SUV buying advice

[JEDVitug]

Hello, tsikoteers! I need your advice po in buying a brand new SUV.

Here are my requirements:
- As much as possible, diesel engine po, we can consider gas engines
- Good FC, more or less 9km/l
- Again, as much as possible, compact size
- We are a family of 5, but I might need a 7-seater. So full time 5 seater, part time 7 seater po. We can consider a 5 seater.
- Ample cargo space, let's say 8 balikbayan boxes patong-patong, so 4 over 4 <== not all the time, just an example lang po how big is the cargo space we require
- Brand image doesn't matter, we might or can consider Chinese cars
- Our budget is exactly P1,000,000, but we can push up slightly
- We don't like to consider vans, masyado na pong malaki.
- We can consider other SUV-similar vehicle types such as AUV and MPV

No choices in mind yet...

Thank you po

Afaik pasok yung Montero Sport 2.5 GLX 4x2 sa needs mo. Dagdag ka kunti. Or if mataas na, hanap ka nang 2nd hand na mga 1-2 years old pa lang. Ayos pa yun. or yung hindi na kaya monthly sa bank. Halos bago pa din eh.

Yung base model Tucson. Or Ford Escape.

O di kaya Avanza 1.5G. Kung kaya Montero GLX, dun na, pero baka masyadong malaki for you.

I aggree with you Ry. I suggest a 1-2 year old 2nd Everest to TS, since habol nya cargo space.

Puwede din Innova 2.5 D4D E or G variant MT nga lang para malapit sa P1M. Kasya naman ata 6-8 balikbayan boxes.

Kung 8 boxes kasi parang pick-up lang talaga puwede IMO.

2013 Montero GLX M/T, maganda at matipid sa krudo. If you decide on this one double check sa forum yung trustworthiness ng distributor. Isa sa may maraming bad feedback ay Peak Motors.

Toyota Innova.

Innova fits your needs although 8 balikbayan boxes may be difficult to pack in.

sa everest 2.5 m/t ako. kaso medyo malayo sa price range mo.

sa auv naman, bagal sobra ng adventure. so no to adventure. pasok nga sa budget mo kaya lang peyborit ng mga green boys na parahin sa kalye (sama sa L300, parehas ng makina). so mag-montero sport ka na lang kung mitsu gusto mo (cheapest among the suv). add ka nga lang ng 200k sa budget. downside ng montero is makitid siya, pinakamakitid sa lahat ng mga suv (vs. fortuner, everest, alterra, trailblazer, sta fe, sorento, etc)

pumapangalawa sa bagal ang crosswind, pero mas malaki at more suv-like ang proma. malapit lang sa budget mo yung crosswind XUV (add ka 50k). medyo mausok din lalo na kung naka-2 taon na. meron pa nga ako nakikita na brand new wala pa plaka umuusok na, kaya mainit din sa mata ng mga smoke belching check points.

OT: 1.220M na pala ang crosswind sportivo! ano kala nila dun, SUV? ano ba hinihitit ng mga taga isuzu?

ang pasok talaga e innova. hindi siya suv, auv siya. at di rin siya gaano malaki para sa cargo requirements mo. 7 seater siya kung 3 payat ang nasa 2nd row, pero pag normal na adult siguruhin mo na very close sila (mag-syota saka yung best friend na nakiki-holding hands sa likod ng girl/guy).
