good day...how about the prices of spare parts..maintenance of okavango？we know that the spare parts and maintenance of toyota is cheaper than others..
Yeah I can personally relate on the big difference of the two cars because we have both of these cars. Innova is really plain and basic while the okavango is so luxurious, high tech and very fun to drive. We have the okavango for 7 months now and no problem so far. I just hope Geely will have a good aftersales service here in the province just like we experienced in Toyota. But all I can say our okavango so far so good! Keep it up Geely!
@@KyleLiongCars They have a new branch here in Naga City, Camarines Sur for bicol region customers. There staff here are also very friendly and accomodating so a huge thumps up for Geely. 👏👍👌
These Chinese cars will force the Japanese carmakers to step up thier game.. To non believers of Chinese made cars dont hate, give it some time, this is a healthy competition and in the long run, consumer wins..
Everyone that I know, has either owned or driven a Toyota Innova. It's without doubt, the perfect family MPV. It's Reliable, Nippy, Looks Good and Fuel efficient. It also has variants that will cater to every caste. From the Basic J that manong Taxi Drivers from Baguio drive, to the Top of the line V which doesn't look out of place when parked next to mid-sized luxo-barges. But with it now costing more than the Camry, it's more feasible to buy the new kid on the block. The Okavango.
Exactly. I agree with you there. To add to that, the current model's V variant isn't exactly as "luxurious" as it was back when this body was first released so it sure is looking old in the looks and features department
@@KyleLiongCars Yup! The New Facelift Innova's exterior looked good. It's just disappointing that the V's interior isn't as posh as it was before. But hey, at least that crappy AVT is gone.

I know what I want too. I'll go for Geely Okavango! I don't know why some people out there tend to go for the so called "Reliable Car or Toyota to ehh😂" rather than trying some newly endorsed car. Indeed! Truly a great review Kyle!
@@KyleLiongCars Agree! Actually at first I was astonished when I heard that Volvo was owned now by Geely Corp. Now, I am more motivated to chase that Okavango or the luxurious Azkarra. 🙏 Sana!

Its high time someone do this kind of review na may conclusion sa dulo kung sino ang mas maganda..lahat ng car reviewer eh puro ikaw lang din naman sa huli mg dedecide.
The only thing Toyota Innova has advantage over Geely Okavango is the fuel consumption. Geely Okavango is only available in 1.5 ltr. gasoline engine (Premium Gasoline is the recommended to use) while the Toyota Innova is available in diesel. The rest of it, Geely Okavango is the winner. In terms of looks, no need to explain plus panoramic sunroof Geely is the winner. A real head turner.

Touch screen center console is big, clear, bright and lot of useful things there (but the sad thing is its not android / I phone compatible), Speed (3 options eco, comfort and sport for Geely Okavango).... its fast....way faster than toyota innova.

We tried it many times. Right now Geely Okavango has 3yrs free PMS service. This is my personal experience. I've driven many toyota innova both manual and automatic but its no way near the Geely Okavango except for fuel consumption because diesel is way cheaper than premium gasoline. But if you are always stock in traffic and a slow driver then its very economical.
@@KyleLiongCars actually its not mine, it was my cousin. I was the real one who convince him to buy it last month and so far he has no complain except for the fuel consumption since it is gasoline engine. But I'm driving it also when Im with him thats why I can tell from my own personal experience.

Ako meron Innova... just bought Okavango about 2 months ago....so sa mga masyadong negative sa Okavango... Check and Test Drive nyo muna... Both cars are nice and practical.
I like the reliability, the torque, fuel mileage, spare parts availability, familiarity, passenger’s space of the Innova. Definitely, undoubtedly I’m gonna buy the Okavango!
This is perfectly the choices I am choosing from. Toyota Innova 2.8 G Variant 2019 Model vs. Geely Coolray Sport Variant / Geely Okavango Urban Plus. Thanks for making this one.
To be honest, it will be hard to fault those who'll go with the Innova. It's reliable as fuck, has power, fuel efficiency, space, and good NVH suppression. When you buy an MPV, you need it to serve its purpose as a people-hauler, a family vehicle. Wala dapat sakit sa ulo. For upper middle class people, it's an Innova on the garage as a utility then a second car in which they enjoy.
Love your comparison, I"ll still go for Okavango cuz of its excitement and modern tech if your not after for reliability. I still love innovas they are more spacious than the Fortuner isnt?
Thanks! Yes agree with you there. Who knows though, the Okavango might end up proving more reliable in the long run! We’ll know in a few years. Yes, the Innova is more spacious than a Fortuner at least based on my perception. Not sure about actual measurements
@@KyleLiongCars Ohh btw, are you aware of this model that we dont get it here other country has which is the Geely Tugella, interesting model probably looks like a BMW X6 Haha
You really put your heart into your vids. And for that we benefit and are grateful. And cool intro btw 😂 RUclips algo is shit. You need more views and subscribers!
