For me Honda BRV-VX is the best and value for money when it comes to Safety, fuel economy and other usable features. Honda known for quality engine..every 6 months PMS(tipid), smooth idrive, the fastest on it's segment 121PS/145NM, Sporty look, topnotch interior look.. Other top highlights... it has ACC(gamit na gamit sa expressway), LKAS, RDM, LDW, ABS, EBD, LCDN, VSA, HSA, ESS, Driving Eco coaching, with DRL, Auto head light ON/Off with Auto high Beam, Full LED lights, Smart Entry, Remote start Engine, Walk away doors autolock(iwas kalimot i-lock), Central Doors autolock when set to Drive, 6 grab handles, ISOFIX, Child lock, 6 Airbags with curtain, 6 speakers, Seat belt reminder, Security Alarm & immobilizer, Anti-theft engine immobilizer, Crash sensor, Door Ajar Warning, Side Impact Beams, Android auto & Apple carplay, Reverse camera with guidelines, Reverse Part sensors Assist, Full 2nd Row seats tumble Up(more cargo space), Aircon with Quick cool feature, Right side view mirror Lane Watch camera for blind spot detection.
The Veloz used is the base AT variant, but price mentioned is for top variant. If this was corrected then the Veloz would have finished top in value for money & tech features
I have Stargazer ivt gls ..... the best mpv and looking car there. Look like a small spaceship during night. Very unique , ikaw lang meron pag may stargazer ka!
Thank you for confirming my decision to get a Hyundai Stargazer. Test drove it out no lag during shift changes, NVH is great, leg and head rooms are better than expected. ALso tried the Veloz and Expander same feedback as yours. Did not consider the new BR-V at the onset cost muc h higher than the Stargazer. Would have been great if the Stargazer was equipped with a front and rear dashcam to do away with running cables around the unit's interior. IF factory equipped it will definitely be more seamless. . Thanks again.
It was an eye opening review from you guys. You guys did very well. You scored the cars in significant categories for daily driving. Safety and spacious interiors score big points in my book.
This convinced me to get the stargazer X. No regrets, had a santa fe and a tucson, parts are hard to find but it doesn't break down as much as other people think hyundai cars do. It's all in the maintenance and driving habits
I still chose Toyota, Honda and Suzuki! Fair enough si Veloz and BR-V since both has Toyota Safety Sense and Honda Sensing. Although si Veloz may 360 degree view while si BR-V has none. Power wise mas mataas hp ni BR-V over Veloz. Folding system sa Veloz is fully flat while sa BR-V may lift ng konti for the 3rd row seat. Again Veloz & BR-V still my choice. Including XL-7 in my choice due to its fuel economy and comfort with its suv styling same as the BR-V kahit di kasama sa comparison 😊

After watching this video part 1 & part 2. I finally bought a stargazer.I’ve been considering buying mpv this past few months. Really a big help from you guys.Well appreciated. Thank you.
One cannot go wrong with either Honda or Toyota quality. Their engines and transmissions are simply built to last a lifetime with minimum maintenance. Have an 07 Odyssey with 325,000 miles and 03 Tundra with 250,000 miles; both with original engine and transmission. Neither has been rebuilt; just normal wear and tear parts and fluid replacements.
Good job with the review guys. Hats off to Stargazer owners - - - that is one solid MPV. Very consistent performer even with other reviews in the region. And super good looking. Not to take anything away from the other brands. All are awesome units. Really depends on the driver. I go for the BRV if want something smaller with the bells and whistles. The Veloz for practicality. This is a good everyday MPV. The Xpander is still good looking. But based on the review - was little bit caught up with its old format. Good that it has the chance to still improve in later versions I hope. The Stargazer..well all the good things combined with a competitive price tag and performance. Simple well balanced. Keep up the good work. TopGear team.
@@jerryching6858really depends on how you maintain your unit. I agree that Toyota is known for durability specially in the PH market, the other brands are not that far off and are becoming very competitive which is good for the market.
@@haljordan6498 I actually just test ride the stargazer but the premium variant, its freaking spacious, the handling is so soft, and yes, super comfortable.
@@haljordan6498you can never go wrong with hyundai. We have stargazer premium, ertiga and expander gls. I can say that my top choice will still be the stargazer. But when it comes to carrying cargos i will choose ertiga.
I've been watching many reviews and comparissions already. So I was already expecting the Stargazer to get the win. Glad to know it did not disappoint.
To be painfully honest, I feel quite bad for people who bought the 2023 Xpander Cross. Even before watching this grand comparo, I've seen tons of reviews of those featured MPVs and for a hefty price of 1.33 million pesos, it's the second-most expensive MPV after the Honda BR-V but the cheaper Stargazer and Veloz get more features than the Xpander Cross. And, yes, I can already feel people rebutting at me about the Xpander Cross's high ground clearance, aggressive looks, parts availability..... their top 3 ace cards to be played against other MPVs. They do themselves, but again, again, and then again, most buyers will take into consideration the most the value for money, and the Stargazer easily takes the CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, CAKE. (stream cake by itzy btw🍰) So yeah. All I can say is that it just makes no sense to buy an Xpander Cross on the practical side. Either spend a few more 5-digit pesos for the most-feature packed BR-V, or just go for the Xpander GLS if one wants to get the Xpander line because most features that can be found on the Cross are also available on the cheaper GLS. But then again, best value for money, the Stargazer.
meron din + yang Xpander kahit ganyan yan nagagamit din yan sa malubak at bundukin na terrain compare sa Veloz na dadamage ung ilalim sumasagad sa matataas na hump specially pag full passengers. Meron po kami both Veloz at Xpander and pag Veloz owner ka talagang masasaktan ka pag sumasagad ung ilalim ng sasakyan mo, tsaka pag may baha, nakaka tulong din ung ground clearance ng Xpander.
@@eyyydoddska kaya nga sabi ko "Kahit ganyan yan" sabi mo kasi "I felt bad?" pano naman yung mga owners ng Veloz na nakatira dun area na my maraming bulubundukin at mataas na humps? Di kaba na fefelt bad sa bawat kalabog ng mga bato sa ilalim ng Veloz? Ano ba advantage ng safety features ng Veloz tumatalon ba cya pag sumagad na ung bato sa ilalim? hahahahah
proud owner of Toyota Veloz, i prefer 360cam over cruise control specially in day to day city driving, they should have consider the after market value and maintenance
For me when talking about value for money,fuel efficiency is important ,built quality and durability matter most. Specially for us who can only spend a million maybe once in a lifetime just to buy the best of them
Xpander GLS owner here. Maybe its lacking sa tech pero pro/tenured driver naman ako so I dont need those tech kasi pag driver ka talaga noon pa hindi mo na need niyan. It may provide you comfort but those tech are for newbies. I really bought XP 2023 because of the ground clearance and pogi looks compared to those mpvs out there. This is my opinion. I respect the review but still Im confident with my xpander especially pag may baha 👌👌 From vios to xpander by the way. Toyota matibay talaga we'll see if matibay din si Mitsubishi.
