Toyota Innova 2.8 G Diesel AT vs Geely Okavango 1.5 Urban Plus

[Verbl Kint]

• MPV vs Pseudo-SUV

• Diesel vs "Mild" Hybrid

• Toyota reliability vs Chinese luxury

• Best-seller in SEA vs top upstart brand



Which one would you pick and why?

My problem with the Okavango is that it only uses a mild-hybird

if it was a normal hybrid system, then the comparison will be interesting since it will be able to match the Innova's fuel consumption.

if you're looking for comfort and luxury (feel), then the Okavango wins.

My neighbor has an Okavango and I can easily recommend it to anyone. But if the money is coming from my pocket, I'll personally choose the Innova.

Innova for me.. yung top of the line with captain chairs..

Sa porma may laban okavango...pogi din naman.. pero innova pa din.. RWD pa ayos talaga as utility and family use

Okavango obviously, no questions asked.

Lalo na ngayon mas mahal na diesel. Lol

Makes sense. It’s more feature-packed with enough space and priced competitively. If it had a Toyota badge on it, you might be looking at a price more than a top-spec Innova.

Aside from the fuel frugality of a turbo diesel and Toyota reliability, there is not much going on with the Innova aside from its interior cargo space. It is not a pretty car to be honest. If it had a China badge on it with its SRP, I seriously doubt it would sell as much.

Yung mga Chinese cars parang babae yan na maganda pero hindi pangmatagalan. Pamparada lang hehe.

Yung Innova, yan yung babae na papakasalan mo at kasama habangbuhay at hindi ka iiwan [emoji1]

[_Qwerty_]

The Okavango is turning out to be more common within where I live (BF Homes Parañaque). I have observed that there are more Okavangos compared to Coolrays or any of those Chinese MPVs or SUVs. I guess these buyers didn’t buy them impulsively.

japanese/toyota muna.
i'd probably wait a few more years, for until we get longer-term feedback from chinese car users.

a few years ago, my relative purchased a korean car.
from his kuwentos, it seems, his newer korean car is not as reliable as his 20+ year old japanese car.

The Okavango is a great family mover. It is a Chinese brand, sure, but once you ride inside it really does seem like a far more expensive vehicle for the price.

And while the Innova is a best-seller, there are quite a few UV Express Innovas which kinda removes the upmarket sheen from it (although you can be sure that parts are aplenty).

actually, for me the biggest question is how do you maintain your current car.

If your car is casa maintained, then the Okavango is a good alternative.

Innova? - the car will survive even if you don't send it for PMS

[TsekwangBakla]

Kelangan naman maganda rin pakasalan mo. Hehehehe

Hindi rin hehe. Kung maganda lang standard sa babaeng papakasalan, napakawalang kwentang lalaki yun.

Saka king maganda lang papakasalan, iilan babae may asawa [emoji23]

I disagree (although jackpot ako kay misis, hahaha)

kung maganda lang hanap ng lalaki sa babae, ibig sabihin kaya ng lalaki gastusan lahat ng gusto at kailangan ni misis!

Just like the Okavango.

Maintenance sa casa. regular dapat PMS. kung kaya mo gastusan, then magandang car sya.

pero kung maintenance mo is kapag may nasira lang... then dun tayo sa practical.

[TsekwangBakla]

Hehe Maintenance sa casa? Lokohan yan. Gatasan ng casa yung mga walang alam sa pag maintain ng kotse.

Para sa akin lang naman, yan gustong gusto ng casa, yung mga nagpapaloko sa kanila na kesyo mawawala warranty at kung ano ano pa.

in fairness,

pms is preventive maintenance service.
it's to prevent breakdowns, usually by replacing items before they break down.
sometimes, replacement schedule is more about time or km, and not "how it looks or feels".
for obvious reasons, they're very meticulous about these in airplanes.
sometimes it may appear that they're too meticulous on cars. but that's probably a personal thing...

one can always decline the casa's proposed course of replacement activity...

Ako naman. Yes its PMS, before masira, papalitan na.

Pero siguro matanda na ako.

I prefer to just bring the car sa casa tapos balikan ko na lang sa hapon kapag tapos na.

Compared to other mechanics, gas stations and service station na tatanungin pa ako kung anong gagawin... Kung wala kang swerte, ikaw pa hahanap ng parts!

I used to do my own repairs nung 20-30 years old ako... Then I realized na di pala kamahalan sa gas station/servitek/rapide... Later, mas convenient pala sa casa na lang.
