    A Corolla Cross Hybrid and an Innova G were in our office parking lot this morning and it started a conversation sa office.

    Innova G *₱ 1,592,000
    Corolla Cross HV *₱ 1,650,000


    Yes, the Innova will seat more passengers, pero if 3-4 lang kayo sa family and 90% of the time, solo ka lang sa car.

    And you only plan to keep the car for 10 years.

    Do you think its time for us (Pinoys) to consider a hybrid?

    *I searched online and asked family/friends abroad. Ok naman reviews ng Prius after the 10th year.

    according to Toyota PH's website

    The battery is designed to last the life of the car. The car has normal 3 year warranty while the battery has 5 year warranty, though again, is designed to last well beyond the warranty.
    so if you buy both cars brand new, and plan to only keep it for (max) 10 years...

    In case of sudden floods na alanganin, mas may chance na mag endure or mag survive ang diesel vs. gas/hybrid. Now hindi naman basta basta mangyayari yun pero knowing na merong possible condition na ganun rito sa bansa natin, i would rather have that resilient trait of diesels and not need it instead of the other way around, na have none dahil sa vast electronics ng gas/hybrid setup and then need it.

    naisip ko lang. tanggalin natin yung factors na wala tayong control
    like:
    • mas malaki yung Innova and 7 seater.
    • mas pogi yung Corolla Cross
    • may baha sa Metro Manila


    mas matipid sa fuel ang diesel.

    pero since madalas naman tayong nag-iisa sa car. and madalas din na Metro Manila driving.

    ngayon pandemic, kung kakain ka sa loob ng car mo, di gagamit ng fuel yung hybrid.

    after the pandemic naman, di gagamit ng fuel yung hybrid habang paikot ikot ka sa parking.

    Kung mag isa lang naman most of the time, edi mas okay ang motor. Kaso di lahat marunong mag motor.

    A US aftermarket replacement linked in a video i saw quoted ~P90K converted for a reman battery or ~P70k for a rebuild kit after the core charge is refunded although you'll have to find someone to do the install or do it yourself. Casa rates here will probably be higher.

    if toyota warranties its batteries for 10 years of 150,000 km...
    zero for the first 10 years or 150,000 km.

    but as my daily route includes watershed areas in the metro...
    innova diesel pa rin siguro.

    Innova for me..

    Turbo Diesel power, more cargo space and passenger capacity. Although it's cargo capacity might come handful when you need to carry a bigger loads.

    At least for this age because the replacement part for the hybrid's battery might come at a higher cost than a regular gas/diesel powered vehicle..

    It's only been few when I saw on the Corolla Altis Hybrid on the road. Most of the Altises the current gen ones I see was a plain old gasoline models.

    same here.. innova talaga ang pinoy all around vehicle.. not too big, not too small.. enough power yet frugal..
