First and foremost i would like to say you have an excellent and informational forum here. I'm a longtime lurker and decided to join so that you can help me arrive to a vehicle purchase decision.
I'm choosing between the above models for my purchase. This will be my first ride. My passengers would be my wife + 3 kids (7,3 & 2 mo. old) and a yaya. We normally travel to batangas 2x a month, other than that bahay office lang.
Since i'm a new car owner i'm really clueless on what to buy and haven't visited any toyota dealer because i want na meron na akong alam na konti pag punta dun.
Another question is that if i get it for example at 40% downpayment what other fees do i have to pay, so that i will know my total cash out.
I'd go for the Innova, as it's roomier. Still, it's not as roomy as a Crosswind (the XTO is in the same price bracket), but it's okay, I guess, if your yaya will be comfortable riding in the third row with the luggage.
The Avanza is big enough, actually, but there's no space for cargo.
Best bet? Take the whole family along and go to the showroom to check how it fits.

I'd go with the Innova J with the 2.0L VVT-i engine please and manual transmission.
It is roomier, has a better engine, good power-to-weight ratio, longer wheelbase (which will translate to a better ride), etc.
Aside from the downpayment, you also need to pay the first year's comprehensive insurance, 3 years LTO registration fee, & chattel mortgage fee (since you are getting one in installment terms).

i agree with mazdamazda, it is jut bigger and suitable for your growing family. however, not same standard features.. G is top of line compare to J
I'm going with Innova J. It's bare compared to the Avanza G, but then it's more spacious and has a better engine (assuming you're getting a Gas model).
if you are going for a gas engine = you can choose either avanza or innova
if you want more space and comfort for the passengers = innova
if you want a compact ride = avanza
if you dont have enough money but want a top of the line model = avanza G
if you have enough money but bare model = innova J
engine displacement:
innova J = 2.0
avanza G = 1.5
for me, i would go for the Avanza G.. mas gusto ko kasi ng compact vehicle, madali pa ipark, doesnt need more space sa garage, walang problem sa traffic at sa mga eskinita o kalsadang masikip.. at medyo matipid sa gas compare sa innova..
i appreciated ur reply to this thread, im a begginer and also looking for a good buy.

Hindi naman dahil sa ubod ako ng tamad, pero importante nga ang power features. Yung sa Picanto nakakairita nung bagong kuha, walang power locks. Pinagbubuksan ko pa lahat. Sa mall, kailangan ko pa ibigay ang susi sa guard, etc. Pinalagyan din naman ng central lock at anti-theft soon after.
Power windows are a good feature to have also. I alternate between the Pajero (power windows) and the W123 MB (pawis windows) and it really makes me appreciate the Pajero's power windows. Lalo na't may mga guardhouse ngayon na nasa passenger side na ang guard. Makes it easier to communicate with people on the curbside also (e.g. magtatanong ka sa tao dahil nawawala ka na).

Insurance, LTO, chattel mortgage among others. Some accessories may also require up front payment since they cannot be integrated into the financing scheme.

It's best to do this. Arrange for a test drive also. Mahirap naman kung too late mo nang malalamang may biyahilo pala si yaya at susuka lang ng susuka while seated sa 3rd row. Check which one will hold your childseat better. This is assuming you transport your kids using the appropriate seating and restraint systems.

problema na lang talaga siguro yung mga bagahe, although hindi naman ako lagi fully loaded.
i think pwede rin lagyan ng topload sa taas yung avanza for extra luggage.. just like other AUVs like revo, xwind, adventure.. kaso wala pa ata nito available for the avanza..

Kindly check if the Avanza has a load-bearing roof. Not all vehicles is capable of such and might cause structural damage in the long run.
For example, the Adventure even has roof rails as standard but upon closer inspection it is indicated that those are for "aesthetic purposes" only and should not be loaded regardless of weight.
Avanza G or Innova J? What to buy?
Linear Mode
