VinFast VF 3 

It’s not surprising to see the Vietnamese compact electric car at the top of the list.

Given the progressive movement of electric mobility in the Philippines, the aggressive marketing strategy and pricing of the model, as well as the good mix of cute and strong character the VF 3 has to offer, many see it as an interesting vehicle. 

Notably, the VinFast VF 3 packs a single electric motor with an 18.64-kilowatt-hour battery to make 40 horsepower (hp) and 110 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque to the rear wheels.

Range is at 215 kilometers (km).

Toyota Raize 

Proving why Toyota is king of the hill, the next most-viewed car on the list is none other than the Raize.

For people who still prefer internal combustion propulsion, all while benefiting from reliable Japanese engineering, choosing the brand’s compact crossover is a no-brainer.

Power comes from a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated gasoline mill mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) or a 1.0-liter turbocharged mill running on the same tranny. The latter makes as much as 96 hp and 140 Nm.

Toyota Hilux 

Still from Toyota’s stable. The third most-viewed vehicle on our website is the Hilux.

For those not in the loop, the pickup truck is now on its ninth iteration with a fresh look and can be had with an all-electric setup.

Still present is a diesel-fed option in the form of the 2.8-liter 1GD-FTV engine that makes 201.2 horses and 420-500 Nm of pulling power. On the other hand, the dual-motor electric-equipped version generates 196 hp with 200 Nm at the front wheel axle and 269 Nm at the rear.

For those who like to blend work and play, this is the obvious choice.

Toyota Avanza 

It seems that many of our website visitors are family-oriented, since the fourth model on the list is the Toyota Avanza.

Built with the ability to haul people and cargo while enjoying the benefits of fuel efficiency, the multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) uses a naturally aspirated 1.5-liter gasoline engine mated to a CVT. This makes 104 hp and 138 Nm, not record-breaking numbers, but just enough to get from point A to point B.

Toyota Innova 

Landing the fifth spot is its bigger brother, the Toyota Innova.

With a larger engine and a rather beefier body, the nameplate has seen both family and commercial transport duties. It packs a 2.8-liter inline-four turbodiesel engine with a six-speed automatic that makes a maximum power output of 171 hp and 360 Nm. Those who bought the five-speed manual gearbox-fitted models can expect 167 hp and 360 Nm.

Toyota Wigo 

The original easy-to-own, easy-to-drive car is the sixth model on our list.

On that note, despite the abundance of Chinese-made compact hatchbacks, it appears that Filipinos still search for (and in this case view) the Toyota Wigo. 

It is propelled by a 998-cubic-centimeter engine mated to a CVT to make 66 horses and 89 Nm of torque.

Not much can be said about the vehicle, but it is a practical option for people who want their own ride without breaking the bank.

Toyota Vios 

The perennial sedan for the masses, the Toyota Vios lands in seventh place.

Like the Toyota Wigo, it is a popular choice among those who want a decent car with a decent price tag.

Serving as the benchmark for sedans that simply won’t die, it is equipped with a dependable 1.3-liter gasoline engine with either a five-speed manual slushbox or a CVT. Both setups produce about 97 horsepower and 123 Nm.

If you are in the market for a sedan, you can never go wrong with a Toyota Vios.

Toyota Fortuner 

It appears that despite the several months that diesel prices soared, many Filipinos still viewed midsize sport utility vehicles (SUV), making the Toyota Fortuner the next nameplate on the website’s most-viewed list.

Buyers can choose from either a 2.4-liter diesel engine-equipped mill (available with a five-speed manual tranny) or a 2.8-liter diesel powerplant, both with an automatic transmission. Of course, 4x2 and 4x4 options are available.

Toyota Hiace 

The Toyota Hiace is also one of the top models on our list, demonstrating that people are still looking at people movers either for business or for family use.

Its power comes from the 1KD-FTV 3.0-liter diesel engine that makes 134 horses and 300 Nm. The Toyota Hiace shines for its versatility, with popular body styles ranging from Commuter (passenger), Cargo, and Ambulance.

Kia Sonet 

Breaking the Toyota chain is the Sonet from Kia. 

Seen as a strong rival for the Toyota Raize, the Kia Sonet is fitted with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with either an intelligent variable transmission or a six-speed manual gearbox. This arrangement produces 113 hp and 144 Nm, making it a decent choice for a daily car that can also handle weekend adventures.

It combines good looks with decent interior appointments, which is why we believe it is one of the most-viewed models locally.

Toyota Veloz 

At the 11th spot is the Toyota Veloz, the more sophisticated brother of the Avanza.

We assume that those who view this model have the same needs as those checking out the Toyota Avanza, but are seeking a more opulent option.

As such, it packs the same 1.5-liter gasoline engine with a CVT delivering 104 hp and 138 Nm.

Toyota Rush 

Wrapping up the Toyota chain in this list is the Rush, which lands on the 12th spot.

Already due for an update, the compact seven-seater uses a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with a four-speed automatic transmission. Nicknamed the baby Fortuner, it offers SUV looks in a small package, which is probably why it is such a hit among many buyers.

Mitsubishi Xpander 

Last year’s best-selling vehicle, the Mitsubishi Xpander is no stranger to top lists like this. 

The three-star diamond brand seems to have the MPV recipe down pat, combining masculine looks with a tamed 1.5-liter gasoline engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Overall output is 103 hp and 141 Nm.

Mitsubishi Montero Sport 

Another one for Mitsubishi; plenty of Zigwheels Philippines visitors still view the Montero Sport, proving that the rugged rally-style appeal of the SUV is still popular among car buyers.

For the money, buyers get a 2.4-liter turbo diesel engine and a state-of-the-art four-wheel drive system (2WD also available) that make 1788 horses and 430 Nm of pulling power.

Suzuki S-Presso 

Last on our list is the Suzuki S-Presso. 

We understand why it has become a sought-after model from the Japanese carmaker since, like the Toyota Wigo, it is relatively affordable and quite simple to drive.

It relies on the K10C 1.0-liter gasoline engine mated to either a five-speed manual or the Suzuki AGS. It dishes out 65 horses with 89 Newton-meters of torque.