Yup sila talo kasi titiisin nila ang tinipid na specs ng toyota dahil cina haters..ewan k ba bat sa pinas ganyan specs ng toyota e sa ibang bansa kargado ng specs..parang pinamukha ng geely sa ibang mainstream brands na pede pala na kargado ng specs ang kotse na sakto lang ang presyo..
Ganito gusto kong review sasabihin nya talaga which one is better for him, Yung ibang car review palaging sinasabi kung ano yung mas kailangan mo. Playsafe 🤭🤭🤭
Owning and driving Toyota, Honda and Mitsubishi... My next car will be the Okavango. Driving my cousin's MUX 3.0L from time to time and tested the Okavango... I'll go for the Chinese brand!!! Haha
i was choosing between innova ang okavango. ended up going with innova for its reliability and simple but essential features. maganda ang features ng okavango no doubt about it. but at the end of the day i decided that i really don't need all those features. the more complex something is, the more things can go wrong. i don't want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere with some problem that a run of the mill mechanic cannot figure out. siguro if geely's presence and infrastructure in the country will be stronger then it's a different story.
can okavango run for 20 yrs or more and stays in good condition as toyota vehicles, i hope after 5 years those wirings and electronic components wont fail one by one then it will be the start of your nightmare, some cars are disposables...
We’ll know in 20 years haha! FYI, our 2016 Fortuner and 2017 FJ have been having electronics issues too since like last year so the Toyota point is moot
Okavango beats Innova on everything by far. Once you have stepped inside a Geely you will never like a Toyota. Toyota has a good track record of making reliable cars but thats pretty much it.
I wouldn't disprove Toyota as merely having "perceived" long term reliability, because I myself can assure everyone and attest to Toyota's reliability, however the Okavango really has much more modern things going on, so at least for this particular test, I'm definitely going for the Okavango
@@PSXBOX-lz1zq try talking to a seasoned mechanic and you'll know what reliability really is. We have two toyota revos which are still in good condition. Ofcourse there were some parts that needs to be replaced, especially the ones that are designed for wear and tear. But so far there's nothing major that needs replacement.
Philippine market is so blessed to have 2.8 GD series in INNOVA. INMO, Geely design is modern compare to INNOVA but the problem with that GEELY's engine is the 3 cylinder / hybrid system. We have to test it for years to know its reliability. Isama mo pa ung transmission. btw nice review sir Kyle! Good job
Thanks! Yes, I do agree with you that we need a few more years to test its reliability. Who knows? We might be lucky to have both cars in the market :)
this engine/transmission pair has had more than 12 million kilometers testing in some of the grueling environments in china. the transmission alone is rated at 300,000km, 50-70 thousand more than the industry standard
Kung hindi ka nag a-upgrade every 5 years, at wala kang spare na kotse, all you need is reliability and parts availability. Kasama sa ownership experience ang maintenance, at kung isa isa nang kailangan palitan yung mga parts, laking sakit ng ulo kung matagal ang downtime dahil sa paghihintay dumating yung stock.
Will you do a full review of Toyota Innova? You were able to do a full review of the Okavango so I think it's just fair that you also do a review of Toyota Innova so that people would have more points to consider before deciding on either two.
Reliability it’s Innova. In fact Toyota in General. Dami ng RUclips videos about Toyota’s design philosophy and it’s assembly process which lots of car manufacturers begin to follow suit.
Tbh spec wise, lalo s tech features, walang binatbat innova, ang pang laban nlng ni innova ay brand at diesel engine, btw, innova g owner here, tlgang maganda ang okavango, sana lng matibay dn since volvo kay geely na dn nmn
Oka owner here 6 months na NO PROBLEM at all going 9k odo, Totoo yan both na ako naka pag drive nian, wala talagang binatbat innova kung di yung brand at pagka diesel nia, once ma test drive nio si Oka mag babago talga pananaw nio, Well mga tao kasi dito sa pinas, maciadong galit sa china lahat naman ng gamit nio galing china
@@bossezekiel2556 tbh sir wala nmn ako prob sa china made cars lalo ngayon, btw 2016 p po kc innova namin, wala p Okavango nun hehe, pero syempre po, sa 1.5m can't blame ung ibang pinoy na pipiliin parin innova kahit na mas maganda specs ni Okavango, palagay ko po after 5 yrs at nakita ng tao n matibay ang geely malamang marami na lilipat s china made
Awesome review. Planning to get an oka this week. Your thoughts please if its still worth it given the huge price increase and if yung new gen oka ma release this year. Thank you
I'm choosing between CRV and Okavango. I'm leaning more on Okavango before. thinking that it is using a Volvo tech and it is way cheaper than CRV. but when the news about Volvo buying out Geely, I might change my mind. maybe someone here might give their opinion about my comparo models. i will appreciate it to help me choose the right car for me.
Tech wise, it’s really a no brainer to go for the Okavango as well as 3rd row space. The CRV though might have better resale value, and as of now, will surely have more available parts than the Okavango. Not sure how Geely parts availability will be in the next few years but given their sales numbers, I’m sure parts will soon be abundant, As for Volvo buying out Geely’s stake, at least for the already designed Okavango, I doubt it will make any difference
For me Im still go for Toyota Innova bcoz of reliabillity, and parts availability, even how manny years it will last, and resale value, and Toyota are tested since it was discovered.
