Avanza G or Innova J? What to buy?

[a4Tech]

First and foremost i would like to say you have an excellent and informational forum here. I'm a longtime lurker and decided to join so that you can help me arrive to a vehicle purchase decision.

I'm choosing between the above models for my purchase. This will be my first ride. My passengers would be my wife + 3 kids (7,3 & 2 mo. old) and a yaya. We normally travel to batangas 2x a month, other than that bahay office lang.

Since i'm a new car owner i'm really clueless on what to buy and haven't visited any toyota dealer because i want na meron na akong alam na konti pag punta dun.

Another question is that if i get it for example at 40% downpayment what other fees do i have to pay, so that i will know my total cash out.

40% downpayment:

Avanza G - P295,000
Innova J - P305,200

Thanks and more power.

I'd go for the Innova, as it's roomier. Still, it's not as roomy as a Crosswind (the XTO is in the same price bracket), but it's okay, I guess, if your yaya will be comfortable riding in the third row with the luggage.

The Avanza is big enough, actually, but there's no space for cargo.

Best bet? Take the whole family along and go to the showroom to check how it fits.

I'd go with the Innova J with the 2.0L VVT-i engine please and manual transmission.

It is roomier, has a better engine, good power-to-weight ratio, longer wheelbase (which will translate to a better ride), etc.

Aside from the downpayment, you also need to pay the first year's comprehensive insurance, 3 years LTO registration fee, & chattel mortgage fee (since you are getting one in installment terms).

i agree with mazdamazda, it is jut bigger and suitable for your growing family. however, not same standard features.. G is top of line compare to J

correct me if i'm wrong, pero di'ba yun innova j yun bare na wala man lang power amenities. i'd choose the avanza G over that.

Welcome to tsikot. I’d go with the Avanza G being the top of the line.
If it’s going to be against the Innova E or G I’d choose the Innova instead.
