Planning to get another hybrid next year (to replace our Honda City)

(As of today) Presently looking at the Yaris Cross HEV and the Sealion 6

Price: ₱ 1,610,000 vs ₱ 1,548,000
- Yaris Cross is 62K more expensive.
There's word that Toyota has heavily discounted the Yaris Cross, but I haven't contacted our agent to confirm this as next year pa namin plan bumili.

Yaris Cross (AC200) uses the DNGA-B Platform
Sealion 6 (aka Song Plus) uses the DM-i 5.0 Platform

Big plus na plug-in hybrid ang Sealion 6 - pero we live in a condo and we can't install a charger in our parking slot.

Based on my research - if you don't plug the Sealion 6, owners are reporting to get around 20km/l (around 14-17km/l yung Zenix namin and I'm hoping na di lalayo gaano yung Yaris Cross)

With the Yaris Cross - it may NOT have the same Toyota reliability, pero you get that Toyota badge, local support and parts availability.

Not sure how the Ayala's will handle BYD in the future. I'm happy with our Honda (and Honda Makati) pero I've heard horror stories from Kia and VW owners.

Having been inside both cars.

Sealion 6 has a better interior. Pero it was the same feeling and observation I had when the Coolray and Territory were new.

Yaris Cross is way smaller.

Sealion 6 accelerates better compared to the Yaris Cross (that uses a CVT).

Honestly, if the Yaris Cross was priced at 1.4M, the decision would have been easier.
