    At that budget range, i'd look at a slightly used Starex CRDi. You can get a '05 to '06 model at around 850K.

    If brand new, an Innova or Kia Carens. The Innova has a better 3rd row seating space AFAIK.

    +1. If you're open to slightly used, go for a Starex GRX CRDi (SWB version, seats 9 heavier-than-average-Asians very comfortably).

    The Kia Carens with CRDI engine is a shade under P900k. It's got a 6 speed manual tranny. It seats 7 average-Asians ok, and drives like a car.

    The Innova E MT D-4D or G MT D-4D come to around P1M. It's not as fast as the Carens, but it's no snail. It seats 7 average-Asians more comfortably than the Carens, IMO, because of a slightly bigger last row.

    The Crosswind will seat at least 7. But unlike the 3 previously mentioned, whose 3 rows all face forward, the Crosswind's behind 2nd row seats face sidewards. According to Crosswind owners, it's quite thrifty, but it is slow and old, compared to the competition.

    There are quite a few threads with some good discussions on these options. You can use the search function to look for them. Good luck.
