What is the best SUV in the Philippines? Cars Philippines

fortuner - matigas ang ride,

- too wide for inner city streets

- marami ng surplus parts sa banawe

 

montero - there's a reason they call it the fortuner killer

- check out the diesel variant

 

Sta. Fe - expensive

- but very luxurious, has more bells and whistles of the 3

- ride is smooth

- medyo masikip

- of the 3 you are choosing from, this is the least carnapped vehicle

 

** bottom line: how many are you in the family?

- will your wife / children drive the vehicle?

Thank you sir sa reply, appreciated, we are 4 in family, yes my wife and my eldest daughter will drive the car. I will check the latest Montero. Kung ikaw sir ano sa kanila ang the best?

Hyundai sta fe gets my vote! 

i already tried to drive those 3, pero hyundai sta fe talaga ang vote ko.

pero kung kasama sa choices ang honda pilot, dun ako =)

 

sama mo din sa choices ang ford escape /everest 

 

ganda din ng ride ng ford escape drive it from makati to tuguegarao balikan 5k lang ang consume ng gas my tira pa and hey thats 3.0 v6 gas engine! bilib ako sa durability ng ford escape at yung pagka balance ng body. kahit super curve at sa mga zigzag panis hehe. dami pa namin naka sabay na montero at fortuner nung paakyat kami tuguegarao pero ewan ko parang naiiwan namin sa akyatan and kahit mabilis na takbo mo like 120-140 parang 60 lang ang takbo maybe its because ang ganda ng suspension at ride sa loob very relaxing.

hi! yipee, hindi kaya maliit room space ng hyundai sta.fe, we already try the honda crv 2008 model, binenta namin kasi nali2itan kami sa space, tapos ang ingay ng grind ng gulong, how about the sta. fe, smooth ba rides?
thank you sa suggestion yipee.

if you have budget for the Sta.Fe, yun na sir kunin mo. The montero is long. baka mahirapan ang wife and daughter mo mag drive. OK na din ang Hyundai for a korean car maker. Bring your family and get inside the sta.Fe sa hyundai dealer nearest you. Malamang pag uwi nyo, dala dala nyo na yun.

Pwede mo din idagdag yung Isuzu Alterra awarded yan last 2006 as the best SUV. Pero sa choices mo, I'll go for Fortuner (diesel), Toyota yan maraming parts.

if you are in to really saving some money when it comes to fuel consumption, don't take big engine suv's, you can't have it all like ride being smooth while you are trying so stretch your peso on fuel consumption. we have been calling those type of cars as SUV but none of them really complies being sporty, being sporty means more fuel consumption and comes with a gasoline engine not diesel. so if what you need is something that can accommodate your number in a family, all you mentioned are great except it should come with a manual transmission. no automatic transmission engine is fuel economy. i have an F-150 4.2 liter gasoline, and for me its the real SUV, whole family can jumped in with comfort plus some more on its back. though its a 4.2 liter gasoline 100 octane, its a manual transmission, i can choose when to change my gear and goes 5.9km/liter city driving, more on a highways with its OverDrive. and parking is never a problem, i can park it even on the gutter high as 18 inches.

Sta. Fe user here... astig ang santa fe..matipid sa diesel... matulin... presko... hindi sirain..maluwag pa sa loob..di ka magsisisi!promise!

fortuner talaga ang boto ko

santa fe talaga ang boto ko

We used to have Fortuner. Performance wise okay siya, mas maluwag kesa sa Montero pero mas swabe manakbo ng Montero. i think your daughter can drive it. Ako I'm driving our Montero to school at kaya naman. i actually like big cars mas madaling sumingit kasi lagi pinagbibigyan (usually, hehe). Montero has nice multimedia touch screen navigator.

You can also consider Subaru Forester. hihi. I love driving it! Perfect for your daughter. ;) Super lambot at napaka-safe na sasakyan.

try santa fe... i swear it to GOD..di ka magsisisi...medyo mahal nga lang..pero kahit anak mo madaling magagamay ang handling...choose the CRDi type..para super tipid sa diesel...hehe! matuling pa sya... 8 secs lang from 0 - 80 to 90km..what pa kaya kung 12 secs?? 100+ na un... smooth pa...walang vibration sa engine...hehe! if you want..test drive mo santa fe ko pre...hehe! sagot mo lang krudo...nyahaha!

montero o fortuner? hirapan din ako mamili eh..hahahaha!

Thank you mahdy, your right, I want a also a real SUV, I mean a real car that makes you smile every time you seat in a driver side, and your family are not bouncing every time you hit the hole and rough road, you can drink inside without splashing.

ok plague, bisita ako hyundai to see the latest sta. fe

hindi ka magsisisi sa santa fe... 2012 model ng santa fe ko pre...yung 2013 na santa fe bago na mukha...eto oh tgnan mo...

 

mas gumanda sya sa dati...

ang montero ba luxurious ang interior? o mukhang auv lang?

Yung Subaru Forester ay hindi SUV, nabibilang siya as Station Wagon or box type vehicle.

Ang ganda dude! no negatives feeelings with that car, pero durable ba sya after a year base in your experience, bumagyo kasi kaya dipa ako naka2punta sa hyndai....

Oo naman bro, basta maintenance mo lang ng tama..tatagal yan...ang isa pang maganda sa hyundai... 5years ang warranty nila... kaya wala kang pproblemahin within 5years...

I'd choose the new Kia Sorento over the Santa Fe. Same powertrain but has 4WD. Roomier 3rd seats, has panoramic roof, is bigger..etc. Sayang nga lang because what made Hyundai-Kia better than the rest aside from being well-equipped was their competitive pricing. Ngayon, umasenso nalang eh sky rocket na yung presyo pero when you check other countries halos ganun parin ka competitive yung presyo ng Hyundai-Kia. Dito lang saten tumaas ng husto.
