Family Van... Grandia GL, Starex TCi, or Nissan nv350

**crosswind** · July 6th, 2015 07:05 PM

For me The Starex is the best choice because of it's non refrigerator type designed.
For me driving a Flat nose van even with crumple zones is scary parang nasa harapan ko na mismo pwet nung kotse na sinusundan ko.
The starex offers better comfort for it's passengers. The VGT GLS is a nice pick with 178horses under it's hood

And also yung TCi ng Starex i find it torquey na. Yan ang dahilan kung bakit ako bumili ng starex noon. Although sa Grey market ako kumuha.

i have seen sa pricelist starex WGT... whats the diff w/ vgt? whats grey market? is it surplus?

Yeah tci GS is torquey enough for its class but if you match it with these two vans which has lighter body, starex tci is way too far in terms of torque. And starex crdi entry level price start at almost 1.7m. I don't hate Grand Starex but with that price, i'll go with Super Grandia.

Don't know what is the difference. Bago lang yata yan WGT na yan. Pero parang parehas lang specs niyan.
Grey Market ay importer they sell brandnew Grand Starex but KDM specs.
PM me if you want one from Grey Market

CMIIW, but from my understanding WGT means Wastegate Turbo which means that this uses conventional turbocharger?

Grey or local? Nakita ko kasi dito nasa almost 1.7m ung crdi. Hyundai Pricelist Philippines - PRICE LIST
Anyways, if i were him ( dudee ) i'll wait for the other variants of nv350 so he can choose enough on what he really needs on a van.

Edited: Sorry i didn't know that starex has different turbo charge variants on CRDI version. Well i saw the price of WGT crdi. It has only 136 HP which is well enough on its big fat body. At 1.5m WGT crdi, it's a good choice over 1.5m GL grandia. Again, i still go with refrigerator type.

I just don't like the big nose fatty starex. Sorry to the users, no offence meant.

I've seen the specs of WGT over VGT. Well, VGT is still way better than WGT. VGT crdi can give the starex a 170+ hp while WGT crdi can only give 130 hp. In grey market it can be, used and new vehicles import.