That makes sense. I understand where you’re coming from :) What do you mean since they were discovered though? They didn’t exactly start out as the best either haha
It's been 2weeks with the Okavango... And they say it's ok to still love and adore it coz it's new..but I have a feeling it's gonna feel like honeymoon each time we'll get in that car.. Innova to me is a rolling Jollibee on the jungles of manila.. I want a real burger not a mediocre one 🤭😅
I own a 2021 hilux conquest and I experienced driving also the Q variant of the fortuner and tested an okovango but Im sorry toyota. Geely is creeping in, in terms of tech and features and price. And the damn Okavango looks like the new LC 300 especially when the DRLs are on
Rear wheel drive, diesel engine, body on frame chassis, parts availability, less tech=less prone to breakage, maintenance friendly, torque converter>dct,
Kyle, based on the fuel economy and price of fuel as of this writing, approximately 1peso/km or even more is their difference. So if long 600km (Cavite-Sagada v.v) drive with Innova will cost around 2800+php for diesel at let us say 10kpl and 50/L diesel. For Okavango, it will be around 4000+php for the same distance at 8kpl and 55/L gasoline. Do you think it is worth it? Kapalit ng features, comfort, and nimbleness?
@@KyleLiongCars great point man! I hate to let go of my Adventure, but I think you got me sold out sa Oka. Thanks! Now the next concern would be resellability. I'm hoping they'd live up, moreover exceed the expectations on reliability. Cheers!
Innova parin kasi un meron aq hehe .talo lang sa tech ang inno at hp lakas ni oka tska interior..no hate mga boss ..nasa buyer parin yan kung inno or oka .anyway nice vid boss
Kung ako na bibili ng 1st car ko at maybe my only car,sa Innova na ako. Maybe proven na at tested.Bigay ko nlg yang Okavango sa mga maraming ssakyan or multiple owner ng ssakyan. Okavango parang ngsugal ka this time. Maybe after 5 years if they prove something na. In short if pera ko pambili sa Innova ako,pero kung bigay lg at pili ako, sa Okavango ako tapos ibili ko sariling pera ko ng Innova.
Well in this time, tataas lang lalo ang presyo ng petrol ng Cars, and that's a major advantage of Innova, and its deisel. for occasionally use ng cars ok ang Okavango. Pag people hauler Innova pa din daw as per manong na nag wawakaran from Cam Norte - Manila, laking tipid kumpara sa mga kasama nya na naka 7/5 seaters like expander and coolray. And the word RELAIBILTY is big factor, if mga 10 years na dito sina Geely and they can attached the word Reliabilty in their brand. for sure matatalo na yang Toyota.
Yes I do agree na hindi pa subok si Geely, but hopefully we will know pero tama, mga 5-10 years pa bago magkaka-alaman. Kahit tumaas pa presyo ng gasolina, problem is napakatagal bago mabawi yung price difference. For example kahit Innova gas vs Innova diesel na lang. Kahit na mas matakaw and mas mahal presyo ng gasolina, laki naman ng price difference and mas mura bilhin yung Innova gas.
Great review, I am from India I have nothing to do with Phillipines but as good friends I would say buy the Toyota over that Chinese geely crap. Buying Chinese just helps them to walk over us and bully us. Buy ASEAN. good presentation and love your beautiful nation and people. Regards.
Sobrang ganda nyan Oka nayan para kang nasa mga luxury europian cars pag naupuan moyan. Yung innova boring but tested by time pang barugan pang harabas kahit saan💪
Are those seats in the Okovango urban plus for real? Or is it just fake synthetic leather? Love all your contents by the way! Do you know What new vehicle will Geely Philippines bring in this year? God bless you sir!
Okavango for sure! price difference alone and the tech and features that you get with the okavango makes it an easy choice, plus 5 years warranty pa yan!. Reliability? sabi nga ni King Panda, lahat ng sasakyan nasisira, mapa toyota or any japanese brands pa yan, nasa pag aalaga na yan ng user/owner, proper maintenance and good driving habit sigurado tatagal talaga sasakyan mo. Parts availability naman, understood nman na yan for a new car model na hirap pa or matagal and pyesa but ang importante is meron makukuhang parts so for me worth parin the risk of owning a Geely car. Plus points pa na Okavango is gwapo and pansinin talaga sa daan magmumukha ka talagang mayaman 😄
@@KyleLiongCars same with Hyundai/Kia 15-20 years ago, availability of parts din issue nila dati pero ngaun flooded na ang market natin ng parts and even aftermarket parts and accessories. So i think it won't take long for some Chinese brands to catch up in terms of parts availability
Tbh I haven't tried it on both of those scenarios, but seeing as it has way more usable power than the Innova when both have only 1-2 passengers, I'm sure it can easily do 7 as well. For off road, I guess super mild off roading is fine, but lacking four wheel drive and adequate ground clearance + locking differentials makes it unsuitable for heavy off roading.
