SUV to replace 2008 CRV (budget 1.6m)

**gege21** · August 25th, 2012 09:22 PM

Hi guys! Can you suggest an SUV that's worth the money? Preferably those that just came out with a new model. Our budget is around the 1.6 mark. Our current CRV is in very good condition but my dad usually replaces cars after 4 years of use.

We already have a Prado, X5 and a CX9 so we want something that's unlike those.

Thanks!

Yes that looks really good! I've been browsing nga kanina and saw that. Called an unofficial hyundai dealer a couple of hours ago and the price range is around 1.9-2.250M. Have yet to call Hyundai as their offices are already closed. We'll definitely consider that if it's within the price you've listed! Thanks!

Some CUVs that are within the budget.

Nissan XTrail 4WD - 1.550M

Mazda CX5

Kia Sportage

For the SUVs there goes the common Fortuner, Montero Sport, Kia Sorento, Ford Everest etc.

IMO among the local SUV lineup under 1M, it's the Santa Fe that looks best.

yep, 2013 santa fe. but boycott HARI! buy from gray market only.

ot. the xtrail's roof rail is ugly, what were nissan designers thinking?

Searched the net for Santa Fe dealers and found quite a few! Checked the features and Santa Fe's pretty much our choice now :D

To sir *Yebo: Why po? What're the pros and cons of buying from HARI vs gray market? Thanks!

Go check on Hancars. ;)

I've seen their garage/showroom and there were new gen SFs parked there.

You might have to wait for them to release the lowest end Santa Fe, though. Yun lang kasi pasok sa budget niyo.

Check on the Veloster Turbo as well while you're at it.
