nope... di rin nga sure ang thread starter if he wants an AUV.

for a budget of P1.3M, i'd take a look at the Hyundai Tucson. fuel mileage of 10km/L and up!

If strictly AUV, only choices are the Adventure and Crosswind. But both are already considered dinosaurs, have nothing innovative to speak of (CRDI diesel) or any safety devices (ABS, Airbag...). However, they do draw a crowd during rush hour...

If I had the P1.26M ($23K), I'd consider the hyundai tucson as m2 suggested. CRDI na, 4x4 pa. or dagdagan na lang konti, fortuner na :D, yun nga lang, ala akong idea sa fuel consumption nya. I heard the CRDI Hyundai matrix is also fuel efficient, pero medyo maliit. But for city driving, it might be ok. At least mas maneuverable.

dagdag ko na rin fuel consumption stats ng xto ko: 12.5km/liter combined city/hiway driving (4 yr average). Highest was 16.5km/liter hiway driving, city driving normally 11 km/liter w/ medium to heavy traffic. Lowest recorded is about 9km/liter.

remind ko lang horror stories ng crosswind.

remind ko lang horror stories ng crosswind.

di naman horror stories... nuisance experiences lang
horror kung madalas kang itirik or madali masira makina or mahina hatak/power.
kunswelo de bobo na lang malakas at matipid makina ng crosswind ;)

[niky]

Oo nga... hindi horror ang X-Wind... marami lang mga nakakainis lang na problemang maliit. But the fuel consumption is really terrific.

easily done with moderate foot on accelerator pedal with an isuzu.

I agree with you sir! You know I have a friend, he is around 5'11" in height. He drives a 2002 Crosswind XUV. He had been to Sagada, Baguio, and other places in Luzon accumulating more than 40K kilometers. He drives it everyday to work for around 80 kilometers and so far he had no problem with it.

Its engine may not be CRDI but it has a proven track record of durability and fuel economy despite the fact that it weighs 2.2 tons!

I've done mine on MT, but an uncle with an AT gets similar if not the same figures. With the long gearing on the MT and the good low-down grunt of the Isuzu engine, fuel economy is mostly the same. Also, the AT gets the turbo version of the engine, which gives you a lot more torque for city driving (but it's still ass slow).

A Crosswind is an acquired taste. Some drivers just love it, some hate it (I do), but you can't deny its practicality.

Nissan XTRAIL 200

try the Innova 2.5 D4d G... in the innova forum, it measured 17km/L

[si_randy]

I'm looking at http://motioncars.com/ and here's what I got (km/l) --

Ford Escape 2.3 XLS - 6.8
Honda CRV 4x2 - 8.82
Mitsubishi Outlander GLS - 8.05
Mitsubishi Montero Sport - 7.52
Nissan X-Trail 200x - 7.27
Toyota Fortuner 3.0D-4D V - 8.87
Toyota RAV4 2.0 AWD - 8.28

Do you agree with these figures? Fortuner ang pinakatipid sa gas sa mga nakalista sa taas?!?! As in mas matipid pa siya sa gas than the Toyota Corolla Altis 1.8G (8.34 km/l)?

Thanks.

[andre]

Yup I agree Fortuner 3.0 can acheive 8.87km/liter (hey, its a diesel), I dont agree with the CRV 4x2 can do 8.82km/liter. Also the RAV4 AWD. I think both of this car can do only 6.5km/liter. CRV is a gas guzzler if you're an aggresive driver.

[niky]

Yup... medyo guzzly daw yung CR-V. Yung uncle ko, may CR-V at Ford E150, and he still prefers the E150 for long trips. Kasi naman, you can carry twice as many people, and the fuel consumption is only around 30% worse (halos patas yata pag high speed na.)

So, 200% cargo, 130-140% gas. Mas astig pa ang itsura. :lol:

ang sa aking Sportivo A/T ay 9km/l combine city & highway, aggressive driver, 140km/hr max speed.