AHAHAHA this is the same reasoning my dad is using right now 😅 We're currently checking out which car to buy right now since our Mirage has some issues, and we are agreeing on XP Cross (or wait for the new Strada, but I doubt my mom has the patience to wait for it)
The Veloz used is the base AT variant, but price mentioned is for top variant. If this was corrected then the Veloz would have finished top in value for money & tech features
Nice review! I still go with Xpander Cross among all these other MPVs. Aftermarket is good too and based on statistic (my own research) Xpander Cross and Hyundai Stargazer are the best selling MPVs as of today. kudos to you all guys!
Thanks for the Nice review ! big eye opener for us that we made the right choice ! also, please check the note on 27:45 mark, 4th place should be xpander cross and not Stargazer. 😊
Out of the bunch stargazer is the best transmission makes the 1.5 seem powerful and can manage torque better than the other it's just that gdi engine is bad news🤣 they could've just used the good old port injection.
Congratulations to Stargazer. I was rooting for veloz but hyundai really did good with the stargazer. Although i am not a fan of its looks, its too futuristic for me.
This used to be the playbook of Toyota, late in the game but comes out refined. This time, it's Hyundai playing the game. And played the game right they did.
safety features and engine wise - IMHO BRV is top followed by Veloz besides I could get the Honda BRV-V variant w/c cost less the the BRV-VX having same CVT transmission...atsaka hinde nila binigyan ng pansin ang after-sales and part availabilities...yong sakit ng ulo in the long run hinde mabayaran ng anong pera. Parang yong perspective nitong review is more on first vehicle buyer..ok yong feature ng stargazer kaso off talaga yong design same then ng Veloz hinde masculine or sporty ang dating 😀😍
You just said it yourself. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I didn't like SG at first on screen. But when I saw it in actual real life, fell in love with it.
Good Test, but sana nainclude yung kung sino ang good if you are loaded with cargo and passengers since this is a family car. Then yung aftersales parts, yung hindi ka maghihintay ng MONTHS para sa parts and kung gano kaganda yung customer service nila and yung maintainability and quality, baka kasi maganda lang sa una pero after 2 to 3 years lalabas na yung mga sakit agad.
For me the battle is only between the brv and veloz. If budget is a concern go for veloz, otherwise will go for brv. It has the perfect balance of sporty and classy look, power, reliability, safety features and tech. But veloz is a good option, again if budget is a concern go for veloz. Turn off lang for me yung low ground clearance nya. xpander cross for me is trying hard to look macho na naging oa na too much blings here and there pero dami naman lacking na features for its price. If really eyeing for a mitsubishi brand xpander gls is already a good choice. Stargazer not a fan of its look, it’s also trying hard to be different. And if I will buy a car, i’ll buy the one na I’ll be proud and happy to drive. Yung masarap tingnan sa daan. 1. Brv 2. Veloz 3. XP cross 4. Stargazer This is my opinion lang naman ✌️
same thought Sir, I was choosing between BRV & Veloz and ending up choosing the Veloz... right choice for me since after I familiarize the driving techniques, na feel ko yun katipiran nito... "driving comfort like a Car, but a looks of a SUV, especially yun interior looks ni Veloz"
Same ranking.. I go for Brv for salvage value, reliability & power.. Stargazer looks too futuristic for me.. Tsaka lets accept it, mga pinoy mas hiyang sa japanese brands.. Like Apple vs Samsung, nasa dugo na ng pinoy yan..
Xpanders from the oldest to the latest models have an evaporator for the 2nd row AC. They've always been mistaken to be blowers only because it has inlets just above the front row seats. The evaporator is located up there near the inlets. I've always thought they're cold and have good airflow, riding all 3 generations of the Xpander, so I don't really know why in this test they said it's not that cold or the airflow is quite low.
@@prieljannescarilla5122 For some reason, I'm inclined to agree. There barely has been anything negative mentioned about the Hyundai, regardless if it's really good or not.
@@vindioshabel1729 I also noticed that they haven't been consistent with what to look out for. They praised the space and bottle holders of the hyundai, as well as the charging port at the back when they didn't even mention such for the xpander. Again, I'm not an xpander fan, but the way the contenders have been graded seems to be inconsistent. Way too much favor for the hyundai.
No regrets for choosing Veloz. Power, ECO, Slope, Normal, and Manual drive modes, too many toys inside the unit. Nakaakyat na dn sa Mt. Gulugod Baboy. ❤️
Number 1 in sales just because it is mitsubishi. But if you put a different badge on it then it will not be on top sale. People buy just because of the badge not about the factors
Very good review and comparison. For a buyer like me, it is very helpful. I could say that Hyundai listens to this review and came up with a stargazer X. Which definitely runs additional miles away points. 😊 Now, all I can consider now is my monthly amortization of stargazer x and avanza top of the line. I will use this as a delivery business but this will be another story. 😅 Job well done guys! Kudos to Top gear.
Before, we're torn between veloz and stargazer. I've just really loved how the interior of veloz looks plus the 360cam. After watching these videos, it helps me decide which is which, we'll go for comfort before style, at least for me, a lady driver, who doesn't need my car to look macho. SGX for me. I just wish, SGX has 360cam and I couldn't ask for more. I guess you really couldn't have it all hence the price😅
guys please do this again and include stargazer x, the custin, suzuki xl7 and or the ertiga. Thanks a lot This has to be the most eye opening car review in the market. Practical use instead of spec sheet battle.
the one wearing glasses at the captain chair oozes a leader attitude. Some that you will follow. The one at the back though has the most likeable personality. Someone you can comfortably be friend with.
To y'all planning to buy a 7-seater car for your family, I highly suggest you watch these videos Part 1 and Part 2. Top Gear PH did a great job in reviewing them. Kudos to the team! :) PS. Now this solidify my choice of buying Hyundai Stargazer not just because of its looks.
I think the tests could be better if you take the points of each category put them in percentage as to which bears heavier weight in each category of features. I think safety points and crash ratings would help as well as ground clearance points should carry heavier weight than others and as such should have a bigger percentile in the overall grading. Throw in parts availability and after-sales service in there as well. After which, you could give a title to what each is best for such as best for flood, best for NVH, best for comfort, quietest cabin, best in tech, best for practicality, best safety, most balanced choice m, etc it will help people decide even better. You’re reviewing the car itself but when people buy a car they’re not just buying into the features, they also look into after sales and service cost and ease. And these things should also factor into the purchase of a vehicle.
