Correction: The Isuzu MU-X 4x2 featured here is the LS-E, not the LS-A. Price and specs stated are otherwise correct.
Hello sirs do you have exact measures of the the box ? I just compare on my trailblazer
sir I wished you've included the Nissan Terra♥️

Man, you guys get the weak sauce engine for sure ! Here in the South Pacific, ours get the 2L with 210hp or the 3L V6 with 250hp. Also has adaptive cruise control too !!

Woohoo! Been waiting for this SUV comparo! Hoping to see the other brands go head to head as well. More power Top Gear Philippines!
Family SUV, get the Everest.. Sporty SUV feel, get the Montero Sport...
Durable & long term use, get the MU-X
Everyone here is amazed by the all new isuzu mux which we can see it has a good reviews especially who own an mux, but does anyone here who take side for the montero sport? i bet you have a good choice also by choosing it than the other competitors. Believe me it has good fuel consumptions and the comfort especially when you use it for long drive i've never disappoint why family choice the all the new montero sport.
Nice review! I drive an isuzu mu-x LS-A 3.0 and this review definitely didn't let me regret my choice. One think to point out though is the acceleration of mu-x from stop, it is a bit slow but once you reach cruising speed you will feel it's power.
thank you for this comparison video. I learned a lot even if I haven't driven any of those SUVs
Between these 3 SUV's, I'd pick the Everest. Ride comfort is a priority for me. Next are power tailgate and tech features.
if i buy a Ford i only use it for 3 years then dispose it
In the Philippines, sakit sa ulo ang ford unlike dito sa dubai walang sakit sa ulo ang mga owner dito.
@@gutadin5 lol my F150 ford 2017 best truck i've ever had basta maintained mo ang maintenance service. baka ikaw lang problema hindi ka nag papalit ng oil change since binili mo
I prefer the Isuzu MU-X compared to the Montero Sport and the Everest
Great review, Top Gear Philippines! For someone who's looking for an SUV, this video will help them a lot to decide which one best suit for them.
salute to this 3 guys, breaking down the pros and cons, now i know which one will chose to buy, thanks guys.
Thanks for the review. I finally decided what to buy and that's Land Cruiser L2 😍
I just bought a 2022 MUX and I chose it not because of the facade but the durability overall. If you want to buy an SUV with this price, it should be durable enough to give better returns. To add to the context, I sold my Ford to buy an MUX.
gays always throwing shade.
Try BRC intercooler ecu remap n full exhaust...its fast.
Same here.. just sold my titanium for an MU-X upgrade :)
@@michaeldoma5881 congratulations for your downgrade
@@michaeldoma5881 what year was your Everest titanium?
I owned a 2017 mux...grabe sobrang tipid ng gas...sobrang durable at solid suspension ang chasis...you can't go wrong with isuzu
When buying a car, always consider the ride comfort... Since 2016, the Ford Everest is no. 1 in ride comfort.... Be it in concrete road.. but more amazing is, the Everest rides comfortably on rough road.... If you always travel long distance, Everest is the best for you.
But Ford is hard to fix..
@@harveyhong2505 I have a Ford Everest for 6 years already...no issue at all ..
@@harveyhong2505I have a 2005 ford everest which I still use as my daily driver 😊
@@harveyhong2505depende lang yan pag maintain ng sasakyan mo, meron naman mga Toyota Mitsu Nissan na 2019 may mga sira na.
nagkalat na po ang parts ng ford dati mahirap pero ngyon mga galing na ng Ford Thailand ang parts kaya mas mrmi na parts na masmadali dn hanapin @@harveyhong2505
Comparing the MUX and Everest on fuel economy is only 0.3kilometer. I prefer to go for Ford. The ride quality, spacious, infotainment system, panoramic, stering wheel and more tech
Our 2022 Mu-X is about a year old now. So far, we love it! Pros of the car is its space and practicality. May mga features na kulang but it’s okay, I think Isuzu’s approach is more on practicality and long term usage. I must say that the suspension of the Mu-X is really disappointing. In fact, mas comfortable pa sakyan yung first generation Mu-X (2014 model) namin. Acceleration of the car is also a bit sluggish but once you’re on the move, engine remains calm and capable naman at speeds 100 km/h above. Nababawi naman sya ng fuel economy hehehe. Steering is also a bit heavy pero it’s an advantage on long drives because you’ll feel that you have much control of the car. In conclusion, no car is perfect talaga. You’ll have to decide what really works for you. And most importantly, let’s avoid brand wars! 😊
wheel size & tire profile factor
dapat sa tire pressure mo tingnan baka naman over ang pressure kaya matagtag
steering mas ok yan medyo mabigat kasi pag maka apak na may tubig hindi basta sumimplang. yung mga malambot ang steering dilikado.