@@KyleLiongCars thanks for the review. GEely recently opened a branch at dumaguete. Im really sold out into the design and technology, however im skeptical with the longevity and the availability of spare parts. I dont want to have the same problem as Ford, need to wait a couple of months for parts to arrive. Toyato is always the go to buy, but im disatisfied with the technology and design.
Spare parts availability shouldn’t be a big problem as dealers are required to stock up on parts… at least the more common ones. There was an interview too with Geely saying they could easily ship parts as they will be coming from nearby China lang. For longevity, only time will tell at this point
Seriously Geely cars don't look like Chinese cars it looks like a European car which I found out that Geely owns Volvo. 💯. You can buy a Volvo like car for just 1.5Million pesos 💯. Rooting for Okavango 💯💯
All cars are reliable brand new, wait 10 to 20 years and significant mileage, then you'll know the difference between a top japanese brand and a Chinese Cadillac imitation. Even mechanics with at least 20 years experience, the real car experts, know this. From engine blocks to pistons, theres always a huge difference when it comes to quality.
@@KyleLiongCars Yeah, and until then people who are looking to buy their first and only car, should invest in tried and tested brands. We're talking about a huge investment here, not merely a couple of thousands. For people who can afford multiple cars, sure, why not gamble that million away.
@@KyleLiongCars Ginawa mong Literal chief, I'm talking in principle. The value of a commodity is relative to its quality. Quality determines value. Thats why we have Fortune 500 companies. Of course in a free market you are more than welcome to buy whatever you want. Given na yan. What I'm basically saying is people gamble with these new brands, and its no small investment unless you are filthy rich. This is why veteran Mechanics are the only car experts, social media car reviewers are all about making noise, mechanics though give it to you from a mechanical experience standpoint.
Yes of course because I want to get my money's worth haha It's like saying that you wouldn't want to earn more money, because the more money you have, means more money you can lose. If you think about it with the same logic, then you would only desire a set amount of money to live the bare minimum.
Okovango is very tempting, and its more suitable to a younger generation. Its style and amenities checks almost the right boxes. But the Innova.. Theres something about it kasi talaga..... Preferably i would choose re-sale value and reliability thats why I purchase one.
I do agree that the Innova has great resale value, but who knows, the Okavango might end up being so reliable too that it matches or even beats the resale value of the Innova. Only time will tell... oh and the market, of course haha
I don't get people buying a Car for the reason of "re-sale" value - like you woudnt think of that if you have the capacity to buy in the first place because we all know once lumabas showroom car na nabili mo mag-depreciate kaagad value niyan.
Galing talaga ng toyota pang 90's pa din techs at interior design pero ang price 🤣, sabi ng mga friend ko na bumili ng toyota reliable naman pero pag nakakakita ng okavango naiinggit. Pag napunta sa baguio napapara ng tao akala taxi
Sabay sila pero it can’t go on electric mode alone for more than a few seconds or parang 1 minute lang ata not sure. Basically yung electric motor tumutulong lang sa engine most of the time including pagpower sa mga aircon and electronics pati yung initial tapak sa gas, and pag need humataw bigla
@@KyleLiongCars i see, mali pala yung understanding ko sa hybrids na automatic namamatay yung gas engine at nagtatake over yung electric motor nya (to save gas).

To be honest, it will be hard to fault those who'll go with the Innova. It's reliable as fuck, has power, fuel efficiency, space, and good NVH suppression.

Agree it's the best MPV. As for the best review... debatable hahaha but thanks
As always bro, nice review I enjoy it. Keep it up👍
Thanks again
Another nice review sir. Dadami haters mo neto na mga toyota fanatics..😂
Their loss HAHAHA! Thanks po
Yup sila talo kasi titiisin nila ang tinipid na specs ng toyota dahil cina haters..ewan k ba bat sa pinas ganyan specs ng toyota e sa ibang bansa kargado ng specs..parang pinamukha ng geely sa ibang mainstream brands na pede pala na kargado ng specs ang kotse na sakto lang ang presyo..
Confident siguro sila that people will still buy kasi. And people do haha
Pag napatunayan ni geely ang reliability nya after 5 years for sure dadami lilipat..😂
Sana
Ganito gusto kong review sasabihin nya talaga which one is better for him, Yung ibang car review palaging sinasabi kung ano yung mas kailangan mo. Playsafe 🤭🤭🤭
Not trying to please a particular manufacturer naman kasi ngayon in my case hehe! Glad you liked it po
Owning and driving Toyota, Honda and Mitsubishi... My next car will be the Okavango.
Driving my cousin's MUX 3.0L from time to time and tested the Okavango... I'll go for the Chinese brand!!! Haha
Yes do try it out! Chery and Maxus are pretty good too for your consideration :)
i was choosing between innova ang okavango. ended up going with innova for its reliability and simple but essential features. maganda ang features ng okavango no doubt about it. but at the end of the day i decided that i really don't need all those features. the more complex something is, the more things can go wrong. i don't want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere with some problem that a run of the mill mechanic cannot figure out. siguro if geely's presence and infrastructure in the country will be stronger then it's a different story.