They couldn't possibly accurately rate after sales since most of these cars are brand new. It's common sense for most people that Toyota would have the most spare parts by far.
@@arcaine101 well i would say after sales speaks more about the brand than the car model afterall, we wouldnt want to purchase a car with a bad reputation of aftersales service. but i agree most people by now should know that toyota has the most spare parts but still good to remind them that every now and then. Besides, things could change through the years and other brands may have caught up in terms of the aftersales and parts availability that the public may not really know about
in years 2005 to 2006, as service for the board of directors, general manager & clients, our company purchased two units of hyundai starex because they were cheaper with added features compared to toyota hi-ace & nissan urvan. the units were maintained by various hyundai service centers. starting years 2009, minor engine, transmission & electrical problems were observed with both starex vans. which are seldom experienced by the company's older toyota hi-ace vans. in year 2012, both the starex vans were almost unusable due to recurring engine & transmission problems despite help from various hyundai service centers. the board of directors & the general manager decided to purchase toyota hi-ace vans. in year 2014, both the starex vans were bidded-out to the public.
TBH I am slowly enjoying TopGear a Philippines' reviews and comparisons these days. Hopefully you guys can cover video reviews on more least known cars too!
Guys, @TopGearPhilippines, i gotta say i love this kind of review, it feels organic, and well thought of... watching most if not all the car reviewers in ph, some are very matter of fact, listing all the information like a ppt presentation, others are fun but can be trying way too hard at times. this is a good balance. like the classic Top gear i watch growing up, its on brand that we get to see you guys interracting,agreeing or arguing with each others opinion. tho it would be too costly to always do a large scale comparo. this is top notch stuff! kudos
Nanonood lang din ako before kahit wala pang pambili. Nag-ipon ng malaki-laking DP (para maliit ang monthly). 2020 nakakuha rin ng family car (Toyota Rush - sobrang sulit!). 2025 target to get a personal car.
The best car reviews and comparison I’ve ever seen pointing out the main pros and cons of each car. Though, Hyundai gets the plus points, am not considering buying it here in the Phils. Thank you guys for giving a fair and honest reviews👍!!
Thanks for this very honest and straight forward review. Now my mind changed for my 1st choice. I still need to watch some more reviews like this for me to make a final decision which is which. Thanks TGP.
Because of the Part 1 and Part 2 tests. You got 1 new subscriber. These kind of tests are the ones I'm looking for. But I think I'm looking for the Ertiga/XL7 for the MPVs. But I really loved this test. Stargazer FTW! 🥳🥳🥳
Daming galit sa comment section ah. Tinest lang naman nila at ayun ang naging resulta. Madami pa ibang reviews/tests (magbabasa ka nga lang ng subtitles) na similar ang results. Pano isasali ang parts availability at resale value sa testing? Di rin naman same yan sa lahat ng areas ang parts availability at resale value. Bili lang po kayo ng napusu-an nyo kasi di naman kayo pinipilit bumili ng nag top 1. Wag na magsabi ng masasama sa review at sa nag rereview. Haha
@@bravemaster99 tama pre galit lang sila hahaha Stargazer nanalo but even this review is out we still got the Xpander because to the part availability.
honda and toyota reliabilities and long terms of use will compensate sa two years after these results..saka still peace of mind even after 5 years of ownerships..pag hyundai medyo may kaba na .mitsubishi is in the middle..
Agree, I recently bought a 2023 Avanza. A lot of people saying I should've bought this, should've bought that, etc. It's not like i haven't done any research and took into consideration my budget. Love your own. And the correct response from telling people that you bought a new car is "Congratulations".
Lol. No one is taking your car away from you sir. This review is for the benefit of future car buyers and it matters. Maybe not to you but to others. Personally I like the BRV but with this review, I’m leaning towards the SG. But of course choosing a car is subjective but facts/numbers don’t lie.
Great review! Every car has pros and cons. The only perfect car is the one that you're driving right now. So better choose the one that you think is the best for you. To all the buyers, go do research, visit dealers and do test drives. Select the one that your heart (and budget) truly desires.
I like the Xpander Cross but I get its shortcomings. The parking issue can be easily resolved by getting parking sensors btw, thats like the easiest fix these days. While i do agree overall the Stargazer is a well put together package, its still too expensive and that drivers instument cowl is just ugly. Also why wasnt the XL7 included in this?
Good point on the parking sensors. I think the reviewers specifically stated in part 1 that they were reviewing compact MPVs (0:18 of video) and the XL7 is categorized as an SUV. Similarly the Veloz should not have been included as it is marketed as a crossover SUV, the Avanza should have taken its place in the review.
@@TheDadiDodo the XL7 is not a SUV no matter how badly Suzuki Philippines wants to make it one, its a crossover MPV at best. The dimensions of the XL7 match up with all the other competitors to top it off.
Wow stargazer #1 but i chose xpander cross hehehe simply because i love the xpander cross i dont need more tech the tech inside the xpander cross is enough for my daily ride it makes me happy!
We are considering the stargazer kahit hindi namin masyado type yung itsura nya.haha Kaya lang napansin ko lang si hyundai hindi consistent sa mga line up nila sa Pinas. Like yung mga previous models like kona,eon,accent etc na ok naman pero wala na dito sa Pinas pero available pa din naman sa ibang bansa. Ang tendency pag nawala na yung unit pati parts and accesories magiging pahirapan na din makahanap in the future.
Go for innova sir if kaya ng budget. We came from innova d4d and the only reason why hindi yung 2.8L na innova ang kinuha namin is due to garage space.pero very happy kami sa napili namin.better driving experience and better fuel consumption.
27:46 says the 4th place is mitsubishi xpander but the visuals says hyundai stargazer. If I heard it right, value for money: 1st place: hyundai stargazer 2nd place: toyota veloz 3rd place: honda br-v (140k diff with veloz) 4th place: mitsubishi xpander
I appreciate this Big Test video. It truly helps the people decide what MPV's to buy and getting the value for their money based on their personal preferences. Thank You!
We were about to choose the stargazer over the veloz to replace my mom’s car but she insisted because of the looks. If it only looked more feminine she would’ve prolly chose it lol. Anyways, we got the veloz a month ago and we’re happy that we have no regrets whatsoever :)
I can set the design aside, but that poor all-around visibility is a major problem for me. That dashboard is obtrusive enough to lessen my field of vision on the road, and that high door windows lessens it even further.
