Suv / Crossover 1M or below

[nin]

Hi Guys. Need some advice / recommendations for an SUV or crossover priced at 1m or below. I am not very particular with the brand.

Preference:
1) Great handling
2) Automatic
3) Will be used mainly for city & motorway driving with occasional long trips (i.e manila to baguio)
4) AWD or 4x4 capabilities would be great (with 1M budget I'm pushing my luck here)

Thanks in advance

haha...this is actually what I have been wanting especially for its off road credibility. Only downside is its low in terms of family practicality.

Check ssangyong tivoli.

Actually my wife likes the tivoli and has some good reviews especially on practicality. Will try to read the forums here. thanks. By the way I saw the latest model in Singapore last month and they really look like premium cars. I did not even know they were Ssaangyong.

Was actually planning to get a used car but alot of my friends and my wife says it will give me headaches (i.e maintenance & repair) and will end up paying for more. Know any reputable shops to buy used cars? I'm not really good technically.

This I think is the 1st on the list with Tivoli....I see a lot of them in the Philippines. Does it have the same legendary great handling of the ford fiesta?

Only concern on buying the 2016 model is that they will release a refreshed 2017 model.

If you plan to stay strictly under 1M, it's a toss up between the Juke and Ecosport. Between the two, the Ecosport Trend is cheaper, but I'd say the Juke is the better car overall.

Both are cramped, but both have the increased ride height that most people look for in a crossover. I prefer the Juke because I like its quirky styling more, and its CVT is smoother than the rough-in-traffic transmission of the Ecosport.

There are left field choices like the Haima S5, but I wouldn't risk it.

Guess your right....Juke is quite famous in Singapore only downside is the space & cargo volume. Saw the Haima S5 last week and to be honest it does look good and premium for the price. Anybody here owns this?

Honda br-v might be ok. Not yet sure if the price will be a stone throw away from 1m.

Thanks. This is a new model? Will check it out.

Oh yeah forgot about the BRV. That's a great contender for 1M as well, especially if you appreciate the 7 seats.

This caught my attention as I was not really looking at any Honda vehicles lately.

Yup,- sure looks okay with me. At least, IMO, it is not forced-fit like the Honda Mobilio.... Hope that it stays below P1M to directly compete with these two. With a 7-seater,- you have extra options with your ride.

And again IMO,- there are no "real contenders" with the Ford Ecosport in this narrow market segment. The CX3 is just a disappointment in their market positioning strategy. [The Juke's look is still beyond my mortal me]. I wonder why the car manufacturers are "ignoring" this market segment...

First pass,- I'd go for this BR-V anytime vs. the Ecosport.

[Juke,- if somebody's going to offer as a gift.... ]

Most frugal too in the 1m club.