Fair enough. Maybe in a few years :)
can okavango run for 20 yrs or more and stays in good condition as toyota vehicles, i hope after 5 years those wirings and electronic components wont fail one by one then it will be the start of your nightmare, some cars are disposables...
We’ll know in 20 years haha! FYI, our 2016 Fortuner and 2017 FJ have been having electronics issues too since like last year so the Toyota point is moot
Okavango beats Innova on everything by far. Once you have stepped inside a Geely you will never like a Toyota. Toyota has a good track record of making reliable cars but thats pretty much it.
Agree with your decision in the end there Kyle. The only things going for Toyota is brand recognition and "perceived" long term reliability.
I wouldn't disprove Toyota as merely having "perceived" long term reliability, because I myself can assure everyone and attest to Toyota's reliability, however the Okavango really has much more modern things going on, so at least for this particular test, I'm definitely going for the Okavango
Hmmnn...toyota sold 10 million cars yearly and in evry corner of d planet...testament to h reliability n longevity
reliability is subjective, no car is reliable if the owner maintains it like a passenger jeepney.
@@PSXBOX-lz1zq try talking to a seasoned mechanic and you'll know what reliability really is. We have two toyota revos which are still in good condition. Ofcourse there were some parts that needs to be replaced, especially the ones that are designed for wear and tear. But so far there's nothing major that needs replacement.
I really like both. I hope in the foreseeable future, I can buy one for my tatay🙏
Good luck po :) Hopefully soon
The Geely Okavango is Very Comfortable and Family Car
Yes
I will find it hilarious if the geely will be our national photobomber hahhah
Please wag.... but also, why not hehe
interior quality, ride comfort, NVH suppression and almost-same fuel efficiency as innova kasi hybrid. let’s not kid ourselves haha okavangooo
Yes let's go for the Okavango
Excellent review. Pls compare the Geely Urban Plus to the Maxus G50 Premium. Thank you.
Given the chance, I would hehe
Philippine market is so blessed to have 2.8 GD series in INNOVA. INMO, Geely design is modern compare to INNOVA but the problem with that GEELY's engine is the 3 cylinder / hybrid system. We have to test it for years to know its reliability. Isama mo pa ung transmission. btw nice review sir Kyle! Good job
Thanks! Yes, I do agree with you that we need a few more years to test its reliability. Who knows? We might be lucky to have both cars in the market :)
this engine/transmission pair has had more than 12 million kilometers testing in some of the grueling environments in china. the transmission alone is rated at 300,000km, 50-70 thousand more than the industry standard
Lovely hehe
Simple Review Nice Kyle!😁
Just like SaabKyle04 & Doug Demuro!
Also a huge compliment to be compared to those review giants haha! thanks
Kung hindi ka nag a-upgrade every 5 years, at wala kang spare na kotse, all you need is reliability and parts availability. Kasama sa ownership experience ang maintenance, at kung isa isa nang kailangan palitan yung mga parts, laking sakit ng ulo kung matagal ang downtime dahil sa paghihintay dumating yung stock.
Will you do a full review of Toyota Innova? You were able to do a full review of the Okavango so I think it's just fair that you also do a review of Toyota Innova so that people would have more points to consider before deciding on either two.
Actually I made one before but due to technical difficulties, I had to scrap the video haha! I’ll make one in the future
Lol that intro had to have been in reverse! 😂
Hahaha
Reliability it’s Innova. In fact Toyota in General. Dami ng RUclips videos about Toyota’s design philosophy and it’s assembly process which lots of car manufacturers begin to follow suit.
Yes
Good review. Thumbs up
Thanks! 👍
Tbh spec wise, lalo s tech features, walang binatbat innova, ang pang laban nlng ni innova ay brand at diesel engine, btw, innova g owner here, tlgang maganda ang okavango, sana lng matibay dn since volvo kay geely na dn nmn
Yes. We'll know in a few years. Sana ok reliability ni Okavango in the long run
Oka owner here 6 months na NO PROBLEM at all going 9k odo, Totoo yan both na ako naka pag drive nian, wala talagang binatbat innova kung di yung brand at pagka diesel nia, once ma test drive nio si Oka mag babago talga pananaw nio, Well mga tao kasi dito sa pinas, maciadong galit sa china lahat naman ng gamit nio galing china
Oonga eh. Phone naman nila galing China rin hahaha
@@bossezekiel2556 tbh sir wala nmn ako prob sa china made cars lalo ngayon, btw 2016 p po kc innova namin, wala p Okavango nun hehe, pero syempre po, sa 1.5m can't blame ung ibang pinoy na pipiliin parin innova kahit na mas maganda specs ni Okavango, palagay ko po after 5 yrs at nakita ng tao n matibay ang geely malamang marami na lilipat s china made
Yes sana maayos Geely even after 5 years
I choose toyota :) for durability and readable
I choose geely for design and hightech
But i choose toyota :)
Go for it
Another awesome review! I'm definitely staying tuned for more.