@@gab_khn everybody has their different needs by buying a Car..some need outlook, some need feature, some need safety, some need power or need spacious... so be happy with ur choice.
@@troy5568 by my experience, u just can set the adjuster seat a bit higher to get clear view without distraction from the dashboard. But, in my country now stargazer got inprovement new design dashboar lower than before so get better view... fast response from Hyundai 👍. And according to second row window which is look high maybe for a short people a bit annoying, but for some people think is more privasi. And if u take eldest people like ur parents, they don't need big effort to get in to the car with low ground clearance.
Can you do a 1L Turbo-charged and naturally aspirated sedan comparos for us cheap blokes (Nissan Almers, Toyota Wigo, KIa Picanto, Suzuki Celero, Hyundai and the like) ?
I noticed on the Veloz during aircon review on the 3rd row seat that 2 flaps of the aircon were down on the 2nd row under the guy wearing glasses. that's why the 3rd row seat didn't feel any airflow of the aircon. even though the other side has 1 flap had straight ahead but that's not hitting directly to the guy on the 3rd row seat.
The Stargazer is really nice if only it did not look that ugly, looks are completely subjective. Although it checks all the boxes cant get over how it looks. But again amazing review 👍👍👍
Sana sinama nyo din suzuki ertiga/xl7, and Nissan Livina. Maybe for another bigger test? But this is really good, showing almost all the aspects of the car. Great job!
pareparehas lang yan fwd, if you will keep it in the long run, buy the one with better engine aftersales parts, match it with a transmission that isn't cvt.. also, don't start arguing with higher ground clearance for floods, coz your ECU should always be a factor, that even SUVs consider when crossing floods.
You do notice it when parked beside a BRV or Xpander Cross, but in city use, even with seven on board, you won't be scraping over any humps. Issue lang is the chin when parking up against the curb, and it still clears most curbs.
The fact that they did not inlcude the suzuki xl7 was way too disrespectful. Actually my friend was 5'9 and he fit in 3rd row in XL7 , xl7 would battle for space and comfort
Guys, thanks for the comparison but I am surprised that in two long videos there was no talk of safety features. That should be the most important point in choosing a car, no matter how much is your budget. Crash rating? Air Bags? Other safety features? Door Beams? Some models don't have a headrest in the middle of the middle row seats. That means chances of whiplash injury. etc. Please do not take safety lightly because when you do the manufacturers do also take safely lightly. Not a word! Not sure why!
The stargazer wins as it adheres to what already tested body design of you can remember ford's van, Ford Aerostar, even the concept was really the same only the difference that time, being round isn't gonna work in the market even for the manufacturing part so they retain the design but Aerostar came as boxy as ever but now the Aerostar concept became manufactured and released for public use that is why it will sell.
Seems like the Steering wheel for Mitsu still takes a hit even on their newer car designs. Wonder if it's the same design flaw present on their montero's...
For longevity, it's always been Honda and Toyota. Less broken incidents. Even if it's break, always easy (and cheap) to find the parts. For modification, we've Malaysia, Thailand, & Indonesia for parts.

For me Honda BRV-VX is the best and value for money when it comes to Safety, fuel economy and other usable features.

Reverse camera with guidelines, Reverse Part sensors Assist, Full 2nd Row seats tumble Up(more cargo space), Aircon with Quick cool feature,
Right side view mirror Lane Watch camera for blind spot detection.
It also has the best look amongst the rest of the cars. The stargazer might win most of the categories, but man, I just dont like the way it looks
@@californiaboy1254if your buying for looks then don't watch this videos😅
nope
Toyota is the best but Honda is 2nd.
Honda BR V wins! ❤
Even though, the Hyundai Stargazer won but I think the interior looks and Info-entertainment of Toyota Veloz is much attractive...
But why is fuel efficiency not scored in this test? That's one of the key areas that I'm sure many people consider when getting a new vehicle.
Puro malakas sa gas mga yan, walang fuel efficient jan.
I think these MPVs in general are very fuel efficient given its size and their function as people haulers. They drive like sedans.
@@jasonaguilar3496Brv po sir
mag motor ka nalang prii kung gusto mong tipid hahaha
Kahit anong makaya ng Veloz, pero mas good looking, fuel efficient and hi power & clearance si BRv
These kind of tests are the ones I look for. No b.s, all facts and real life scenarios. Hope to see more of this.
The Veloz used is the base AT variant, but price mentioned is for top variant. If this was corrected then the Veloz would have finished top in value for money & tech features
I have Stargazer ivt gls ..... the best mpv and looking car there. Look like a small spaceship during night. Very unique , ikaw lang meron pag may stargazer ka!
it looks like a mudfish infront. so weird
Ampangit kasi sad but true
happy for the stargazer. that said, i don't regret buying the brv. :)
Thank you for confirming my decision to get a Hyundai Stargazer. Test drove it out no lag during shift changes, NVH is great, leg and head rooms are better than expected. ALso tried the Veloz and Expander same feedback as yours. Did not consider the new BR-V at the onset cost muc h higher than the Stargazer. Would have been great if the Stargazer was equipped with a front and rear dashcam to do away with running cables around the unit's interior. IF factory equipped it will definitely be more seamless. . Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this comparison! I still choose BRV since its just better looking overall. Stargazer’s looks just doesnt appeal to me.
Not surprising anymore since even with MPV comparos from other countries like Indonesia, Stargazer won by a mile.
It was an eye opening review from you guys. You guys did very well. You scored the cars in significant categories for daily driving. Safety and spacious interiors score big points in my book.
Stargazer is the best in this match in allmost all categories
And still whos number 1 mpv? I think expander hehe
@@rogelkoaegunsk1421number 1 in sales probably but stargazer is definitely a go to.
This convinced me to get the stargazer X. No regrets, had a santa fe and a tucson, parts are hard to find but it doesn't break down as much as other people think hyundai cars do. It's all in the maintenance and driving habits
Glad we could help. Yes, maintenance is really dependent on habits. Hope you enjoy your Stargazer for many more years!
I still chose Toyota, Honda and Suzuki! Fair enough si Veloz and BR-V since both has Toyota Safety Sense and Honda Sensing. Although si Veloz may 360 degree view while si BR-V has none. Power wise mas mataas hp ni BR-V over Veloz. Folding system sa Veloz is fully flat while sa BR-V may lift ng konti for the 3rd row seat. Again Veloz & BR-V still my choice. Including XL-7 in my choice due to its fuel economy and comfort with its suv styling same as the BR-V kahit di kasama sa comparison 😊
The Veloz used is the base AT variant, but price mentioned is for top variant. If this was corrected then the Veloz would have finished top in value for money & tech features
After watching this video part 1 & part 2. I finally bought a stargazer.I’ve been considering buying mpv this past few months. Really a big help from you guys.Well appreciated. Thank you.
