Here’s a look at the 40 most inquired-for cars in the Philippines, based on data from AutoDeal.com.ph. This ranking is determined by the percentage of total inquiries each model garnered compared to the rest of the market. The percentages are derived from the total number of inquiries received on the AutoDeal platform. This quarter, we’ve been delighted to see several brands stepping up their game, delivering top-performing models across various segments and capturing the broader market’s attention. Ford Ranger Ford Ranger Kicking off our list at number one is the Ford Ranger, commanding an impressive 3.2% of all site traffic to its inquiry button. The Ranger has clearly struck a chord with Filipino buyers, especially with a brand-new generation now available in the country. Prior to this latest iteration, the Ranger had already cemented its position as a strong contender in the pickup segment, offering a compelling blend of features and capability. The fresh design of the new model has undoubtedly amplified its appeal, making it the clear frontrunner in terms of buyer interest. Toyota Hilux Toyota Hilux Hot on the heels of our top pick is the Ranger’s perennial rival, the Toyota Hilux. Toyota has long been a dominant force in the ladder-frame pickup truck category, and the Hilux’s legendary reputation for durability and reliability continues to resonate strongly with Filipino consumers. The nameplate itself carries significant weight, promising longevity and proven performance. This enduring appeal translates directly into high inquiry volumes, with the Hilux securing 2.98% of all inquiries on AutoDeal. Nissan Navara Nissan Navara Securing the third position is yet another pickup truck, marking a dominant start to our list for this segment. The Nissan Navara has firmly established itself as a market favorite, attracting 2.71% of all inquiries. It comes as no surprise to see the Navara among the top contenders, given its blend of rugged capability and surprising comfort. Featuring a coil-sprung rear suspension, the Navara offers a more refined ride compared to some of its direct competitors, making it a compelling proposition for Filipino buyers seeking a dependable workhorse that doesn’t compromise on comfort. Toyota Raize Toyota Raize Transitioning from the realm of pickups, we enter the crossover segment with the Toyota Raize at number four. This affordable crossover from Toyota offers a practical and efficient solution for urban drivers, blending utility with a compact and maneuverable footprint. Its elevated ground clearance allows it to navigate road imperfections with ease, while the trusted Toyota badge ensures peace of mind in terms of reliability. The Raize has captured the attention of 2.64% of all inquirers on AutoDeal. Ford Everest Ford Everest Just narrowly behind our fourth-place model, the Ford Everest, the SUV sibling to the Ranger, claims the fifth spot. Benefitting from a recent redesign that brought a fresh and modern aesthetic, the Everest has recaptured buyer interest. While its predecessor was beginning to show its age against newer rivals, Ford’s comprehensive update has clearly paid off. With 2.63% of inquiries directed its way, the Everest demonstrates the success of the Blue Oval’s strategy in revitalizing its midsize SUV offering. Mitsubishi Xpander Mitsubishi Xpander The most popular MPV on our list is the Mitsubishi Xpander, a model that has consistently performed well in the market. Currently holding the sixth position, the Xpander accounts for 2.35% of all inquiries. Following a targeted update that gave it a refreshed exterior, the Xpander has maintained its competitive edge against a strong field of rivals. As the leading MPV in our first-quarter rankings, it highlights the enduring demand for practical and stylish seven-seater vehicles in the Philippines. Toyota Vios Toyota Vios Holding the title of the most popular sedan on AutoDeal is the ever-present Toyota Vios. It’s no surprise to see Toyota’s venerable subcompact sedan on this list. The Vios commands 2.09% of all inquiries, underscoring its continued relevance and desirability among Filipino car buyers. Instantly recognizable and a ubiquitous sight on Philippine roads, the Vios maintains its strong showing despite the growing popularity of other vehicle segments. Its enduring appeal is a testament to its reputation for reliability and value. Honda BR-V Honda BR-V Earning the eighth spot is the Honda BR-V, distinguishing itself as a strong contender in the MPV category, positioned just behind the segment leader. The BR-V received a significant update last year, generating considerable anticipation among prospective buyers. This seven-seater boasts respectable power and torque figures, offering a compelling blend of performance and practicality. Coupled with Honda’s signature driving dynamics that have endeared the brand to many, the BR-V presents a strong alternative for those seeking a versatile family vehicle. It secured 1.99% of all inquiries on AutoDeal. Ford Territory Ford Territory The first compact crossover to appear on our list is another entry from Ford, the Territory. Since its introduction in 2020, the Territory has carved out a significant niche in the market. Even with an anticipated update slated for the second quarter of 2023, the model continues to attract substantial interest, accounting for 1.92% of inquiries. The Territory’s value proposition—combining a well-regarded brand with a host of features—resonates strongly with Filipino buyers seeking a feature-rich and stylish compact SUV. Suzuki Ertiga Suzuki Ertiga Rounding out the top ten is the Suzuki Ertiga, representing the third seven-seater MPV to grace our initial rankings. The Ertiga has carved out a strong position in the market by offering a compelling balance of affordability, reliability, and practicality. This model has recently been enhanced with a mild-hybrid system, further elevating its appeal by offering improved fuel efficiency without compromising on performance. With 1.87% of total inquiries, the Ertiga demonstrates that Suzuki continues to deliver strong contenders in key segments. Nissan Terra Nissan Terra Claiming the eleventh position on our list is the Nissan Terra, a formidable midsize SUV that has made a mark in a highly competitive segment. Despite entering the market later than some of its key rivals, the Terra has established a strong presence. The second-generation model, with its updated interior and exterior, offers a compelling package that includes modern features and a degree of luxury. The Terra garnered 1.76% of all inquiries during the first quarter of 2023. Toyota Avanza Toyota Avanza Another seven-seater making its mark on our list is the Toyota Avanza, currently in twelfth place. Recently updated with a new chassis and drivetrain, the Avanza now shares more in common with a crossover, offering a more refined ride quality while retaining the robustness that has defined the model. Equipped with essential features and carrying the trusted Toyota badge, the Avanza remains an accessible option for many buyers. It accounted for 1.73% of all inquiries received. Toyota Hiace Toyota Hiace The Toyota Hiace continues its reign as a dominant force in the full-size van segment. It is difficult to separate the Hiace from the category itself, as it consistently leads in nearly every metric. With a wide array of variants available, including the luxurious Super Grandia, the Hiace caters to diverse needs. We anticipate that the standard Grandia models are the primary drivers of the 1.62% of inquiries directed toward the Hiace, securing it the thirteenth spot on our list. Toyota Wigo Toyota Wigo The shorter and more compact sibling to the Raize, the Toyota Wigo, secures the fourteenth position. This small hatchback has long been a staple in the Philippine market, valued for its affordability, the strength of the Toyota brand, and the model’s reputation for reliability and practicality in urban environments. While compact, the Wigo is certainly capable of handling longer journeys, as evidenced by its presence on this list. With 1.53% of inquiries, the Wigo also claims the title of the most popular small hatchback for the first quarter of the year. Mitsubishi Xpander Cross Mitsubishi Xpander Cross While the standard Xpander leads the MPV category, its more rugged sibling, the Xpander Cross, also makes a strong showing at fifteenth place. The higher price point of the Cross naturally limits its accessibility compared to the standard model. However, its distinct styling and enhanced features continue to attract significant interest. We believe that prospective buyers are often drawn to the added value and premium attributes of the Xpander Cross, which is reflected in the 1.50% of