Thanks and please do haha
Geely Okavango is so Elegant and High Tech!
Yes
Better presentation than Stanley Chi.... great job young blood!
Thanks
Best channel!! Kudos!!!
Thanks! What a compliment
Awesome review. Planning to get an oka this week. Your thoughts please if its still worth it given the huge price increase and if yung new gen oka ma release this year. Thank you
Doubt any new gen will be released anytime soon eh. If you're looking for an MPV right now, good bet pa rin yung Oka despite the price increase :D
I'm choosing between CRV and Okavango. I'm leaning more on Okavango before. thinking that it is using a Volvo tech and it is way cheaper than CRV. but when the news about Volvo buying out Geely, I might change my mind. maybe someone here might give their opinion about my comparo models. i will appreciate it to help me choose the right car for me.
Tech wise, it’s really a no brainer to go for the Okavango as well as 3rd row space. The CRV though might have better resale value, and as of now, will surely have more available parts than the Okavango. Not sure how Geely parts availability will be in the next few years but given their sales numbers, I’m sure parts will soon be abundant,
As for Volvo buying out Geely’s stake, at least for the already designed Okavango, I doubt it will make any difference
Great review I go for geely , sirain yan 1GD diesel and noisy hehe
Thanks! Yes Geely for me too
Nice review sir ☺️. keep it up! Hi from Geely Cebu
Thanks po!!
Haha super outdated ang innova sa okavango need pa ag 2030 para makasabay haha
Actually haha
Unless you will be traversing rough roads regularly, the Okavango is better in every way.
Yep
You didn’t sound a little bias right there, lol. Don’t worry i’m on your side :)
Was the first statement sarcastic? I did it as objective as possible haha
@@KyleLiongCars doesn’t matter. I told you i’m on your side, lol
Thanks haha
For me Im still go for Toyota Innova bcoz of reliabillity, and parts availability, even how manny years it will last, and resale value, and Toyota are tested since it was discovered.
That makes sense. I understand where you’re coming from :) What do you mean since they were discovered though? They didn’t exactly start out as the best either haha
Somebody has to compare both options after 5 years, that comparison will hold more water. Hehe very good comparison though...
Yes. Hoping to do this video again in 5 years haha
Yes pls
Still will go for Innova, Need to know first
If the geely brand would be reliable before i switch. Simple as that.
Fair enough. Will still need some time for the Geely cars to prove themselves :)
Nice contey, been looking for this
Thanks
It's been 2weeks with the Okavango... And they say it's ok to still love and adore it coz it's new..but I have a feeling it's gonna feel like honeymoon each time we'll get in that car.. Innova to me is a rolling Jollibee on the jungles of manila.. I want a real burger not a mediocre one 🤭😅
Hahaha true
I own a 2021 hilux conquest and I experienced driving also the Q variant of the fortuner and tested an okovango but Im sorry toyota. Geely is creeping in, in terms of tech and features and price. And the damn Okavango looks like the new LC 300 especially when the DRLs are on
Yes and features wise, it can also battle even the LC300 haha
Rear wheel drive, diesel engine, body on frame chassis, parts availability, less tech=less prone to breakage, maintenance friendly, torque converter>dct,
How is having RWD an advantage on an MPV though. I do agree with the rest in terms of dependability
Okavango all the way, previous innova user here.
😍😍
Thanks Kyle!
I am more convince w/ okvango thank you so much sir for detailed review
Glad to help
This is my favorite car model
Lovely
Please make a comparo video for the oka and the honda crv 🙏🙏🙏
Pwede maybe down the line
Kyle, based on the fuel economy and price of fuel as of this writing, approximately 1peso/km or even more is their difference.
So if long 600km (Cavite-Sagada v.v) drive with Innova will cost around 2800+php for diesel at let us say 10kpl and 50/L diesel. For Okavango, it will be around 4000+php for the same distance at 8kpl and 55/L gasoline.
Do you think it is worth it? Kapalit ng features, comfort, and nimbleness?
Unless you’re doing that non-stop everyday, it’ll take a long time to recoup the price difference in acquisition costs of the cars
@@KyleLiongCars great point man!
I hate to let go of my Adventure, but I think you got me sold out sa Oka. Thanks!
Now the next concern would be resellability.
I'm hoping they'd live up, moreover exceed the expectations on reliability. Cheers!
We’ll see in a few years, but for now, we can bank on the 5 year warranty haha
Innova parin kasi un meron aq hehe .talo lang sa tech ang inno at hp lakas ni oka tska interior..no hate mga boss ..nasa buyer parin yan kung inno or oka .anyway nice vid boss
True upto the buyer pa rin naman. For me though, Okavango haha
Kung ako na bibili ng 1st car ko at maybe my only car,sa Innova na ako. Maybe proven na at tested.Bigay ko nlg yang Okavango sa mga maraming ssakyan or multiple owner ng ssakyan. Okavango parang ngsugal ka this time. Maybe after 5 years if they prove something na. In short if pera ko pambili sa Innova ako,pero kung bigay lg at pili ako, sa Okavango ako tapos ibili ko sariling pera ko ng Innova.