Bought a BRV after testing them all. No regrets. Bahala kayo jan sa brand wars niyo. 😊
One cannot go wrong with either Honda or Toyota quality. Their engines and transmissions are simply built to last a lifetime with minimum maintenance. Have an 07 Odyssey with 325,000 miles and 03 Tundra with 250,000 miles; both with original engine and transmission. Neither has been rebuilt; just normal wear and tear parts and fluid replacements.
Yes goods n goods tlga ang Honda..
Honda owner here ❤
Good job with the review guys. Hats off to Stargazer owners - - - that is one solid MPV. Very consistent performer even with other reviews in the region. And super good looking.
Not to take anything away from the other brands. All are awesome units. Really depends on the driver.
I go for the BRV if want something smaller with the bells and whistles.
The Veloz for practicality. This is a good everyday MPV.
The Xpander is still good looking. But based on the review - was little bit caught up with its old format. Good that it has the chance to still improve in later versions I hope.
The Stargazer..well all the good things combined with a competitive price tag and performance. Simple well balanced.
Keep up the good work. TopGear team.
I will go for Toyota over long term ownership and cost in owning/maintenance.
@@jerryching6858really depends on how you maintain your unit. I agree that Toyota is known for durability specially in the PH market, the other brands are not that far off and are becoming very competitive which is good for the market.
@@jasonvillaroman2348m
bro hyundais pms cost is way more cheaper than toyotas... what are you on @@jerryching6858
BRV still for me. I love the Gen 2 looks. 😍
I'm curious as to how aftermarket factors like maintenance and spare parts availability/cost will affect the cars' final rating.
Even if you rank Hyundai as last place for 1 point, it'll still win.

proud and satisfied Stargazer owner, yep!
Is the ride really comfortable? Comfort is top priority for me. I'm planning to buy the Stargazer X this October. Thanks.
@@haljordan6498 I actually just test ride the stargazer but the premium variant, its freaking spacious, the handling is so soft, and yes, super comfortable.
@@haljordan6498you can never go wrong with hyundai. We have stargazer premium, ertiga and expander gls. I can say that my top choice will still be the stargazer. But when it comes to carrying cargos i will choose ertiga.
I've been watching many reviews and comparissions already.
So I was already expecting the Stargazer to get the win. Glad to know it did not disappoint.
To be painfully honest, I feel quite bad for people who bought the 2023 Xpander Cross. Even before watching this grand comparo, I've seen tons of reviews of those featured MPVs and for a hefty price of 1.33 million pesos, it's the second-most expensive MPV after the Honda BR-V but the cheaper Stargazer and Veloz get more features than the Xpander Cross.
And, yes, I can already feel people rebutting at me about the Xpander Cross's high ground clearance, aggressive looks, parts availability..... their top 3 ace cards to be played against other MPVs. They do themselves, but again, again, and then again, most buyers will take into consideration the most the value for money, and the Stargazer easily takes the CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, CAKE. (stream cake by itzy btw🍰)
So yeah. All I can say is that it just makes no sense to buy an Xpander Cross on the practical side. Either spend a few more 5-digit pesos for the most-feature packed BR-V, or just go for the Xpander GLS if one wants to get the Xpander line because most features that can be found on the Cross are also available on the cheaper GLS. But then again, best value for money, the Stargazer.
Good point on seriously considering the Xpander GLS over the Xpander Cross for the Mitsubishi buyers.
meron din + yang Xpander kahit ganyan yan nagagamit din yan sa malubak at bundukin na terrain compare sa Veloz na dadamage ung ilalim sumasagad sa matataas na hump specially pag full passengers. Meron po kami both Veloz at Xpander and pag Veloz owner ka talagang masasaktan ka pag sumasagad ung ilalim ng sasakyan mo, tsaka pag may baha, nakaka tulong din ung ground clearance ng Xpander.
@@noelhingco8467 yes! You won't miss out too much on the GLS versus the Cross-their differences are just mainly aesthetic/cosmetic.
@@ratstar4102 perhaps the only major disadvantage when buying the Veloz.
@@eyyydoddska kaya nga sabi ko "Kahit ganyan yan" sabi mo kasi "I felt bad?" pano naman yung mga owners ng Veloz na nakatira dun area na my maraming bulubundukin at mataas na humps? Di kaba na fefelt bad sa bawat kalabog ng mga bato sa ilalim ng Veloz? Ano ba advantage ng safety features ng Veloz tumatalon ba cya pag sumagad na ung bato sa ilalim? hahahahah
You guys are changing my mind about the stargazer
proud owner of Toyota Veloz, i prefer 360cam over cruise control specially in day to day city driving, they should have consider the after market value and maintenance
Same here i like a car with 360 cam.useable sya when parking sa masikip na lugar
Cruise control useless yan lalo na traffic dito sa atin
we like in Bicol with long & winding roads and 360 cam & safety sense is more useful than cruise control....
For me when talking about value for money,fuel efficiency is important ,built quality and durability matter most. Specially for us who can only spend a million maybe once in a lifetime just to buy the best of them
we got our stargazer premium last May. so happy with our decision 😁
If you're going for the look of an SUV with the utility of an MPV, I think the BR-V has the best balance of both.
Xpander GLS owner here. Maybe its lacking sa tech pero pro/tenured driver naman ako so I dont need those tech kasi pag driver ka talaga noon pa hindi mo na need niyan. It may provide you comfort but those tech are for newbies. I really bought XP 2023 because of the ground clearance and pogi looks compared to those mpvs out there.
This is my opinion. I respect the review but still Im confident with my xpander especially pag may baha 👌👌
From vios to xpander by the way. Toyota matibay talaga we'll see if matibay din si Mitsubishi.
AHAHAHA this is the same reasoning my dad is using right now 😅 We're currently checking out which car to buy right now since our Mirage has some issues, and we are agreeing on XP Cross (or wait for the new Strada, but I doubt my mom has the patience to wait for it)
I agree. Stargazer maybe we'll for value of money but I can't appreciate its design. It's so weird! lol
We, the “newbies”, will just enjoy these techs sa traffic and especially sa long drives 🤭
@@JSaints47 well my xp gls has auto hold, auto parking brake and cruise control so still not bad
"pro" 🤣🤣
The Veloz used is the base AT variant, but price mentioned is for top variant. If this was corrected then the Veloz would have finished top in value for money & tech features
nope, it's actually the top of the line
Proud stargazer owner here😊 thanks topgear for the review🎉
Nice review! I still go with Xpander Cross among all these other MPVs. Aftermarket is good too and based on statistic (my own research) Xpander Cross and Hyundai Stargazer are the best selling MPVs as of today. kudos to you all guys!
