Shocked with LTO registration hyudai elantra

[1D4LV]

this is correct. my 2011 altis 1.6 is registered under the medium category.

Bumibigat na rin talaga ang mga oto ngayon with all the newfangled electronic and safety doodads.

And when you compare the subcompacts of today to the compacts a generation ago halos singlaki na sila.

so that's what that block meant! in my 2005 CR, that block is empty! they did not bother to put anything in the space!
and in my older car, i.e., 1997, that block does not exist.
ah well.. learned something new today.

only 2 reasons. either the LTO/DOTC is clueless what's the difference between a sub-compact, compact, mid size etc..of car denomination or they're aware pero ginawawang lang tayong milking cow. another highway robbery to all motorist by LTO

Quite a negative way to look at it. It has nothing to do with the LTO being stupid or corrupt.

The LTO's vehicle classification is based on gross vehicle weight ranges. As posted previously, if GVW is above 1600 kg, it's automatically classified as medium.

With the way cars are becoming porkier every generation, most compacts will really fall into the medium category. 😊

the lto uses gvw as the basis because road use (or its wear and tear, cost of maintenance) is more directly proportional to the weight of the vehicle than its size.

i think they know.
if memory serves right, there was confusion before, as to what criteria are to be used.. weight versus engine displacement. i believe they finally decided on vehicle weight, to make it easy and non-controversial.
it is us-the-carowners, who do not bother... basta punta sa LTO, stencil.. wait for name to be called, pay the amount told us, and leave, happy the experience is over.

oo nga. i find that, "funny".
i would have charged according to weight, 'ala passenger car. after all, whether passenger car or utility vehicle, its heavier weight does translate roughly to road wear and tear. i would not have created a "utility vehicle" category at all, and just used the passenger car category.