Iba talaga pag si Anton ang reviewer
soon makakabili din kami ng MUX. my dream family car❤
The mux’s firm ride is really good for long twisty roads because there’s less bodyrole compared to the others,a softer suspension just makes me more nauseous on those kinds of roadtrips but if you are just going on rough roads or just a pebbled road a softer suspension is good.
On the Fuel Economy part, you could have changed the Montero Sport's option to show KM/L instead of L/100kms
soon makakabili din kami ng MUX. my dream family car
Nice 👍 Information 🙂 Thank You 👍
Coming from a Ranger, I’m going for the Montero. Not too soft not too hard. Pang Goldilocks.
Mitsubishi is getting an update on the Montero Sport and Strada next year. Though the current one can keep up with the latest cars
Yeah but overall, i'll still choose the Montero. Kasi gwapo tingnan .
mas gusto ko yun looks ng 2nd Gen Montero 2015 than Gen 3 looks.
Montero Sport tayo
My Mitsubishi avg is 11.1km per L on a mixed hwy and start stop commute. Or if I take it easy I get 12.65km per L. Way better than the 9km tested on this video.
ang laki ng improvement ng MU-x the best SUV so far for Me.
MUX IS THE BEST MID SIZE SUV FOR THIS COUNTRY LIKE PHILIPPINES CAN DO EVERYTHING RELIABLE AND COMFORTABLE
i would love the stability, durability and fuel efficiency of a car, thats the three major factor im looking for a car.
Ah what you're mentioning is the Mu-x.
Know what better comparison to feature? BASE MODELS! We see these higher trim models featured all the time. Time to step it up, or rather step it down a notch 😅
I think its quite good for a firm suspension on the mux than having a softer one present on the everest as this segment are all based on ppv platforms which are workhorses. Also that firm suspension makes your ride more agile when cornering lessening the body roll of the car. Well for those opting for a more comfortable ride maybe u should buy a crossover instead✌️🫡
After all that. I think Isuzu Mu-x is a great pick among the three, heck I’d still buy the Terra tho haha
Montero sport driving pleasure. Just like driving sedan with lift suspention
I observed that there was no mention about MUX's breaklights, which imo are too small. I have seen larger breaklights on small cars.
Not surprising that the mux won the fuel economy part. In my experience, Isuzu really tunes that throttle more for economy and you really have to put your foot down to get more power. It would really be nice if they can give it atleast some basic drive modes like toyota does.
Its only 0.3 difference to Ford.
@@sealoftheliving4998 yup but on 50% more displacement
@@fullbass1426 agree. for 3.0 turbo diesel thats quite impressive.
I'm being a fan boy here, but 360 degree cam can be fitted after market and so can the suspension with Tein EDFC which can stiffen or soften the sus with click of a button. Add both these accessories + MUX's prices will be closer to Everest's price. The fixed 2nd row is a bummer but as shown in the video the 3rd row still has best space, so I can live with it.
Sadly here in India we only have one car dominating SUV space - that is the Toyota fortuner. Ford left India but is planning to bring back the Everest and EVs. Isuzu still offers old gen MU-X and the Skoda Kodiaq is a petrol only, Mitsu also left , Jeep Meridian is just Compass XL, MG Gloster comes with all the latest gadgetry and off road hardware but is more of a mall crawler. Long story short we are screwed.
& if anyone has made it till here, thanks for reading.🤗
Hope u do the same for the top of line 4x4 variants.
Buti nalang my Subtitle 😆 for me I'll still choose MU-X the Durability and Reliability is really good!
I like how they chose to drive in Balanti, Tarlac hehe the Everest looks the most badass tho.
Engine performance, montero talaga. Imagine 3.0 vs 2.4 halos split sec. lang difference sa 60-100kph, di pa nagkick yung mivec nyan ah
Nice review! This one really helps me to decide what to buy.. i wont reveal it though.. its just safe to conclude that you wont get the best of both worlds..