Thanks for the Nice review ! big eye opener for us that we made the right choice ! also, please check the note on 27:45 mark, 4th place should be xpander cross and not Stargazer. 😊
Out of the bunch stargazer is the best transmission makes the 1.5 seem powerful and can manage torque better than the other it's just that gdi engine is bad news🤣 they could've just used the good old port injection.
Congratulations to Stargazer. I was rooting for veloz but hyundai really did good with the stargazer. Although i am not a fan of its looks, its too futuristic for me.
Same sentiment.
Its the stargazer’s biggest problem, its looks really.
I don't like the dashboard either.
After this review, I was seriously considering the Stargazer (orig plan was Veloz). Then I see its looks and back to Veloz again 🤣
Parang typical futuristic car design nung 80s
This used to be the playbook of Toyota, late in the game but comes out refined.
This time, it's Hyundai playing the game. And played the game right they did.
I believe this is the 2nd time Hyundai came up with a winner. First one was the Starex decades ago.
safety features and engine wise - IMHO BRV is top followed by Veloz besides I could get the Honda BRV-V variant w/c cost less the the BRV-VX having same CVT transmission...atsaka hinde nila binigyan ng pansin ang after-sales and part availabilities...yong sakit ng ulo in the long run hinde mabayaran ng anong pera. Parang yong perspective nitong review is more on first vehicle buyer..ok yong feature ng stargazer kaso off talaga yong design same then ng Veloz hinde masculine or sporty ang dating 😀😍
Agree, stargazer is so weird. veloz has the least ground clearance. Hello it's rainy season!
@@akcirrrtv9979again, subjective
You just said it yourself. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I didn't like SG at first on screen. But when I saw it in actual real life, fell in love with it.
Thank you for this! We are planning to buy before year-end. I'm going for Veloz ❤
Good Test, but sana nainclude yung kung sino ang good if you are loaded with cargo and passengers since this is a family car. Then yung aftersales parts, yung hindi ka maghihintay ng MONTHS para sa parts and kung gano kaganda yung customer service nila and yung maintainability and quality, baka kasi maganda lang sa una pero after 2 to 3 years lalabas na yung mga sakit agad.
Very nice comparison m STARGAZER is WINNER
For me the battle is only between the brv and veloz. If budget is a concern go for veloz, otherwise will go for brv. It has the perfect balance of sporty and classy look, power, reliability, safety features and tech. But veloz is a good option, again if budget is a concern go for veloz. Turn off lang for me yung low ground clearance nya.
xpander cross for me is trying hard to look macho na naging oa na too much blings here and there pero dami naman lacking na features for its price. If really eyeing for a mitsubishi brand xpander gls is already a good choice.
Stargazer not a fan of its look, it’s also trying hard to be different. And if I will buy a car, i’ll buy the one na I’ll be proud and happy to drive. Yung masarap tingnan sa daan.
1. Brv
2. Veloz
3. XP cross
4. Stargazer
This is my opinion lang naman ✌️
pogi stargazer in person,at very fuel efficient, nagrent kmi at super wow, 4300 manila to vigan gas
same thought Sir, I was choosing between BRV & Veloz and ending up choosing the Veloz... right choice for me since after I familiarize the driving techniques, na feel ko yun katipiran nito... "driving comfort like a Car, but a looks of a SUV, especially yun interior looks ni Veloz"
@@sgpz boss kmusta sa paakyat, aLam ko maLakas sya sa Lahat ng nakita kong reviews, pero may npnuod ksi ako nag-skid sya sa paakyat
Same ranking.. I go for Brv for salvage value, reliability & power.. Stargazer looks too futuristic for me.. Tsaka lets accept it, mga pinoy mas hiyang sa japanese brands.. Like Apple vs Samsung, nasa dugo na ng pinoy yan..
Xpanders from the oldest to the latest models have an evaporator for the 2nd row AC. They've always been mistaken to be blowers only because it has inlets just above the front row seats. The evaporator is located up there near the inlets. I've always thought they're cold and have good airflow, riding all 3 generations of the Xpander, so I don't really know why in this test they said it's not that cold or the airflow is quite low.
Yes. I also noticed that they are hating and overreacting on the Xpander Cross in every way when it’s actually not that bad.
@@ivanlloyddunton1957lol bro i agree. I think this is "sponsored" by hyundai
@@prieljannescarilla5122 For some reason, I'm inclined to agree. There barely has been anything negative mentioned about the Hyundai, regardless if it's really good or not.
Same reaction, Xpander Cross is not that bad they are overreacting about the brand maybe. Even the vibration part.
@@vindioshabel1729 I also noticed that they haven't been consistent with what to look out for. They praised the space and bottle holders of the hyundai, as well as the charging port at the back when they didn't even mention such for the xpander.
Again, I'm not an xpander fan, but the way the contenders have been graded seems to be inconsistent. Way too much favor for the hyundai.
No regrets for choosing Veloz. Power, ECO, Slope, Normal, and Manual drive modes, too many toys inside the unit. Nakaakyat na dn sa Mt. Gulugod Baboy. ❤️
One of the reasons many are getting the Xpander Cross is the huge discount. The discount is 100k from the SRP.
Not worth it. Your passengers at the back suffer. Ang INIT!
@@noski33 well seems you were mis informed or perhaps the ac was not properly set.
Hyundai's efforts to outdo the Xpander yields a star that leaves them all in stardust!
No way... expander has the biggest sales and still on top until now 2024
@@jbangz2023 and guess what whose leading the MPV sales it's Xpander lel.
Number 1 in sales just because it is mitsubishi. But if you put a different badge on it then it will not be on top sale.
People buy just because of the badge not about the factors
Sana you've included tests in other terrains so viewers are able to get ideas as to what would best fit their needs..urban, rural ... countryside.
Very good review and comparison. For a buyer like me, it is very helpful. I could say that Hyundai listens to this review and came up with a stargazer X. Which definitely runs additional miles away points. 😊
Now, all I can consider now is my monthly amortization of stargazer x and avanza top of the line. I will use this as a delivery business but this will be another story. 😅
Job well done guys! Kudos to Top gear.
Going for stargazer.. Thank you
Before, we're torn between veloz and stargazer. I've just really loved how the interior of veloz looks plus the 360cam. After watching these videos, it helps me decide which is which, we'll go for comfort before style, at least for me, a lady driver, who doesn't need my car to look macho. SGX for me. I just wish, SGX has 360cam and I couldn't ask for more. I guess you really couldn't have it all hence the price😅
Glad we could help with the decision!
guys please do this again and include stargazer x, the custin, suzuki xl7 and or the ertiga. Thanks a lot
This has to be the most eye opening car review in the market. Practical use instead of spec sheet battle.
the one wearing glasses at the captain chair oozes a leader attitude. Some that you will follow. The one at the back though has the most likeable personality. Someone you can comfortably be friend with.
