Despite having a four-speed automatic transmission, the Ertiga consumes about 9-10 km/L in city driving. On the highway, you can expect it to have an average fuel consumption of around 20 km/L. Notwithstanding, the figures are expected to drop to 7.5-8 km/l and 15-16 km/l if you carry additional cargo.

Honda BR-V (29.8 Points): Php 1.038.000 1.158.000

The second candidate on the list of “MPV cars in the Philippines” is Honda BR-V

The Honda BR-V was first launched in India. Other rivals like Hyundai have a chance to dominate the market in this segment as this brand has been out of SUV space, apart from its premium CR-V.

However, we think this  BR-V is still a nice seven-seater MPV Philippines for fuel economy. According to ARAI-tests, Honda BR-V performs well at around 8,8 km/L when driving in the city; meanwhile, a 30-minute drive on the highway with a 90km/h gives back 21 km/L.  Hence, the Honda BR-V is pretty great at an affordable price.

Suzuki XL7 (29 Points): Php 1.073.000

Another seven-seater MPV Philippines entry into this list is Suzuki XL7. This vehicle comes with a 1,5-liter K15B engine similar to its siblings the Suzuki Ertiga and Suzuki Jimny. Besides installed with different sets of wheels and accessories, this XL7 looks beefier and quite more eye-catching with its front fascia than the Ertiga.