Wait for Innova hybrid. Mahal na diesel, lugi na sa SUV.
Sana all may ganyan na car at magaling magdrive
as to mux, maybe 18inch rims with thicker tires will add comfort
Fuel consumption should be computed full tank basis.
Budget wise, looks, designs, features, and comfort. Montero win!!!!!
Include also sana the warranty of each auto company/dealer
Have you tried Global Dominion Financing Inc. for car financing?
I owned first gen MUX, still using it and it stand out amongst Montero/Pajero and/or Fortuner.
Still a montero lover after all
please include the terra and fortuner in your comparo
Sir totoo po ba na wala na pong montero ralliart kc ngtanong ako sa isang branch na saglit lng at inalis n daw? Thank you po gobless
no fortuner and terra?
Montero pa rin… 😊😊😊❤❤❤
The Everest is the clear winner imho. The fuel economy is right up there with the MUX but the ride comfort and extra features clearly make it the better mid-sized SUV.
sana full tank from start and end yung sukatan for the fuel consumption
How was the tire pressure on the MU-X? The old one (Gen1) rode quite alright, maybe even better than the current Montero Sport. I was surprised.
I heard from upgrading owners that the new mux is a bit stiffer but handles better than the old one. My prev gen rides alright too, comparing sa montero na soft pero medyo maalon.
I remember when fetching from the Casa our newly bought Mux last 2018, the tire pressure where 50 psi which I only learned days later and decreased it to 32 psi at nawala ang tagtag. Dont know why 50 psi nilalagay nila, kasi yun din ang na-discover nung isang kebigan ko na me bluepower model din
@@jcsommersby7913 for long storage in the yard
tire pressure not mention para malalaman natin ang comfort of riding.
All of you should've used the new 2023 ford everest titanium 4x4 not the 4x2
How about the fortuner 4x2 ltd?
Mux, montero, and everest
You can't go wrong with Isuzu Mu-x
Maayo nalang gyud MUX me. Very comfy next to our nissan navara
This video could have been better if the Terra and Fortuner were included.
You did not include the Terrra on this.
Go mu-x
This is just a random test. Yuo can judge which suv is better at least when u used it let's say a year. My montero is 5 yrs old now but didnt faced any issue.
isuzu. i had a everest before and i can a test to this and its a hassle to own issues with turbo hose, transmission( often get stuck at 3rd gear), after sales and services is stupid. so if i were to buy another suv i rather have a isuzu or toyota. no hate just personal experience.
what year and variant was your Everest?
@@gutadin5 17 eve 3.2
@@DL.j how many mileage on the odometer when the issues started to come out?
Damn this is sad to hear. I thought everest was the most competitive and no issues the ford have here in the Philippines compared to its other units
@@gutadin5 25k
why not include terra?
Buying the best car is one thing, but after sales service and maintenance is another. Why not do a review on that too.
Ask lang kung when it comes to technical or engine problems alin ang mas mabilis hanaoin na piyesa, sa montero ba or sa terra? Pa-help naman, i'm in between of these two suv's.
Montero for sure
The fuel mileage efficiency will depend on the driver. Better yet, if only one driver tested it for more accuracy.
Good comparison, although there are two things I noticed that I don't agree with, firstly the leg space in the 2nd row between the passenger knees and driver seat is a bit better in the Mux than in the Everest but both very close in that department. Then in the back load space, really you guys wants to tell us that the Everest has better space than the Mux i don't agree with you all on that one either, the space between those 2 boxes loaded in the Mux is definitely bigger if you look at the gap between them two, although they both very good in that department. My choice would be the Mux and i must say the Montero Sport is also a very good buy i do like it alot, the Everest on the other hand i do like also exept for that big tablet that looks more like a Volvo on the inside and also not the best looking SUV on the inside either, the other problem with Ford is the reliability on the long run which is not the best and we all knows that.
you blind
iive owned and driven these suv’s. the everest always have the plushest interior amongs them all. its beyond comparison!
I thought I was the only one who doesn’t like the tablet in the Ford.
@@tungstencarbide7255 you haven't been in one arent you?
