Nissan Grand Livina vs. Toyota Innova/Avanza

Parang alanganin ang size at pricing nung Grand Livina, somewhere between the Innova and Avanza. Which would it be for you?

Para sakin Innova > Livina > Avanza.

Ito nga pala ang dimensions nila (in mm):

Innova: (L x W x H) 4555 x 1770 x 1755, wheelbase = 2750, min ground clearance = 176

Grand Livina: (L x W x H) 4420 x 1690 x 1595, wheelbase = 2600, min ground clearance = 180

Avanza: (L x W x H) 4120 x 1630 x 1695, wheelbase = 2655, min ground clearance = 200

just had my first look with the livinia..

its sized between the avanza and livinia.

honestly puna ko lang talaga is the lack of 2nd aircon(for the rear) and saw that AC vent directed upward, ITS PUNY! so small!

well, i will schedule for a test drive on both manual and matic models and look at their accessories catalog. me wants the manual, 6 speed, and see what accessories i could put in...particularly the fogs and that ABS..

as for seating, good for 4-5 passengers.. the last row, is good for toodlers. but the best is its folds to the floor, not like the avanza and innova.

the engine-- its much modern than the VVTi of the avanza.. actually, its renault made(as i recall)..

well, ako livinia na ako.. hehehe..

pero kung pag negosyo/resale habol mo, at gusto mo RWD parin, dun ka sa other 2 choices.

Can you please expound about the aircon? TIA.

The Innova and Avanza has 2nd row aircon vents on all models.

yes, there is no dual aircon
yes, its the front aircon (to reach the back) is small

my point is, kapag matagal na ang car mo (probably 4-5 years) ang aircon ng nissan nandyan pa rin...its still cold unlike toyota 3 years lang wala na ang lamig...

may nissan sentra ako (199? yata) hanggang ngayon lamig pa rin ng aircon. cguro pinarepair ko lang once
may toyota corolla din ako (dont know the model again) naka-30 or more repair na ako ng aircon, it is still not cold as nissan

kaya proven nissan's aircon is better...

ako kasi hanap ko aircon, fuel efficiency, interior and exterior...
i'm not looking for power, acceleration, resale value...
kaya for me, livina pa rin not because i own one but because ang galing talaga ng aircon ng nissan...

When we test drove the Livina, I had my petite adult sister sit on the third. Space was OK for her, but aircon was lacking even if we were already freezin up front.

Apparently, the absence of the rear a/c vents was a cost-cutting measure to make their price competitive.

I think it's only a matter of aligning your air vent properly. I drove my GL with 5 adults 1 teen, 1 kid and 1 baby (fully loaded) at around 12:30 pm, no complaint from any of my passenger. It was comfortable all the way to 3rd row and a/c setting was 3 only.

SHARING IS CARING
