Toyota Fielder, a good car? Suggestions, hybrid vs simple

[mgalaxy3]

A friend is interested in a hybrid or non hybrid Corolla Fielder.

I think hybrid comes after 2014. While older models are no hybrids.

How is the resale of both variants, and are parts of the hybrid available in used parts markets ?

Friend mostly concerned about these two things. Reliability is not an issue as it's a well known reliable car...

Yes both body and mechanical parts even hybrid batteries are easily available of Corolla Fielder
Both Gasoline and Hybrid engines came even after 2014 and are available till 2019 model

Hybrid is great. Non hybrid 2007-2013 is also good, comes with the reliable 1rNZ-FE engine (same as Axio)

Any of you using it? How's the mileage and general drive.

I guess Prius is its competitor, probably better too?

I've used non-hybrid fielder, good reliable car.

Prius is definitely better than Fielder Hybrid

Fielder is a five seater while Prius Alpha could seat seven people.

My uncle has had the non hybrid Fielder for years, he complained about its resale, it’s about the time of 2017, he bought it for 15 lakhs. However, the A/C in Fielder is pretty chilled, even the rare seat passengers had sufficient cooling, I remember traveling in the rare seats in summer night that year, I felt as if I should’ve brought a blanket. The car feels secure and good for a small family as it seats as much people as a normal-sized sedan. However, if one is considering a station wagon based on its passengers’ seating space, then Prius Alpha is the clear winner here.

Hope it helps.

Prius Alpha seems like a good option too, 7 seater.
