    ^Isn't Centro the only manufacturer for the passenger cab of the i-van?

    They usually make decent (better than Metro truck or Almazora) cargo shells for vans.

    But it would seem that they didn't do a good job with this one. Poor instructions and designing on Isuzu's part?

    Nahirapan sila gawin yung sliding door, kaya large swing door na lang daw

    Diba ang Urvan ay locally assembled? This would mean that manufacturers and assemblers in the Philippines are well capable of making sliding doors: which have been around since the time of the VW Bus, by the way.

    Even L300 Versa Van have sliding doors.

    It could be cost cutting measures since a sliding door involves engineering and special parts. And they (isuzu and centro) could have easily copied it through reverse engineering from so many sources anyway.

    Urvan and L300 is locally assemble pero yung machine para sa molding naka design na galing Japan, yung body ng I-van local design,pansin ko lang kahit mga surplus door marami pa ding imports na dapat siguro sa atin na or centro na ang gumagawa, yung pictures ni doc from previous post na dyna truck dapat siguro ganung design sa door ang ginawa ng I-Van, ang nangyari shortcut at hindi convinient para gawing shuttle service

    Drivers and passengers have different takes on this topic. The thread title appears to focus on the PASSENGER side so I'll be posting my comments as a passenger.

    - If we are talking about the Urvan, I would like the Estate model better than the shuttle or escapade since the aircon vents are properly distributed as opposed to the shuttles/escapades. I also like the individual reclining seats of the urvan estate (the escapade also has it excluding the last row).
    - I find the urvan shuttle really cramped and a solution for better aircon circulation is to install a yokohama blower at the middle part (which is also being done to the hiace commuter). Somehow, there was a point where I managed to sleep in a shuttle en route to Manila from Batangas.
    - As for the hiace commuter, it's even MORE cramped and the ride is way too harsh, especially if you're on the last row. I rode one from Manila to Baler, Aurora (as a passenger) thinking I'd be able to sleep but hell, I can't find a good position plus the added harsh, harsh ride. BAD experience!
    - I saw the I-van on display during the clark event and parang pinilit lang na gawing passenger van. The seats will give you a first impression of not being comfy at all plus the swinging passenger door for me is a big no-no! As far as its design, looks like it'll be one hell of a noisy ride (tried closing the swinging doors and HINDI MAGANDA ANG LAPAT). Checked the underside and it still kept the truck suspension. Feeling ko mas harsh pa ang magiging ride compared sa hiace commuter. I won't even try riding in one.


    If I had a choice as a passenger, I'd choose the urvan estate any time of the day. Kahit isama pa nila yung super grandia, the urvan estate wins for me.


    Now if I were a driver and wouldn't care about how my passenger feels, I'd probably drive the hiace as it's responsive and frugal as far as diesel costs are concerned.

    tama ka otep.. medium duty lng din yang mb100 nyo.. pwde din hauler since 2.9liters sya.. how about ung isuzu highlander?a lot of them until now being used as gt express service.. heavy duty in medium category just like urs.. mlamang ung mga hilanders na un nasa 800k or 1,000,000k km n yan.. without having major problems since timing gears din cla.... truck based b ang mb van nyo? e ung mga isuzu products are all truck based.. di ganun k komprtable,pinakamaingay,vibrate,mabagal watever sabihin nyo, pero ang makina nyan, 2 the highest level reliability nyan.. dun sa medium duty na urvan, pwde din nmn tlg gamitn sa ambulance un..kc mabilis nman sya compare sa hi-ace, even sa isuzu i-van na ito.. pero nsubukan mu na cgro sumakay sa 18seater na urvan at hi-ace... ewan q 4 me, ms malamig sa hi-ace... asan na pinagmamalaki ng nissan na sila ang may pinakamalamig na aircon?pang 12-15 seater lng ata malamig aircon ng urvan eh.. pag 18 na talo cla ng hi-ace.. take note, 1600 kg paylod ng dalawang yan compare sa 2200+kg payload ng isuzu i-van..

    syempre pareng otep, sabi mu kanina 2000kg payload with almost no luggage room... true nakita q s specs na 2200kg payload ng isuzu i-van... palagay mu panu mlalagyan ng luggage yan?common sense syempre ifofold ung mga upuan.. or pagawa k ng ibang configuration.. centro kc ngdesign ng body ng i-van.. sabi nga nila truck and chasis lng bilhin mu, then pagawa m sa labas ung van body.. pacustomize mu sa 21-24 seater ms mkktipid k pa daw.. tignan mu ilang pics ng i-van sa facebook... nlalagyan ng luggage ung likod.. bakit ung hi-ace o urvan na puro front facing, una masasabi mo, wla lagayn ng lugage sa likod.. syempre i fold mu pra mgkaron..ay sus nman..


    ung toyota van-dyna na yan?anu daw payload capacity nyan?experimental nlng yan.. d naman kc truck maker ang toyota... sa daan pa lang mgsurvey ka ng mga trucks, anu2 mga brand nakikita mo? di nmn sa minamaliit ko yang dyna, pero 4 sure ms heavy duty ang isuzu.. kita mu, sino ung tinapik ng toyota pra mkpg collaborate sa diesel engine?nissan diesel ba?mitsubishi?hino? ISUZU po...!! bakit? cla lng namn #1 diesel engine producer at truck maker.... ibig sbihin ko ba eh wla kwenta toyota diesel engine?>hindi po.. ang punto d2, mkkpgcollaborate cla sa isuzu para m2lungan cla sa diesel powered car.. kumbaga hingi cla sa diesel experts... dagdag lang ba..

    bgo aq mgcomment ulit, repeat ko lng ung side q d2 sa 2 na van sa topic.. ms bagay pang business ang urvan kc ms madami gmagamit nun... simple, mechanical engine less maintenance... on the other hand, hi-ace a little bit luxurious in design, has advantage on aircon, comfort.. i dont know sa speed....

    actually pra sakin, tolerable naman ang tagtag ng isuzu since hi-lander pa.... khit truck based sya ok lng naman.. kung sa mga jeep nga nkktulog aq e d hamak ms mtagtag pa mga jip db? khit nmn mga hi ace at urvan, may tagtag din, di nga lng kcng lakas gaya ng isuzu.. e mggawa natin truck based yan.. and mjo mssugest lng natin sa I-VAN is sna gawing sliding door ung pinto kc hndi mkkpg park sa makipot na slot..at mjo taasan ung body ground clearance.... other than that ok na naman.. sa engine, wla na dpat pgusapan jan..d most reliable "old school" ika nga but supreme heavy duty.. they also got mala truck suspensions.. now with flexiride.. mjo dagdag comfort..

    ung urvan nga pg 18 pax ung sakay nghihingalo na ung aircon eh...

Better Passenger Van? Nissan Urvan Or Toyota Hi-ace Commuter or others?
