    If I had a P1.5M budget and could spend every last centavo of it on a car, I would go for the Hyundai Santa Fe. It's a very roomy 7-seater with all the amenities that you would need. The Kia Carnival EX CRDi is also a good choice for a family car since it comfortably seats eight (with all the nice amenities like food/drink trays etc

    But since my budget is only P1M (and I'm not really willing to spend more for a car), I decided to go for the Kia Carens, which is also a 7-seater (albeit a bit tighter) and only has driver-side airbag. But it has what I feel is a very efficient 2.0L CRDi VGT engine.

    Starex can be a good candidate.

    Innova V d-4d has dual airbags and yet much lower than 1.5M.
    the fort 3.0 V and the Santa Fe GLS 2.2 CRDi 4X4 but over 1.5M

    Oops, my bad. In that case, I would go for either the Carnival EX CRDi SWB (which I think is priced at P1,460,000) or the Innova V D4D (which is priced at around P1,100,000 I think).

    With those specs and price range... you can choose from Kia Carnival, Kia Sorento or Hyundai Sta. Fe...
    For me, I choose Kia Carens but walang airbags....