To y'all planning to buy a 7-seater car for your family, I highly suggest you watch these videos Part 1 and Part 2. Top Gear PH did a great job in reviewing them. Kudos to the team! :)
PS. Now this solidify my choice of buying Hyundai Stargazer not just because of its looks.
Was eyeing Veloz. After watching this, i booked a test drive for Stargazer tomorrow..hahaha😊
@@rainraingoaway1482the X has released btw
Watching the review too we already got the Xpander GLS.
I think the tests could be better if you take the points of each category put them in percentage as to which bears heavier weight in each category of features. I think safety points and crash ratings would help as well as ground clearance points should carry heavier weight than others and as such should have a bigger percentile in the overall grading. Throw in parts availability and after-sales service in there as well. After which, you could give a title to what each is best for such as best for flood, best for NVH, best for comfort, quietest cabin, best in tech, best for practicality, best safety, most balanced choice m, etc it will help people decide even better. You’re reviewing the car itself but when people buy a car they’re not just buying into the features, they also look into after sales and service cost and ease. And these things should also factor into the purchase of a vehicle.
They couldn't possibly accurately rate after sales since most of these cars are brand new. It's common sense for most people that Toyota would have the most spare parts by far.
@@arcaine101 well i would say after sales speaks more about the brand than the car model afterall, we wouldnt want to purchase a car with a bad reputation of aftersales service. but i agree most people by now should know that toyota has the most spare parts but still good to remind them that every now and then. Besides, things could change through the years and other brands may have caught up in terms of the aftersales and parts availability that the public may not really know about
I do agree with this, they forgot to include the after sales service. Its one important thing to consider in buying a car
in years 2005 to 2006, as service for the board of directors, general manager & clients, our company purchased two units of hyundai starex because they were cheaper with added features compared to toyota hi-ace & nissan urvan. the units were maintained by various hyundai service centers. starting years 2009, minor engine, transmission & electrical problems were observed with both starex vans. which are seldom experienced by the company's older toyota hi-ace vans. in year 2012, both the starex vans were almost unusable due to recurring engine & transmission problems despite help from various hyundai service centers. the board of directors & the general manager decided to purchase toyota hi-ace vans. in year 2014, both the starex vans were bidded-out to the public.
TBH I am slowly enjoying TopGear a Philippines' reviews and comparisons these days. Hopefully you guys can cover video reviews on more least known cars too!
Guys, @TopGearPhilippines, i gotta say i love this kind of review, it feels organic, and well thought of... watching most if not all the car reviewers in ph, some are very matter of fact, listing all the information like a ppt presentation, others are fun but can be trying way too hard at times. this is a good balance. like the classic Top gear i watch growing up, its on brand that we get to see you guys interracting,agreeing or arguing with each others opinion. tho it would be too costly to always do a large scale comparo. this is top notch stuff! kudos
Ako lng ba dito ang mahilig manuod ng mga car reviews, kahit walang kotse at pambili 🤣
You’ll have one one day. 😊

Thanks for this very honest and straight forward review. Now my mind changed for my 1st choice. I still need to watch some more reviews like this for me to make a final decision which is which. Thanks TGP.
I wanted to love the stargazer but just couldn't get over the face of the car.😢
The white-black is lovely
Like a mudfish or catfish daw
That's correct the face is like a mud fish
We purchased the BRV and are very happy with it
Because of the Part 1 and Part 2 tests. You got 1 new subscriber.
These kind of tests are the ones I'm looking for. But I think I'm looking for the Ertiga/XL7 for the MPVs. But I really loved this test. Stargazer FTW! 🥳🥳🥳
Daming galit sa comment section ah. Tinest lang naman nila at ayun ang naging resulta. Madami pa ibang reviews/tests (magbabasa ka nga lang ng subtitles) na similar ang results. Pano isasali ang parts availability at resale value sa testing? Di rin naman same yan sa lahat ng areas ang parts availability at resale value.
Bili lang po kayo ng napusu-an nyo kasi di naman kayo pinipilit bumili ng nag top 1. Wag na magsabi ng masasama sa review at sa nag rereview. Haha
Ganyan talaga mga butt hurt hahaha hindi lang nila maamin sa sarili nila na nagkamali sila ng nabili, kala nila yun na yung maganda. 🤣🤣

what toys are you saying thats lacking on the veloz? Yes it doesnt have the cruise control. +40k for TSS and 360 cam is a great value.
Agreed, how do you play with the car that has cruise control anyways
Im an Xpander Cross owner, I respect the result. I just love my car, that's it. And no one can ever take that from me, these tests dont matter.
Agree, I recently bought a 2023 Avanza. A lot of people saying I should've bought this, should've bought that, etc. It's not like i haven't done any research and took into consideration my budget. Love your own. And the correct response from telling people that you bought a new car is "Congratulations".
"These tests dont matter" mindset nang taong closed minded sa opinion.
Of course it matters, its one of many tests tested by professionals.
Lol. No one is taking your car away from you sir. This review is for the benefit of future car buyers and it matters. Maybe not to you but to others. Personally I like the BRV but with this review, I’m leaning towards the SG. But of course choosing a car is subjective but facts/numbers don’t lie.
@@Elcasadekotse point taken.
@@sicj02Subjective.
Great review! Every car has pros and cons. The only perfect car is the one that you're driving right now. So better choose the one that you think is the best for you. To all the buyers, go do research, visit dealers and do test drives. Select the one that your heart (and budget) truly desires.

Kindly include after market service in your test.
+1 to this. It's our every day use, that is why we need to set our expectations if in the future those who top are still a good value for money.
I like the Xpander Cross but I get its shortcomings. The parking issue can be easily resolved by getting parking sensors btw, thats like the easiest fix these days. While i do agree overall the Stargazer is a well put together package, its still too expensive and that drivers instument cowl is just ugly. Also why wasnt the XL7 included in this?
I agree XL7 should be included here
Good point on the parking sensors. I think the reviewers specifically stated in part 1 that they were reviewing compact MPVs (0:18 of video) and the XL7 is categorized as an SUV. Similarly the Veloz should not have been included as it is marketed as a crossover SUV, the Avanza should have taken its place in the review.
@@TheDadiDodo the XL7 is not a SUV no matter how badly Suzuki Philippines wants to make it one, its a crossover MPV at best. The dimensions of the XL7 match up with all the other competitors to top it off.
