Considering the number of new segments and models that have popped up in the Philippine market over the past few years, you’d be forgiven for failing to keep track of how much certain offerings go for now. For example, did you know the all-new Toyota Avanza starts at a smidge over P800,000? Yes, Toyota’s long-running MPV remains relatively affordable—as do a handful of other models in the segment like the Suzuki Ertiga, Haima V70, Kaicene Honor S, and BAIC M50S. What do all of the above-mentioned vehicles have in common? Besides being MPVs, of course, all of them carry price tags under P850,000. So yeah, the segment is still capable of catering to more modest budgets. The thing is, you need to know how to look. Obviously, we aren’t talking top-of-the-line units here. The list below comprises either base variants or MPVs from less-known Chinese manufacturers. Again, though, we’re looking at affordability here. Let us know if you think these prices are a good reflection of the cars’ actual value in the comments. 1 Toyota Avanza J MT – P813,000 PHOTO BY Toyota If you’re willing to settle for—or actually prefer—shifting with a manual transmission on the road, then the Avanza’s base variant might be the most logical choice in the MPV’s lineup. Like E units, this one packs a gasoline engine with 97hp and 122Nm of torque. It’s also more than P100,000 more affordable, too.

That’s a substantial step up in terms of power and torque, but it’s price tag is also the closest to the P850,000 cap we put on this list. 4 Kaicene Honor S – P585,000 PHOTO BY Niky Tamayo Now, for the most affordable entry here. Let’s face it The main draw is the price tag under P600,000.
