I think the direct competition is the Xpander? Not sure if I'd say that has a better ride, but Zigwheels did seem to like the slightly taller Xpander Cross.

Maybe the Stargazer?

If I had one thing to say about that class of car, it's "you get what you pay for". When you ask for a 3-row 7-seater for only around P1M, compromises have to be made.
One of those is the engine because moving 7 people and their stuff is a lot to ask for from a ~100hp 1.5li, next is the chassis and suspension. NVH is going to be worse, ride is going to be worse. And of course the interior. Don't expect soft-touch plastics or proper leather.
