1. Mas malakas siyempre new technology so Hi-Ace panalo dyan.
2. Mas malakas Nissan AC pero pero, hindi naman mahina AC nang Toyota. Hindi dapat deal breaker yan. Trust me.
3. Siyempre Toyota Hi-ace mas matipid. Malayo sa Nissan Urvan FC nila.
4. Tingin ko in the long run mas mura Nissan Urvan. But alaga sa oil filter at fuel filter lang need nang Toyota para matibay din makina. Sa ibang parts, mas mura Toyota kung replacements pag-uusapan. Mas madami din.
5. Puwede pero, pangit. Hindi yan designed dyan.
6. Hi-Ace siyempre. Urvan pupuwede lang kapag sobrang pangit fuel quality sa lugar niyo.

panu kapag yung urvan estate?

If you are not in a hurry, hintayin nyo na lang yung bagong NV350. Inuubos na lang nila ang inventories ng last gen Urvan at ilalabas na nila ang next gen Nissan Urvan (NV350).

Technologically, mas ok na ang new gen Urvan. The way I understand it it's the same engine but modernized and modified to be "Clean Diesel" and is fully Euro 4 compliant. Better FC as well. The Engine from the Hiace is still only just Euro2. Meron din syang Particulate filter so you can still use Euro2 or suspicious "dirty" diesel found on provinces w/o worries.

By 2016, all fuel stations should be Euro 4 compliant. Why settle for a non-Euro 4 engine? And who knows when will a politician start to implement to phase out non Euro-4 diesel engines. So, whether this is for the long-haul or you plan to sell after 5 years or so baka mahirapan na rin kayo maibenta yan as a 2nd-hand. Either that or the resale value would be significantly lower since it's only a Euro2 engine and perceived as a liability by the time you sell it.

mr. iceblue yup nakita ko na dito sa qatar yung nv350 halos ksing porma ng commuter, kaya lang yung look nya sa side parang hindi ako nagagandahan,

salamat sa reply

[jhune garcia]

mr. ry tower salamat sa reply mo,

mga sir, go na ako sa hi ace commuter, aprove na rin ng bangko application ko,
anu pa po ba ang concern sa hi ace commuter? wala po kase ako sa pinas ngayon
ipapalabas ko lang a father ko.

Power - Hiace
AC - Not sure as I dont know if the Commuter has the same AC vent layout as the Grandia and Super Grandia which are both good.
FC - Hiace
Maintenance - for the regular service quits lang. If you encounter fuel system problems or more complicated issues, the Urvan, being an oldschool diesel should be simpler to maintain in the long run.

Between the two, for personal use definitely Hiace as im happy with our Grandia but for business use or pangharabas, then id probably consider the Urvan more.

[rna800]

I don't own any of those vans, sir, pero based from my experiences in riding in them, as a passenger I would choose the Urvan.

If I will sit infront of the Commuter, ok lang. Pero the back is torture. Ang sikip ng leg room, ang tigas ng shocks. In fact I would prefer riding in the old Hiace Grandia kaysa sa Commuter. Nakakahilo.

The Urvan is better, well, way better for me. Mas maganda ang layout ng seats and legs have more room. Then ride is softer and parang akong dinuduyan.

Aircon, parang pareho lang in terms of coolness.

The only advantage of the Commuter for me is the looks. Mas gusto ko ang looks ng Commuter kaysa sa Urvan. No match ang Urvan for me in the looks dept. The Commuter has a boxy appeal na mas nagagadahan akong tignan kaysa sa looks ng Urvan na mukhang malamya. Then based from sitting in the front seat, parang mas matibay ang pakiramdam ko sa Commuter kaysa sa Urvan. Though I don't know the crash ratings of those vehicles, parang mas safe ang paki ramdam ko sa Commuter when I sat in the front seat.

Sa power, I haven't driven one but sa feel lang, parang mas malakas at mas mabilis mag accelerate ang Commuter either uphill or plain. Ang Urvan slow and steady and dahan dahan naggi gain ng momentum. Ang Commuter, ang bilis niya kaagad lalo kung mga 80 to 120 kph lang ang takbuhan.

So for me, if I want a passenger van, I would choose the Urvan. And I agree with sir vinj, for personal use, sa Commuter ako.

Well, the Grandia GL and Super Grandia are different story. If you put them in the picture, I wouldn't even look at the Urvan and Commuter.

