depende sa srp, kung ang lowest trim nito ay dikit sa innova price eh sigurado may mahigpit na kalaban ang innova.. para lang sa mga buyer na ok kahit hind popular toyota brand.

Definitely malayo ang specs ng innova d2. ang tanong how bare is barest model na dadalhin dito sa Pinas. Magkano naman kaya???

actually i'm cross-shopping this one with CX-5 or MZ6 (if it ever comes with SkyActiv-D w/i-Stop & i-Eloop); and 2013 Sorento CRDi.... or even 2013 Accent Hatchback CRDi..... i know these are all different Groups/Class but the common thing is the Torque diesel...

sa planned changes ay :
* Cab forward design, should make it even more roomy than before...
i hope though that all that space goes to the 3rd bench legroom.
* top of the line diesel is only 1.7li CRDi? though somewhat same paper specs as the outgoing 2.0li CRDi,
only a test drive will determine if its still got some poke under the hood or not...

ang tagal nya naman dumating, i need a new(er) car soon!

If its Priced like the Old Entry level AT Carens:
CARENS 2.0L CRDI LX AT Php 949,000.00

Then we have a contender versus the Innova E AT.

Sa higher end ibang usapan na cause you go nearer the SUV prices.

I wonder when Kia will introduce it here? I noticed that they already took out the Carens from their website... does this mean they discontinued the line locally or is it in preparation for the relaunch?

Also, in the pictures of the interior, I noticed that the 2nd row have two "captain" seats with an armrest with cupholders in the middle? So, this is strictly a 6-seater? Or will there be a version with a full 2nd row seat?

The 2nd row seats will be 3 folding/sliding seats split 33/33/33 while the 3rd row will be 50/50. Officially, it's still a seven seater mpv..
