marami makakasakay sa innova but montero sport is way better than innova in terms of power,speed and has much comfortable ride than innova... mas maganda ang suspension ng montero kaysa sa innova..but innova is better than crosswind though.

Montero Sport.

i compared the two because both are family car, meaning they can accomodate more than 5 persons.

yes both of them can accommodate more than 5 persons, I think the innova can accommodate more than 7 but MS has many advantages in almost all aspects..

sportivo and MS are TOTALLY DIFFERENT.. It's just like comparing apples and oranges..

Innova might be your car of your choice, for a family car-wagon.....

If you would like speed, power and sporty look - id go for Montero Sport

if I am not mistaken there is just a slight difference on the height of Innova, Crosswind and Montero.... kasi if you also have an Innova, medyo mataas sya at maninibago ka coz you can hardly see the hood; if you came from being a car driver.... this is what I just noticed....

my money would go to the montero sport.

you mean to say you test drove a crosswind but you didn't do a test drive on the montero??

Correct!

Well, I have been driving a sedan for 6 years and i drove toyota sienna (in US) for 3 mos. the sienna was fine. I didn't have problem with parking despite of its size because Americans are well disciplined when it comes to driving, parking etc.

[jozef_10]

test drive the montero. but if you already made the purchase and choose the innova then it's too late to change your mind

[wolfhound]

i guess it's too late. i think i would be satisfied with innova since i recently learned that montero can only accomodate 7 persons while innova can do 8. i need much capacity i can get. but i dont like settling with a pure can type like starex.

yup you're too late... do you have a choice now... innova has a fine look and comfort ride but branding a starex as pure can might court you somethin'
don't get me wrong because i got an innova, but if got money to burn then will settle with MS.

[silverend]

the comparison should have been INNOVA VS. CROSSWIND. MS vs. FORTUNER, that make sense. peace

ok lang yan INNOVA binili mo. I wish Innova G naman get you and not the low end. maybe talo sa porma, pero I assure you comfort wise sa whole family mas approbado. Climate control ang aircon unlike montero na manual pa. then ang stereo ng montero pang kopong kopong ang dating. Your main concern is seating capacity kaya tama lang innova, yun 3rd row seat nya can really seat an adult comfortably unlike montero na ewan malagyan lang ng 3rd row pang kids lang talaga.
with your inova you save at least 200t pesos. sa montero kasi day light robbery, ang daming add on sa SRP nya, pag bank loan additional dealer's incentives, pag cash you give additional cash, pag in house financing naman double the interest. masyadong ginto ang trato ng mitsubishi sa montero nila. By not buying we don't tolerate the abuse of the dealer.
enjoy your ride!!

may auto climate control din ang montero for top of the line model and the sound system is not that bad.. 5'11 ako at wala akong kaprobleproblema sa 3rd row seat nya kahit 2 pa kami nakaupo...very comfortable yung ride compare to innova..power,speed and safety lamang ang montero and can carry lots of load..truck based kasi siya..ok din naman ang innova but MS is better..

[jmpet626]

Mas ok nga yung stereo ng MS kasi JVC yung gamit na HU. Pangit tunog ng mga OEM na head unit.

[coolman]

Was in the same boat as TS. I took a tape measure and measured the interior of both the MS and Innova. pls check for yourself.

2nd row seat width - MS 47" vs Innova/Fortuner/Santa Fe 51"
Ride Height (from ground up to scuff plate) MS 21" vs Innova 15" vs Fortuner 20" vs SF 16"

No doubt that they are meant for different purpose. and i end up with a innova G d4d. pretty satisfied so far...

just my 2 cents

Thanks! wow i cant believe that MS's 2nd row seat width is bigger than the fortuner. i always thought it's the other way around.

ANyway, I'm trying to convince myself that i made the right decision. hehehe BEcause everyone is telling me that i should have gotten the MS.