[jhune garcia]

salamat sa mga sagot nyo mga boss,

[iceblue]

BTW, for those who have watched today's Eat Bulaga Jose Manalo was being makulit and 'threw' himself to the bonnet of a Hiace. Nag dent agad sya. As in lumubog talaga. Halos sabay2x nga kami na nanood na nag comment na ang lambot naman pala ng nguso ng HiAce. Nasa Youtube na siguro ang episode ng Eat Bulaga today kaya kung gusto nya makita gaano ka lambot ang bonnet ng HiACe panoorin nyo ginawa ni Jose Manalo.

On a side note this also reminded me of a Starex whose A/C was being serviced in an aircon specialist store. Nilabas nila yung front bumper. Marami rin silang mga panels sa interior na kailangan buksan para i-expose yung mga wiring or siguro yung daanan ng A/C pipings. Halos i-dismantle nila ang interior para lang i-expose. Parang papel lang sa gaang yung front bumper. Grabe, nagulat ako. It reminded me of a prop boulder stone in plays where you can just carry the whole thing it in a single hand. Sabi ko nga sa sarili ko kung nandun siguro yung 3 y.o. niece ko siguro kaya nya buhatin yun magisa.

Yun lang. FYI lang. Di ko alam kung sa Nissan Urvan ganun din.

[smallbig]

Agree ako dito, plus ang Urvan ay merong 21 seater na mga 1.2M lang.

Pero pag pang-family, ok ang Hiace

1. Hiace. Modern commonrail turbocharged engine versus old school non-turbo of the Urvan.
2. Nakalimutan ko, yung rear air vents ba ng Hiace sa 2nd row lang, o umaabot hanggang likod? Yung sa Urvan malamig nga pero minsan yung likod hindi naaabutan ng hangin.
3. Hiace. Again, modern engine trumps old school rotary type fuel injection. The difference will be quite clear when you're climbing Baguio, where the extra power is much appreciated. Old school diesels may be fuel efficient on a flat surface, but they become very thirsty on the slopes where you have to rev much harder.
4. Routine maintenance, hindi naman nagkakalayo kapag nagpagawa sa labas. Pero kapag mga high tech electronic components nasira sa Hiace, medyo mahal ang piyesa.
5. Pwede naman. But the Commuter is already quite uncomfortable as it is...
6. Since nasa may bundok ka lagi, Hiace nalang. You will appreciate the extra power. Just see if you can soften the ride, especially at the rear. Nauseous passengers can be a big headache.

The word Baguio will make the difference here. All UV express from Nueva Ecija, Baguio, Tarlac usually take Kennon Road, based on what i have seen when going to and coming from Baguio.

1. Commuter
2. Urvan, usually UV express add a blower at the back, whether urvan or Commuter.
3. Commuter
4. Urvan for regular maintenance, it's a different story when other parts broke down.
5. Yes, go to seatmate in Mandaluyong or antipolo. Any seating configuration can be made by them.
6. For the specific purpose you mentioned, get the commuter.

Ang urvan, parang pagong yan pag umaakyat sa Kennon road, if you compare it with commuter. I have one, kaya nakikita ko kaibahan nila. Although if the driver is "skilled", it doesn't matter kung anong van yan. But 95% of UV express na may Baguio route were using Commuter.

Yes, and there also seems to be a rising popularity of Foton View's. When I drove the Revo (2.4 diesel) to Baguio via Kennon Road, I encountered a Foton View UV Express. Nagulat ako sa lakas ng hatak! There was no black smoke and it was climbing at a very rapid pace. My accelerator was already floored and I still could not overtake him!

I calculated an average fuel consumption of around 10km/L on my Baguio trip with the Revo (7 passengers plus luggage). Around one line from QC to La Union and almost another line just for the length of Kennon Road. Rough calculations show that it would've been consuming around 13-14km/l on the flatlands and just around 4-5km/l on Kennon Road. The Urvan has an engine that produces similar power output. I think it's consumption shouldn't be far off.

sir panu kung ung nissan urvan estate 3.0

[cocoy]

sir panu kung ung nissan urvan estate 3.0

just my two cents.. cant help but comment.. have a friend that owns one.. overall its not a bad van.. but with 3.0 non turbo engine.. its not efficient at all... i dont know why nissan didnt put a turbo in it.. or put a CRDI engine.. because the design of the urvan estate is similar to the new Hiace. to think that Nissan came out with the Urvan estate ahead of the Hiace.

AFAIK Nissan came first ahead of yota with the big body design Urvan E25. That time Nissan had no CRD engine for asian markets so they utilised the ZD30DD N/A. Last time i checked, Nissan Ph already discontinued E25 while E24 remains on sale. Maybe because its not priced well nobody is buying, and for over 1.2M one could go with CRDi version from Toyota or Hundai.