@lolitamonsood6852 are you a ford sales agent you keep on defending it... 😂😂
using the cars vehicle fuel computer doesnt seem to be the most sensible check…. I still believe in the manual computation, full tank, zero trip meter, travel, full tank again then compute the fuel consumption…. Believe me, the vehicle fuel mileage aint a good basis, especially between three different vehicles and different manufacturers….
wow everest
Why these three brands doesnt make innova competitor?
bilis mag taas ng price ng isuzu last year yung base 1.59 now 1.650
Agree! Mas magaan kasi montero saka mas maliit ang kaha.. pag 0-100 talo yan. Ginawa kasi nila running start
tama, pang dulo kasi yan montero na tune
magaan tlga yan Montero kasi alluminum yan engine nya
@@acc1tester398 Tama ka sir duduluhan cla Ng Montero pinaka mabilis pa Rin na suv Montero
@@acc1tester398 sa arangkadahan supot ba etong gen 3 montero?
@@acc1tester398 baka Hindi mopa nasubukan Yung eve grabe din dulu nag top Ako Ng 195 iwan nayung Montero na gls
That is not an Mu-X LS-A. If that's all stock, that color and mags is available only for LS-E variant.
yup those rims are 20s. LS-E.
ALL NEW MUX 3.0 4jj3 torque and power the best yan wing.............! tulen
Everest for the win. They did not mentioned in pros the panoramic sunroof and infotainment which is both wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto and with wireless charging too and much better screen. FC is negligible because its all depends on the driver. I prefer the normal CC than adoptive CC too. Or better do compare the base variant, coz that is the model almost everybody will get for their money.
I mean if your buying those when choosing a car then idk 😂
Dude you have a room to spare in 3 cargo test on the MU-X
@14:47 why didn't you use empty boxes? those boxes looked really heavy hehehe
Tinangay lang kasi namin sa bahay yung props at walang oras magtanggal ng mga laman. Time to stock empty boxes. 😂
Yeah, that's what i thought. The good side is, we witnessed how struggle or easy it is when it comes for loading heavy cargoes.
60km/h is your cruising speed?😢
Montero sports here gen 2 at gen 3 4x4..king of the road... woohoo
Take all those SUV's and drive them on curvy, uphill and downhill roads for an hour or two with passengers and see who does best and whose passengers (mix of children and adults) will come out less stressed.
Everest for the win!
sana kpg may new fortuner and new montero, and nissan terra na may ganitong comparison vid ulit ❤️
I noticed why you did not include the Nissan Terra 4x2 and Toyota Fortuner 4x2 ??
what is the reason?
Maybe the two are outclass
When is the release of the new Montero?
Next year most probably
The bigger the engine the better.
Bigger vehicle might have issues parking
The ride compy is depend how much you inflate the tire. Simple
It seems you’re implying that the car’s overall suspension is not a factor at all on it’s ride comfort 😂
Comfort on driving and comfort for passengers, I'll choose Montero all the way.
Sa top speed sir iiwan yan clang dalawa Ng Montero
@@carlmaromarzan515 lol 3.0 yang MUX iiwan yang maliliit na makina haha
@@oobibab9572 hahaha sa akyatan lng malakas mux mo sa highway mabagal yan
@@carlmaromarzan515 malakas na ngayon ang tune nang bagong mux, undertuned kasi for efficiency yung nauna na 3.0 pero once ma remap yun iwan lahat ng maliliit na makina kahit patag o sa akyatan pa.
@@oobibab9572 depende pa Rin Yan sa tuner Kung maganda ung remap sa Montero kain alikabok parin mu-x
Given that every people's needs are different, im for Everest all the way! Not the most powerful, but it has the best interior, best ride, and the biggest. It also feels the most luxurious of the 3. It turns the most eye in the road especially in the snowflake white pearl color. Definitely a winner
Comfort doesn't matter these days, what matters most is fuel efficient specially gas prices are way too high.
Exactly, practicality is top priority these days, might as well go for MUX.
It all boils down what matters to you. For me, ride comfort and handling is a big factor.
Ive driven montero sport. 11hour drive. The driver seat is comfortable on a long drive, 2nd row seat is not comfortable sa long ride. Power malakas kaso parang ung namaneho ko na montero sport d ganun karesponsive yung gas pedal. Montero sport 2021 model ata un. Top of the line. Okay naman diesel consumption niya. Matipid din. From montalban to tabuk. Halos Kalahati lang nabawas sa full tank.
There are no faster cars....just crazier drivers. 😄
why is it thay Fortuner is not there 🤔
Montero
Ford Everest for me...
