i think i go for Grand Livina, i like the looks and features... at kung tataas pa lalo ang diesel.. cguro marami na mag si shift sa GL sabi nga mas tipid raw ito sa Fuel.
^^Meron ding gas na Innova so kung tumaas man diesel nandyan din yung VVTi version.... And I wouldn't be too keen on getting the D4D Innova anayway heard some bad stories about it...
hi SA here hehe,
here are some info regarding GL why is it fuel efficient;
1. CVTC - keeps engine at optimum performance to maximize fuel usage..
2. ALL ALUMINUM ENGINE BLOCK - for lighter weight (almost 25KG lighter than the usual).
3. MICROFINISHING - (crankshaft and bore) for less friction.
4. DRIVE BY WIRE - for more precise fuel metering and flow, better engine mgt.
5. LOWER CENTER OF GRAVITY - better handling and balance.
6. FRONT INTAKE ENGINE LAY OUT - helps in fuel flow mgt in tune with cvtc.
7. ELECTRONIC FULLY AUTO 4 SPEED TRANS - delivers power consistently to the wheels by taking to engine via comp link.
8. ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) - (e2 pinaka da best) takes away the power-robbing hydraulic pump from the engine for better fuel economy.
9. ALL NEW 6 SPEED M/T - short-throw close-ratio m/t gearbox provides the best driver control fuel economy.
10. RIPLE SHOCK ABSORBERS- (350z technology) good shock stroke also keeps the ride smooth and balanced and drives very dynamic.
GL doesnt need dual aircon like innova kc number 1 nga lng ung aircon sisipunin ka na hehe exagg!
pero kung gus2 mo lumamig yung 3rd and 2nd row tingala mo lng ng konti un 2 middle vents tapos number 2 or 3 mo un aircon abot na hanggang likod un.
