Toyota Avanza and its competitors
Toyota Avanza is one of the most popular MPVS on the Philippine market today. It was a fixed top 10 in the Philippines' best seller list, but it eventually pulled out in 2019, handing the crown to its direct competitor, Mitsubishi Xpander.
The 2019 model, the current Toyota Avanza, has been given a major external overhaul. Now the sports brand-new fascia gives the vehicle a sportier and streamlined face. The new split LED headlamp is introduced in cosmetic surgery, which better integrates the feature line of engine hood metal plate. The front fog lights are also a new look next to the black low front grille. A new set of alloy wheels, slightly adjusted, and fin shaped antennas complete the new Toyota Avanza shell.
The new Avanza offers two engines, the first is a 1.5-liter (103 HP, 136 nm) engine for Veloz and G models, and the second is a 1.3-liter engine (95 HP, 121 nm) for E and j trim. In addition to Veloz automatic and automatic, the driver can choose between 4-speed automatic and 5-speed manual.
The latest Toyota Avanza seven seat cabin, high quality seat materials and spacious luggage space ensure that every passenger feels comfortable during long-distance driving. With the help of 50:50 folding seats in the second and third rows, the storage space is expanded. Infotainment, on the other hand, is provided by a 6.8-inch capacitive touch-screen infotainment system, which also has a T-link image that allows Apple Carplay to automatically connect to Android. The multimedia console uses high-resolution K2 technology for audio enhancement, supporting music streaming and hands-free operation.
Those looking for the latest Toyota Avanza are expected to sell for between 743,000 and 1,080,000 pesos, with six different trim options. If this popular MPV from a leading domestic car brand proves insufficient to meet your needs, budget and lifestyle, there are other MPVS that can be considered for your car shopping trip.
In terms of the style, few MPVS can match the Mitsubishi Xpander. From its dynamic shield front fascia, its future feature line, the all-new Xpander certainly looks better than many other vehicles at the same level. Led outline lights and combined tail lights are easy to shine. The 16-inch two tone alloy wheel hub makes a good introduction to the fashionable and elegant appearance. There are four Xpander models with a 1.5-liter in-line four valve DOHC MIVEC engine, which can provide 105 horsepower and 141 nm of torque. The modern dashboard welcomes Xpander passengers with a special emphasis on the ergonomics of everyone, especially the driver. High user friendliness is matched by the use of high-quality plastic and fabric materials, which helps the cockpit look particularly premium in price.
To be honest, Suzuki Ertiga is a car that doesn't mean much to ordinary Juan. This is a pity, as it is clearly a decent and reliable performance based on what the vehicle offers, let alone a national MPV segment worthy of competition. A 1.5-liter 4-cylinder k15b is located in the engine compartment of Ertiga and can provide 103hp and 138nm of torque. The low trim has a five-speed manual, while the high specification comes with a four-speed automatic. The latest models are designed to add spice to the interior through more exciting design cues, such as a three-tone dashboard, a D-shaped steering wheel with control buttons, a 10-inch infotainment system, and most importantly, there and here a man-made wood grain accent, which makes the cabin more upscale.
