    Isuzu alterra:
    Maximum output (PS/rpm): 146 / 3800
    Maximum torque (NM/rpm): 294 / 1400 - 3400

    Toyota Fortuner:
    Maximum output (PS/rpm): 163 / 3400
    Maximum torque (NM/rpm): 242 / 1400 - 3200

    Mitsubishi Montero:
    Maximum output (PS/rpm): 163 / 3500
    Maximum torque (NM/rpm): 343 / 2000

    Ford Everest:
    Maximum output (PS/rpm): 156 / 3200
    Maximum torque (NM/rpm): 380 / 1800


    Based on above, Isuzu Alterra has the lowest hp and torque at a higher rpm compared to the other SUVs?

    Does that mean is is the least powerful among the 4? Am I reading this right?

    Really depends on how heavy the alterra is. But I doubt it will be much lighter than the competitors you mentioned. Yes it is less powerful.

    Yes the least powerful engine with regards to peak torque and peak horsepower but you also need to consider driveline loss as these quoted figures are from the flywheel. Until you see the vehicle's output from a chassis dyno and see how the horsepower curve matches torque you won't really get an idea how these will perform against each other.

    Just drove my Alterra thru NLEX, and managed to race with a GLS Montero. It was overtaking me from the right side and nung pumantay, sinabayan ko na. Naiwanan ako . Grabe ang bilis ng Montero. Must be running at 150 kph or so because I reached 140 kph, my top speed to date.

    But as a note, I was driving with caution naman, being told by my dealer that until my Alterra reaches 5000 km mileage, I should not go over 3000 rpm. It was 2800-2900 rpm when I got to 140 kph.

    By the way, my fuel efficiency registered an impressive 13.3 KM/L, from Ortigas Center to San Fernando Pampanga and back.

    Kung kasali ang Santa Fe
    Maximum output (PS/rpm): 197 / 3800
    Maximum torque (NM/rpm): 436 / 1800-2500

    Sir Patsys50,

    Sooner or later Sir you will love your Alterra because of it's ride and durability. Even though the specs might say that the Alterra is the least powerful, my 2005 Teri has been proven already that it can attain speed of 195 kph even though it is already 5 years old. I consider that as amazingly powerful enough for me!!!

    I'm really impressed with the Alterra. At first when I saw that the Alterra's engine gives only 146hp, I was expecting it to be really slow, especially since its a really big car. But when I started reading posts here from different people who have taken it to speeds of 195km/h, I was like and ! If it is really so, then I'm sure the Trooper, having 14 more horses and a smaller body should be capable of such speeds as well? Especially since it said here that the Alterra reaches 140km/h at 2800-2900rpm (cruising nalang ba yan? or hinahataw pa pataas?) when our Trooper cruises at 140km/h with the tach at around 2500rpm.

    Yes the Alterra is the least powerful. Others may say that they've achieved high speeds with it, but then again owners of the other SUVs will also have similar high speed runs.

    If you really want a fast 7-seater, the Santa Fe by a considerable margin is faster than all of these.

    word of caution lang before doing your high speed runs, check the speed rating of your tires. maaring kaya ng makina pero baka magka tire failure at high speed. medyo delikado sa suv, lalo na pag medyo luma na ang tires

    btt, i think designed ang makina ng alterra for efficiency rather than performance

Alterra's power vs other SUVs?
