    Hi all,

    Am looking for a good daily drive that is A/T, SMALL, TALL and DIESEL.

    So far, I can only think of Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, and Kia Soul (although Kia Soul is not that tall, but higher than sedan).

    I heard of Honda possibly having a small diesel-fed SUV/CUV, but not confirmed.

    Do you know of other choices, or new coming models that satisfies the requirement - A/T, SMALL, TALL and DIESEL.

    Thanks.

    Do you mean ride height by tall or ground clearance? Wait for 2016, a lot of small diesel Euro IV engines will come out.

    Ground clearance for flash floods, potholes and avoiding steep parking ramps and humps.

    Soul has a low ground clearance similar to sedans. It's also one of the widest in its class.

    Ground clearance is fairly low, but the driving position on the Soul is high. My Swift technically has higher ground clearance than my Soul (165 vs 170 mm), but inside the Soul the driver sits as tall as most CUVs. Yes, even if comparing the Soul with stock 16" wheels and the Swift already on upgraded 17" wheels, the Soul is still noticeably taller.

    If the stock ground clearance isn't enough, you can always upsize your wheels like I did. I have the old Soul, but it shouldn't be different from the new Soul in this aspect.



    In terms of exterior dimensions. It's definitely on the small side. It's just 4.1 meters long, shorter than subcompact sedans like the Vios and City, but slightly longer than superminis like the Swift and Jazz.

    P.S. The Hyundai i20 Active diesel is overpriced in the Philippines. For about the same price as the Soul: 1) The i20 is nowhere as spacious as the Soul. 2) The i20 only has a 1.4 diesel while the Soul has a 1.6. 3) The driver doesn't sit as high on the i20 compared to the Soul. 4) The i20 diesel is only available in manual while the Soul has a 6 speed AT with manual mode.

    19" on 235/40/R19 Accelera Phi tires. Ride is still surprisingly good thanks to these tires. Far more quiet and composed compared to the 205/55/R16 Bridgestone Ecopia EP200 it replaced.
