Price War: PICANTO vs AVANZA

[Dudee]

PICANTO m/t and avanza J... di naman makalayo ang price... does anybody know why? Obviously they are not in the same category..

Picanto M/T is 595T

Avanza J is 593T... (5 seater)

[renzo_d10]

The Avanza J which is priced at 593k looks like a taxi. No hubcaps and only available in white.

Better yet get the Avanza J that's priced at 610k(?). That's a better one.

Anyways, if I`ll just pick between the two, I`d pick the Avanza.

But here are some alternatives.

Nissan Sentra GX ( power ) - 610k

Toyota Vios J - 595k

Avanza J - 610k(?)

Hyundai i10

Suzuki Celerio

^he he he. medyo malayo ka yata boss Renzo..

sige, try ko rin sagutin si TS.

Maybe because both are not locally assembled, or CBU from somewhere and they are required to raise their price because of tax (not sure what type/kind)

Ganito rin ang sagot ng agent ng Kia nung tinanong ko yung price ng Carens nila, from roughly P900K to P1M na.

Very well said sir Kers!

CBU so may tax yung Picanto kapag pinasok dito hehe. For me I would rather get the Avanza, locally made pa hehe. Sobrang bare? Ipon ka ng 20k and then palit mags na, maporma na Vanzy mo hehe. Sorry na OT hehe.

i think the avanza is also a CBU from Indonesia. so how come the Avanza is priced more reasonably than the Picanto? if i am to choose from the two, i would pick the Avanza if i'm into cargo capacity & roominess. but if ride comfort is my thing, then it is definitely the Picanto. i find the Avanza quite bouncy but tolerable. the Picanto, on the other hand, is a very good city car due to its tinny size and small displacement engine which equates to good fuel mileage.

The Pica is way too expensive at almost 600K+. IMO.

Indonesia just like Thailand is ASEAN. Korea where Picanto is from is not a part of ASEAN and thus have no tax advantage. Look at CBU Japan units they are very expensive too (RAV4 anyone?) or are slashed in features to just compete in price.

same here..

If I have the chance, I'll get an Indon Avanza, bring it here and declare as "second hand" like Pacman did to his toy. Baka mas makatipid pa, at kakaiba and design kaysa sa specced-up models ngayon.

Yun nga lang, kung galing ng Indonesia, baka hindi gumana ng maayos dito, saka iba fonts/language/text ng mga parts niya. Hindi pinoy e. he he he. oops, OT na rin ako.

btt:
yung Picanto na bago, maganda rin, parang cute na "bumpcar", kaso yun nga maganda rin ang price.

if you are choosing among the 2. i suggest u go with the avanza. just buy new rims.

picantos are for highschool kids. or college girls.

If I drove a Picanto, the rear passengers will be having a lot of trouble. But it's avoidable if my belly touches the steering wheel. Not the case on the Avanza.
