NISSAN GRAND LIVINA
Despite showing its age, Nissan gave the Livina some refreshing by adding Highway Star kits. The result? No need to buy imitations but the high end model flirts at a million bucks. Lack of diesel engine and low ground clearance means limited appeal.
The Good: A driver's delight, car-like and nicely kitted.
The Bad: No diesel engine and dual aircon
Price Range: P858,000-P1,008,000
