Suzuki APV Type II SGX AT (2015) vs Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLX CVT (2025)

Suzuki APV Type II SGX AT (2015) vs Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLX CVT (2025): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer deciding between a used Suzuki APV Type II SGX AT (2015) and a new Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLX CVT (2025), the choice hinges on primary use. The APV is ₱21,000 cheaper at ₱820,000 but is a 2015 model with a discontinued status, a 1.6L gasoline engine producing 91 PS and 127 Nm, a 4-speed automatic, and rear-wheel drive. Its body-on-frame construction, 7-seat capacity (2+2+3), and MPV body type make it ideal for hauling large families or cargo, especially in areas with rough roads. However, it is older, less fuel-efficient, and likely has higher maintenance costs. The Mirage G4, at ₱841,000, is a current model with a 1.2L engine (78 PS, 100 Nm), CVT, and front-wheel drive. It is a unibody sedan with 5 seats, offering better fuel economy, modern features, and easier city driving. For a buyer prioritizing passenger and cargo space for a large family or business use, the APV is better despite its age. For daily commuting, efficiency, and lower running costs, the Mirage G4 is the superior choice.
