Honda BR-V vs entry-level mid-sized SUV (Everest/Fortuner/Montero/etc)

[siuu3ci]

Should I also get the Everest Trend even though my brother just got one last December? Or it would be better to have 2 different PPVs in the family? In this case I might get the Montero, I just can't seem to justify the price of Fortuner with its current specs. Or Fortuner G is better than Montero GLS?

TIA

The Montero is a very good choice. My daily city drive fairview to BGC considering heavy traffic 9km/L pa rin. Sa highway 100km/hr *8th gear cruise lng around 1.4k rpm smooth na sa smooth. Soft ang ride very comfortable di ka malalayo sa feeling riding sedan. Tpos power nya pag past 2k rpm grabe sa hatak. Initial feel ko nga parang pde compare sa Trailblazer sa lakas. 0-100kph tantsa ko 10secs GLS variant. Features sulit na sulit push button + electronic park brake + GPS guide safety + 4 eye back sensor + reverse cam + paddle shifter to name a few i like

Hi, I test drove the everest trend, features are nice but it felt "matagtag" maybe I am used to ride a sedan. I am now having second thoughts of getting a PPV. Haven't tried fortuner yet. But I don't want to have an uncomfortable ride everytime I drive. Is the ride of montero a lot better? Now I'm considering getting a CUV or a mid size sedan instead but would not be very practical.

A 7seat capacity vehicle will have a stiffer suspension versus a 5seat capacity vehicle. Because theyre diesels you can put sacks of rice to soften the ride 😁 without too much penalty on fuel consumption.

Not even the Montero has a ride quality that's at par with sedans. You have to prioritize what you want in a car - a crossover will be closer to a sedan's ride, while still offering the added space and ground clearance of a PPV. Only downside is that most are gas-fed except the Tucson and overpriced CX5 SkyActiv-D, and they naturally have poorer resale value vs. PPVs.

If I have the dough [wait, even if I have just enough money for the BRV- and I am sure I am buying],- I'd go with any of the Everest/Fortuner/Montero,- but NOT the BRV....

Come on,- this is a no brainer....

We have before the prev gen montero and it was ok, I'll try to book a test drive for montero. We are planning to buy because we need space and comfort. I'm checking out the PPVs since diesel and ground clearance would be a good bonus. In case we will also not like Montero's ride, maybe I'll check 2nd hand CUVs or midsize sedans. I really did not expect that the "tagtag" feeling will be that noticeable.

The new Xtrail is the only locally available CUV with collapsable 3rd row seats. It is one of the biggest among the CUVs and priced competitively. As expected, the third row seats are a bit cramped but the first and second row offer ample leg room.

Yup you have to ride the new Montero to see how soft it is. Its very different from previous gen. One thing you will notice is the softness is a bit bouncy but not too much and you will get used to it quickly. It is well balance on road conditions.

Check out the Toyota Innova ...Space? Check ... Comfort? Check ... Ground clearance? Check ... and most importantly Diesel? Check ...

Actual market performance states that "tagtag is just a state of mind... [and with a sidenote that you'll get used to it overtime,- just bear with it for a while] "

Compare the sale of the Fortuner vs. combined Everest/Montero/MuX - and it's staring on our faces....

Imho if you plan on regularly seating 7, the Innova is the only choice. The PPVs all have cramped 3rd rows. BR-V is a more like a 6 seater as the 2nd row is narrow.

We have a 4x4 X-trail and we love it, but the 3rd row is only usable by small kids. I personally would've preferred if they didn't add a 3rd row and just added the hidden storage compartment available in other markets. Leg room in 1st and 2nd row is best in class for the Japanese CUVs. Not sure if it is also the same for the bigger Sta. Fe. or the German brands.

Innova ticks all the needs but my wife doesn't like the exterior styling.

A new car' looks are just novelty. After you've racked up the miles, it wouldn't matter as much anymore.

You either love it or hate it but despite its looks, the Innova is one practical vehicle. If you're going to spend a chunk of your hard-earned money for a vehicle, it is worth paying a bit extra to get what you really want than settle for something which you will feel some remorse later on.

it doesn't matter too much, how un-beautiful it is on the outside, if you're going to spend much of your time inside it. that's where its beauty lies, as well as up front, under the engine cowl.
heh heh.

Looks actually matter ... to most people ... that is why we buy nice phones ... admire beautiful persons ... buy nice computers ... etc ...

Personally I think the current gen Innova looks great for what it is. Proportions are just right. It just needs bigger rims and a bit wider tires. But I do get the form over function bit. You will have to look at your car for a long time. That is also a big factor.

IMHO hindi naman pangit ang Innova, a big improvement over its egg shaped predecessor. What is more important for me in terms of looks is that the interior has to look good. We don't spend hours staring at the car while parked, but we do spend hours in the cabin during bumper to bumper traffic.