Fair point sir :)
Well in this time, tataas lang lalo ang presyo ng petrol ng Cars, and that's a major advantage of Innova, and its deisel. for occasionally use ng cars ok ang Okavango. Pag people hauler Innova pa din daw as per manong na nag wawakaran from Cam Norte - Manila, laking tipid kumpara sa mga kasama nya na naka 7/5 seaters like expander and coolray. And the word RELAIBILTY is big factor, if mga 10 years na dito sina Geely and they can attached the word Reliabilty in their brand. for sure matatalo na yang Toyota.
Yes I do agree na hindi pa subok si Geely, but hopefully we will know pero tama, mga 5-10 years pa bago magkaka-alaman. Kahit tumaas pa presyo ng gasolina, problem is napakatagal bago mabawi yung price difference. For example kahit Innova gas vs Innova diesel na lang. Kahit na mas matakaw and mas mahal presyo ng gasolina, laki naman ng price difference and mas mura bilhin yung Innova gas.
Brand new condition Geely.......after a few years, definitely the Innova!
Who knows? The Geely might even do better down the line haha! We'll see in a few years. Hope they hold up well
Innovas survived at least 20 yrs, so wll wait just 5 yrs for oka and so on..
Go for it
hands down OKAVANGO!! :D
Nice!
That's a no brainer. Okavango all the way!
Agree
Great review, I am from India I have nothing to do with Phillipines but as good friends I would say buy the Toyota over that Chinese geely crap. Buying Chinese just helps them to walk over us and bully us. Buy ASEAN. good presentation and love your beautiful nation and people. Regards.
Thanks sir! Gotta be objective about the car though haha
i love korean cars.
i hate Japanese cars ph(also source from INDO or TH that i hate, flop interior, weak design, and downgraded safety features).
Hope Japanese cars up their interior game now that new players are entering the industry
new sorento now in ph also carnival in 2022
how’s the service parts availability and resale value of geely?
I think they currently have some parts issues but they said they’re sorting it out. Resale value… to early to tell
Bro! Isuzu mux vs Toyota innova on passenger comfort/ riding comfort and which has bigger interior space
Innova all the way for comfort and space
Cant wait to get mine! You think its worth it?
The Okavango? Very much so
The Low Tech Toyota. That's the price for our loyalty. Oh expensive too 🙄
Yep
Disappointing interior and exterior designs for Innova most Toyota cars.
The aircon of Toyota is also cause of disappointment.
Aircon is fine though
Sobrang ganda nyan Oka nayan para kang nasa mga luxury europian cars pag naupuan moyan. Yung innova boring but tested by time pang barugan pang harabas kahit saan💪
Tama
in terms of practicality most people prefer (7people/2050L space) than (8 people/1128L space).
They do?
I really hope Geely bring this Okavango to Indonesia.
You would be lucky if they do hehe
@@KyleLiongCars yes indeed, consider there're full of low spec with overpriced car here.
Same here often haha except for the Chinese brands
Are those seats in the Okovango urban plus for real? Or is it just fake synthetic leather? Love all your contents by the way! Do you know What new vehicle will Geely Philippines bring in this year? God bless you sir!
It’s probably synthetic leather, but they did an amazing job hehe! I know what’s on Geely’s pipeline, but I don’t think I’m allowed to disclose haha
@@KyleLiongCars any clue if the xingyue l will make it to ph shores?
Not sure eh. Hope it does
Dpende san mo gagamitin pang personal oka, pero pang long term horse na pang kargahan mag inno ka
For utility, baka better nga Innova since body on frame
TBH, safety features per price, the Geely Okavango Urban Plus beats the Innova (even the top of the line Innova)
Yup. Hands down
Okavango for sure! price difference alone and the tech and features that you get with the okavango makes it an easy choice, plus 5 years warranty pa yan!. Reliability? sabi nga ni King Panda, lahat ng sasakyan nasisira, mapa toyota or any japanese brands pa yan, nasa pag aalaga na yan ng user/owner, proper maintenance and good driving habit sigurado tatagal talaga sasakyan mo. Parts availability naman, understood nman na yan for a new car model na hirap pa or matagal and pyesa but ang importante is meron makukuhang parts so for me worth parin the risk of owning a Geely car. Plus points pa na Okavango is gwapo and pansinin talaga sa daan magmumukha ka talagang mayaman 😄
Sooner or later dadami na rin hopefully parts ng Geely if a lot of people buy them rin
@@KyleLiongCars same with Hyundai/Kia 15-20 years ago, availability of parts din issue nila dati pero ngaun flooded na ang market natin ng parts and even aftermarket parts and accessories. So i think it won't take long for some Chinese brands to catch up in terms of parts availability
@@iamcanon25 Yup I agree. Same issue rin naman dati with mga Japanese cars a few decades back haha
Would the Okavango carry a full load, all 7seats occupied with ease? Can we use it offroad?
