The newest SUV you can get for your money would probably be the Santa Fe or the Everest.

Haha! Well, college ako dala ko Revo then naging Innova... pero mukha naman daw ako matanda for my age even back then. So, wala lang ako masyado concern on "perception" I guess, mainly function lang muna. hehe!

If gusto mo least sakit ng ulo among the three, I would personally say the Fortuner 2.7Gas model is a good option (assuming city driving is the main location where you will use the vehicle).

Hilux, kahit anung gawin mo, matalbog yan kapag walang load. Sumakay na din ako as passenger niyan, 20 mins trip pa lang, hilo na ako. So, for me, I wouldn't recommend.

Between Monty and Fort that are diesels, I pick the Montero to be honest kung performance lang criteria, but problema mo lang if natapat ka sa ASBU sa daan na bigla ka natempt humarurot or tumapak. Baka biglang bumuga ang Montero ng itim or dark grey na usok. Naiwasan ko lang ito sa Montero namin nung nag Unioil ako, pero sa Unioil lang. Sa Big 3, meron at meron pa din pag hinataw.

Yung D4D din ng Toyota, sa akin lang, medyo maingay. Sabihin mo na tahimik sa loob kahit papaano, pero outside, maingay talaga compared to other diesels for whatever reason. Lola ko ayaw na idling yun sa enclosed parking kasi naririnig ng ibang tao (drop off area, bahay ng kaibigan etc). So gusto niyo either park ako sa labas (open area) or patayin ko agad. hehe!

So dahil sa ingay and/or issue ng ASBU, kaya ko nasabi consider Fortuner 2.7 Gas G or V Trim. 1) malamang sa hindi malaki binagsak na ng price nito dahil gas siya hindi diesel at ang SRP nuon vs diesel units were already lower, trim vs trim ng Fortuner.
2) mas mura ang maintenance nito
3) di ka matatakot sa ASBU or LTO registration =)
4) tahimik inside and out so yung sound system mo, kahit hindi upgraded ang speakers, rinig mo. Panget ang stock speakers ng Montero (Fyi) and yung AVT unit ng Montero, prone to failure. Yung amin napawarranty ko na dati nung 2 years old, after 3 years, sira na touchscreen ulit. So hindi tatagal ang Montero head unit in my experience. Pag nagpalit ka ng Head Unit, malamang sa hindi, damay speakers mo. =)
5) Since depreciated na siya na around 8 years, wala na siya masyado magiging "loss" sa depreciation. Ika-nga, pako na presyo siya kahit papaano or mas mabagal na ang down slide ng pricing.

Hope that helps. This is entirely my opinion

Your GF should be happy you're looking far into the future w/ an Innova.[emoji4]

TS, try to check Nissan Navara 2009 - 2012 models. May mga nakikita ako na pasok sa budget mo.

Happy hunting. Cheers!

Thanks so much for this insight! Nasaan kaya ang fc ng fortuner 2.7 G/V?

Expect 5-6km/l city, 9-10 highway.

I suggest you look specifically for the Montero GLX model, iirc that was priced at 1.3M, 1.1M after discounts brand new a few years ago before the 3rd gen was released. Baka may machambahan ka 2013 or newer model with your budget.

Nakasakay na ba GF mo sa Fortuner or Hilux? Hilong talilong siya sa dalawang yan. Sa (old) Fortuner nga, ako na driver pero nahihilo pa din ako. Hilux and Fort wont beat Innova sa comfort (and even in space).

But kung porma is more important than function, go for Montero because of comfort.
