Hyundai Accent 1.6 E MT (2014) vs Foton Gratour Midi Truck MPV Single AC (2022)

Hyundai Accent 1.6 E MT (2014) vs Foton Gratour Midi Truck MPV Single AC (2022): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer, choosing between these two depends entirely on your primary need. The Hyundai Accent 1.6 E MT (2014) is a compact sedan with a powerful 128 PS diesel engine and 260 Nm torque, offering excellent fuel efficiency and highway performance. It seats 5 people, has a 6-speed manual, and is front-wheel drive. At ₱728,000, it was a good commuter car, but it's now discontinued, so you'd be buying used. The Foton Gratour Midi Truck MPV Single AC (2022) is a body-on-frame MPV/AUV with 14 seats, making it ideal for large families or as a utility vehicle for passengers or cargo. It has a gasoline engine (110 PS, 142 Nm), rear-wheel drive, and costs ₱690,000 – slightly cheaper and currently available with a 5-year warranty. If you need passenger capacity and versatility for business or big families, the Gratour is the practical choice. If you prioritize driving dynamics, diesel economy, and a smaller footprint for city driving, the Accent would be better, but availability is limited to the used market. Overall, for most Filipino buyers needing a multi-purpose vehicle, the Gratour offers better value and utility.