Tbh I haven't tried it on both of those scenarios, but seeing as it has way more usable power than the Innova when both have only 1-2 passengers, I'm sure it can easily do 7 as well. For off road, I guess super mild off roading is fine, but lacking four wheel drive and adequate ground clearance + locking differentials makes it unsuitable for heavy off roading.
@@KyleLiongCars thanks for the review. GEely recently opened a branch at dumaguete. Im really sold out into the design and technology, however im skeptical with the longevity and the availability of spare parts. I dont want to have the same problem as Ford, need to wait a couple of months for parts to arrive. Toyato is always the go to buy, but im disatisfied with the technology and design.
Spare parts availability shouldn’t be a big problem as dealers are required to stock up on parts… at least the more common ones. There was an interview too with Geely saying they could easily ship parts as they will be coming from nearby China lang. For longevity, only time will tell at this point
@@KyleLiongCars thanks for the help
You’re welcome
Seriously Geely cars don't look like Chinese cars it looks like a European car which I found out that Geely owns Volvo. 💯. You can buy a Volvo like car for just 1.5Million pesos 💯. Rooting for Okavango 💯💯
Yes great design
All cars are reliable brand new, wait 10 to 20 years and significant mileage, then you'll know the difference between a top japanese brand and a Chinese Cadillac imitation. Even mechanics with at least 20 years experience, the real car experts, know this. From engine blocks to pistons, theres always a huge difference when it comes to quality.
We’ll know by then :)
@@KyleLiongCars Yeah, and until then people who are looking to buy their first and only car, should invest in tried and tested brands. We're talking about a huge investment here, not merely a couple of thousands. For people who can afford multiple cars, sure, why not gamble that million away.
I disagree with “should.” It’s still their choice. Some people dream of having tech filled cars so it really depends on their priorities
@@KyleLiongCars Ginawa mong Literal chief, I'm talking in principle. The value of a commodity is relative to its quality. Quality determines value. Thats why we have Fortune 500 companies. Of course in a free market you are more than welcome to buy whatever you want. Given na yan. What I'm basically saying is people gamble with these new brands, and its no small investment unless you are filthy rich. This is why veteran Mechanics are the only car experts, social media car reviewers are all about making noise, mechanics though give it to you from a mechanical experience standpoint.
:batchest:
No argument here. Geely Okavango is on another level compared to innova
Yes
You are comparing a laatest SUV and a SUV that is 2 year old. I think it will be fair if you compare the okavango with it's same size rival fortuner.
Uh nope. The Oka is not similar to the Fortuner. The Innova is the more apt comparison
The more features the more problem in a long run. More features more maintenance. Do you really need that features for geely?
Yes of course because I want to get my money's worth haha
It's like saying that you wouldn't want to earn more money, because the more money you have, means more money you can lose.
If you think about it with the same logic, then you would only desire a set amount of money to live the bare minimum.
Tapos na usapan, Geely for the win sa lahat ng category
Hahaha
At 300nm torque is it safe to drive it to Baguio with 7 people on board?
Yes of course
Okovango is very tempting, and its more suitable to a younger generation. Its style and amenities checks almost the right boxes. But the Innova.. Theres something about it kasi talaga..... Preferably i would choose re-sale value and reliability thats why I purchase one.
I do agree that the Innova has great resale value, but who knows, the Okavango might end up being so reliable too that it matches or even beats the resale value of the Innova. Only time will tell... oh and the market, of course haha
I don't get people buying a Car for the reason of "re-sale" value - like you woudnt think of that if you have the capacity to buy in the first place because we all know once lumabas showroom car na nabili mo mag-depreciate kaagad value niyan.
Agree
Eh ano naman gagawin mo sa auto mo pag naluma? Di mo ba i-didispose yan?
Galing talaga ng toyota pang 90's pa din techs at interior design pero ang price 🤣, sabi ng mga friend ko na bumili ng toyota reliable naman pero pag nakakakita ng okavango naiinggit. Pag napunta sa baguio napapara ng tao akala taxi
😂😂
innova v 2021 vs urban plus...please
As mentioned, basically the same car as the 2019 haha
Geely Okavango
yep
hello po sa mga Oka owners... About sa fully charged electric motor, I'm curious, how far can it go (km)?
It’s not meant to go on EV mode like a normal hybrid
@@KyleLiongCars so hindi po sabay yung andar nila?
Sabay sila pero it can’t go on electric mode alone for more than a few seconds or parang 1 minute lang ata not sure. Basically yung electric motor tumutulong lang sa engine most of the time including pagpower sa mga aircon and electronics pati yung initial tapak sa gas, and pag need humataw bigla
@@KyleLiongCars i see, mali pala yung understanding ko sa hybrids na automatic namamatay yung gas engine at nagtatake over yung electric motor nya (to save gas).
Nice review Sir, Montero Sport naman sir😊
Naghahanap pa rin ako ng Montero haha! Thanks bro
Well Innova for Long Term Use,Okavango is good but once the Battery is due for replacement,the Hybrid battery is expensive,i will choose Innova.
Fun fact though. It will still run in case the hybrid battery dies
