Car Profiles - Suzuki APV

SUZUKI APV

After an update six years ago, only a new color palette and set of rims (for non-GA models) were brought to the table. However, the Avanza undergone a surgery and with the Ertiga's existence, there's little reason to buy this one.

The Good: Lots of headroom, styling is funky if you appreciate Doraemon.
The Bad: Slow. Newer competitors are better alternatives.

Price Range: P575,000-P820,000
