    They scrimped on that maybe because of the competition. The avanza and ertiga both have 4-speed a/t too. Not sure about the br-v and mobilio but the upcoming rush also has 4-speed.

    4a/t is bullet proof, besides, xpander is equipped with overdrive that allows the engine to operate at a lower RPM for a given road speed to achieve better fuel efficiency, and often quieter operation on the highway.

    nice to know.
    now, let's wait for actual in-country reviews by actual owners, for confirmation.
    there's no telling what stripped-down or souped-up variant the manufacturer will choose to ship over...

    Yes Doc, indeed..But as per my observation, its third row is wider than the previous montero. Among BRV, Xpander, Ertiga and Avanza, pinaka naliitan ako sa Ertiga. Ang ayoko lang sa Xpander e yung side skirts.hehe.nagmukang boxy, mas maganda siguro pag wala yon.

    Well this is just based on specs not on actual driving experience.
