The diesel 1.6 xtrail is euro5 compliant. Our diesel fuels are still euro2. Hence nissan will not introduce a diesel anytime soon. However nissan is still testing a 2.0 diesel powerplant for southeast asian market.

When Euro 4 is mandated for all local stations in 2016 Mazda will hopefully bring in their Skyactiv-Ds.

I will go with the X-trail it can seat seven people
and naaadjust yung 2nd row para to give ample space at
the back 2.0 4x2 cost 1.3M pinagpipilaan ko naman X-trail or Mu-x

kung mas madalas gamitin ang 3rd rows better to go with MU-X instead

The 3rd row seats are only for life and death situations. We all know Xtrail is only meant for seating 5 people. Think of the 3rd row as a clean compartment for putting clothes, pillows, bags, and in some youtube reviews, in-laws.

Dirty items can be placed on the cargo floor. The true 7 seater is the Pathfinder but I'm not expecting a comfortable seating in its 3rd row either.

People who have test drove the new Xtrail said that the CVT is responsive already and the rubbery feel is gone.

I read up a bit more on the differences between the 2013 Rogue and the newest model on Edmunds. The site confirmed that the 2013 Rogue actually has the sportier performance with more nimble handling and (probably) better acceleration than the current Rogue. It backed up what my wife already observed during her test drives.

She also liked the "baby Murano" styling of the older Rogue.

edit: nakita ko na pala, nagskip pala tayo ng isang generation, yung pre-facelift

I'll only comment on the looks. Comparing front ends the Xtrail looks better. With the rear end the CX-5.

If you don't mind a firmer ride I'd also consider the base Forester. Para lalo kang malito, hehe.

Compared to mazda mas ok ba after sales ng nissan? Although the yojin package is really tempting..

For me the third row seats of nissan is just a bonus..kung masikip e di wag mo gamitin, pero andiyan lang kung kinakailangan. e yung kalaban nga niya wala e.. nilait mo pa yung 3rd row ng meron..
