Top 8 Used Cars in the Philippines for 2025

For many car buyers in the Philippines, purchasing a slightly used vehicle is the smartest route. These cars often retain much of the quality and reliability of brand new models but come at significantly depreciated prices. Let’s look at 8 cars sold in 2024 that make excellent used choices now in 2025. 

BYD Sealion 6 DM-i

The BYD Sealion 6 DM-i is a plug-in hybrid SUV that's been getting attention for its blend of advanced technology, fuel efficiency, and comfort. With a 1.5-liter gasoline engine paired with an electric motor, it delivers a combined output of 238 horsepower. It boasts an impressive pure electric range of up to 115 kilometers and an impressive total range of around 1,100 kilometers. Inside, the Sealion 6 DM-i features a 12.3-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a unique 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen, a 360-degree camera, sunroof, and a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). It also includes Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, adding even more versatility to its package.

Hyundai Stargazer

The Hyundai Stargazer is a compact MPV tailored for Filipino families. While small on the outside, its spacious interior and thoughtful design make it ideal for daily commutes and road trips. Powered by a 1.5-liter gasoline engine, the Stargazer is very efficient, while still offering 7 seats. It has useful features like an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (depending on the variant), abundant cup holders for everyone on board, and second-row captain’s seats in higher trims.

BYD Seal 5 DM-i

Another plug-in hybrid option is the BYD Seal 5 DM-i, a subcompact sedan that is sized and performs just like a compact sedan. Available in two variants, Dynamic and Premium, it delivers between 179 to 197 horsepower, with electric-only ranges of 50 km and 115 km respectively. The total range can reach up to 1,240 kilometers. Inside, it features a 12.8-inch rotating touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and even has a V2L capability in the Premium variant, making it ideal for those getting into the EV world.

Toyota Hilux

For buyers eyeing utility and long-term reliability, the Toyota Hilux remains a solid choice. With expected price increases due to the removal of excise tax exemptions on pickups, the Hilux becomes a very smart second-hand buy. It’s available with either a 2.4L or 2.8L turbo diesel engine and comes in both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations. Despite being known for its ruggedness and dependability, the Hilux still includes a usable infotainment system of up to 8 inches big with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, as well as ADAS features on top-spec variants like the Hilux GR-S.

Ford Ranger

Another great pickup option is the Ford Ranger. Thanks to sharp depreciation, used models offer amazing value. Under the hood, it offers either a 2.0L turbo diesel or a 2.0L bi-turbo engine, producing up to a really powerful 210 horsepower. With its refined cabin, excellent noise insulation, and advanced tech, such as a large 10 or 12-inch portrait touchscreen running Ford SYNC 4A, a wireless charging pad, and a smooth electronic shifter, the Ranger is a comfortable and capable daily workhorse.

BYD Seagull

The BYD Seagull is a city oriented EV that’s great on the wallet and efficient. It may be compact and affordable, but it delivers a solid 300 km of range, 75 horsepower, and features like a 10.1-inch rotating touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a V2L capability. As a second-hand EV, it's an unbeatable deal for first-time electric car buyers.

Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid

For those wanting a reliable hybrid crossover, the Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid is hard to ignore. Its 1.5-liter hybrid engine produces 111 horsepower while delivering impressive fuel economy. With Toyota’s reputation for durability, the Yaris Cross also offers peace of mind, not to mention exemption from vehicle coding. Its interior comes equipped with a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system and Toyota Safety Sense, providing an added layer of safety and convenience.

Suzuki Ertiga Hybrid

Finally, we should also mention the Suzuki Ertiga Hybrid, a practical 7-seater ideal for families on a budget. Powered by a 1.5-liter engine paired to a mild-hybrid system, the Ertiga offers some fuel savings and a stop/start capability. Despite this insignificant hybrid system, it still qualifies for coding exemptions, making it appealing for Manila use. The interior includes a 10-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and enough space to accommodate large families or cargo.

Whether you’re looking for a fuel-efficient commuter, a family-friendly MPV, or a rugged pickup, the used car market in 2025 offers a wide range of choices. These eight models stand out not only for their performance and features but also for the value they bring to Filipino car buyers who want quality without the steep cost of brand-new vehicles.