Wow stargazer #1 but i chose xpander cross hehehe simply because i love the xpander cross i dont need more tech the tech inside the xpander cross is enough for my daily ride it makes me happy!
We are considering the stargazer kahit hindi namin masyado type yung itsura nya.haha Kaya lang napansin ko lang si hyundai hindi consistent sa mga line up nila sa Pinas. Like yung mga previous models like kona,eon,accent etc na ok naman pero wala na dito sa Pinas pero available pa din naman sa ibang bansa. Ang tendency pag nawala na yung unit pati parts and accesories magiging pahirapan na din makahanap in the future.
Gusto ko sana ng stargazer, kaso yan ang main reason bat ako nagdadalawang-isip. Maybe i would go for innova nalang.
Go for innova sir if kaya ng budget. We came from innova d4d and the only reason why hindi yung 2.8L na innova ang kinuha namin is due to garage space.pero very happy kami sa napili namin.better driving experience and better fuel consumption.
27:46 says the 4th place is mitsubishi xpander but the visuals says hyundai stargazer.
If I heard it right, value for money:
1st place: hyundai stargazer
2nd place: toyota veloz
3rd place: honda br-v (140k diff with veloz)
4th place: mitsubishi xpander
i wish the suzuki xl7 is in this comparison as well
Thank you for this great review! Can you please adjust the volume for each person so they are the same level next time? Thanks!
I choose Honda BRV with Manual Transmission.
Good job with your review, guys!!
Value for money should include safety feat and resale value.
We need more reviews like this per segment.
very informative, helps me significantly to decide for my next car..big thanks Sirs
I appreciate this Big Test video. It truly helps the people decide what MPV's to buy and getting the value for their money based on their personal preferences. Thank You!
If u dont mine the look of stargazer because design is very subjective...Stargazer is the best and recommended car for a family..no offense
We were about to choose the stargazer over the veloz to replace my mom’s car but she insisted because of the looks. If it only looked more feminine she would’ve prolly chose it lol. Anyways, we got the veloz a month ago and we’re happy that we have no regrets whatsoever :)
I can set the design aside, but that poor all-around visibility is a major problem for me. That dashboard is obtrusive enough to lessen my field of vision on the road, and that high door windows lessens it even further.
@@gab_khn everybody has their different needs by buying a Car..some need outlook, some need feature, some need safety, some need power or need spacious... so be happy with ur choice.
@@troy5568 by my experience, u just can set the adjuster seat a bit higher to get clear view without distraction from the dashboard. But, in my country now stargazer got inprovement new design dashboar lower than before so get better view... fast response from Hyundai 👍. And according to second row window which is look high maybe for a short people a bit annoying, but for some people think is more privasi. And if u take eldest people like ur parents, they don't need big effort to get in to the car with low ground clearance.
Stargazer updated soon on the interior and crossover version soon
How can you test or score handling when the driver drives it so slow. You need to use the cones, that is the pros way.
Can you do a 1L Turbo-charged and naturally aspirated sedan comparos for us cheap blokes (Nissan Almers, Toyota Wigo, KIa Picanto, Suzuki Celero, Hyundai and the like) ?
I noticed on the Veloz during aircon review on the 3rd row seat that 2 flaps of the aircon were down on the 2nd row under the guy wearing glasses. that's why the 3rd row seat didn't feel any airflow of the aircon. even though the other side has 1 flap had straight ahead but that's not hitting directly to the guy on the 3rd row seat.
The Stargazer is really nice if only it did not look that ugly, looks are completely subjective. Although it checks all the boxes cant get over how it looks. But again amazing review 👍👍👍
Ang ganda ng series na 'to. Thank you!
Best review that answered all my questions and I now know what to get. I’ll Subscribe
Sana sinama nyo din suzuki ertiga/xl7, and Nissan Livina. Maybe for another bigger test? But this is really good, showing almost all the aspects of the car. Great job!
Ertiga and Livina inclusion yes as they are compact MPVs but the XL7 is categorized as an SUV so is not of the same category
pareparehas lang yan fwd, if you will keep it in the long run, buy the one with better engine aftersales parts, match it with a transmission that isn't cvt.. also, don't start arguing with higher ground clearance for floods, coz your ECU should always be a factor, that even SUVs consider when crossing floods.
Veloz/Avanza and Stargazer are basically the lowest riding of the bunch. 185mm ground clearance for Hyundai, 190mm for Toyota
Avanza is 180mm. Veloz is 190mm. SG is 185mm.
You do notice it when parked beside a BRV or Xpander Cross, but in city use, even with seven on board, you won't be scraping over any humps.
Issue lang is the chin when parking up against the curb, and it still clears most curbs.
Try mo sumakay sa brv para kang nasa seda sa baba hahaha
The Stargazer X coming this October has a higher ground clearance of 200mm.
"the best car is the one you liked"
This
The fact that they did not inlcude the suzuki xl7 was way too disrespectful. Actually my friend was 5'9 and he fit in 3rd row in XL7 , xl7 would battle for space and comfort
Guys, thanks for the comparison but I am surprised that in two long videos there was no talk of safety features. That should be the most important point in choosing a car, no matter how much is your budget.
Crash rating?
Air Bags?
Other safety features?
Door Beams?
Some models don't have a headrest in the middle of the middle row seats. That means chances of whiplash injury.
etc.
Please do not take safety lightly because when you do the manufacturers do also take safely lightly.
Not a word! Not sure why!
Hope you will have a comparo review sa creta with other crossovers 😊
Could you guys do a review of hybrids too?
We are always looking for more options of cars to pit against each other
The stargazer wins as it adheres to what already tested body design of you can remember ford's van, Ford Aerostar, even the concept was really the same only the difference that time, being round isn't gonna work in the market even for the manufacturing part so they retain the design but Aerostar came as boxy as ever but now the Aerostar concept became manufactured and released for public use that is why it will sell.
More comparo please.... Isuzu MuX, Nissan Terra and Mitsubishi Montero
I'll take the Honda,Toyota, mitsubishi & last Hyundai in tha order...durability, realiability & resale value...by the way, I ordered à BRV-V..
For me stargazer or veloz number 1 number next is brv and xpander
All cars are designed differently, the only common denominator to each brand are the budget limitation to manufacture each design.
Seems like the Steering wheel for Mitsu still takes a hit even on their newer car designs. Wonder if it's the same design flaw present on their montero's...
For longevity, it's always been Honda and Toyota.
Less broken incidents.
Even if it's break, always easy (and cheap) to find the parts.
For modification, we've Malaysia, Thailand, & Indonesia for parts.
It's always depends on the user :p
