So I am actually now due for a company car . My absolute budget limit is 3.6M which is composed of my existing company allowance and me having to sell my existing 2015 Kia Carnival 11 seater. I will not add anything more as am also saving for the LC300 when it arrives end 2021.


My choices are:

1) 2021 Kia Carnival 2021 7 seater

2) 2020 Ford Expedition 4x4 EL with captains seats ( there is a 1M peso discount now so it fits in the budget) otherwise its out of tbe picture if the discount isnt there

3) Wait for the all new 2021 Ford Explorer


So personally I like the ford explorer more (mid size, 4x4, all new digital tech, strong engine, paddle shifters!, etc) but the time horizon is unknown . They also fixed the 2020 bugs with a slightly updated 2021 version. Its a Gas guzzler but it will also provide moderate driving fun because of the twin turbo ecoboost , paddle shifters, all-new Rwd platform and the smaller size than the expedition.

The Expedition EL is A HUGE land barge yacht which will be very comfy but the tech is not the latest (though its not too shabby at all). Zero driving excitement hehe but with a lot of presence and useful space. Gas guzzler. 1M discount is MEGA value so am considering it. Otherwise it will be too expensive. Lots of value for money.....

The Kia Carnival 2021 has THE MOST tech..a solid but uninspiring 2.2 CRDI diesel engine (its all new even if it makes the same power output as before)..and honestly looks the best as well . It also has paddle shifters as you can see in the video so yeah i can probably enjoy driving it. There are gray market available units now as we speak. Local stripped version will launch in 2q next year.

They are all roughly 3.5m to 3.6m


I wont entertain adding any more to get a different car. 2nd hand out of the question either (there are 3.5M lexus rx350 f sports and Porsche Macans out there by the boatload).

Wont consider any sedans (not my type), super grandias or alphards (good cars but nakakaumay na and besides am getting another toyota in the form of the LC300 in 2021), small crossovers, sports cars, 2 for 1 , PPVs, pickups, etc)

Am not sure what my top criteria is anymore. But id want it to have presence and driving fun in the few times i will drive it.
