Base Model Gas CUVs (Your insights)

[Sleepcare]

Since 2019 is the year of the CUVs (all-new Forester, MG and Rav4), why don't we all pit them against each other.

This thread may be helpful especially to first time CUV buyers with a strict budget.

All New Forester


All New Rav4 LE


Honda Crv 2.0S


Mazda CX5 FWD Pro


Nissan Xtrail 2.0


You may include other CUVs from the other brands that are not mentioned (Hyundai,MG & etc)

Let me start the thread..

For me, the bang for the buck is still the Crv. Hindi sa biased opinion since i drive one, but i still feel that it has the complete package against the others.

Actually kagat naman sa lahat (interior, exterior, equipment, handling, safety) except lang for the engine power especially when loaded

for 1.475M you have a 2019 diesel cross over. why gas though?

I think not all people prefer diesel-fed crossover/s over gas. Also, entry-level diesel crossovers are stripped-down compared to its price-matched gas variant. (Example-CRV 1.6V vs 2.0S)

parang walang interested sa segment na yan

kasi ang labanan ng cuv gas engines eh dapat nasa 1.1M tops lang

so that's

- Ford Ecosport
- Honda BRV
- Hyundai Kona
- Suzuki Vitara
- Mitsu Xpander
- Toyota Rush


the CX3, HRV, XV could be included pero 1.3M++ na eh, sa 1.4M++ pede ka na sa Isuzu 1.9 MUX or even the Montero Standard and the bare Tucson CRDi


pede siguro add sa list sa taas ang upcoming Jimny coz it's rumored to be priced at 1.1M territory


even if it's like P5 na lang difference sa gas stations ng price ng diesel vs gas, diesel is very fuel efficient in bumper to bumper traffic

last January 13, nag full tank ako sa Tarlac ng Isuzu MUx ko, ngaun Feb 6 na, may 3 bars pa ako sa fuel gauge. that's considering I traveled like more than a 100KM pauwi pa from Tarlac on that day. pure city driving na afterwards average of 16Km / day. work office

Been a sedan user ever since.

Next time magpalit ako, CUV lang, most likely gas, I hate diesel.

It's so mabaho and maingay.

Toss coin na lang sa HR-V, CR-V, CX-3, CX-5, XV, Forester.

And that silver RAV4 above, it looks so bland and bare. Even for a based model, hindi dapat ganyan ka pangit (Hello CR-V 2.0).
And how can you call it a RAV4 without AWD or 4WD? so dumb.

[minicarph]

malamang hinde lang 4 ang tatanggalin kasi pati A dapat. kasi A stands for All-Wheel

so Toyota RV na lang


pero ang buset yun CX5, kasi parang ano yun 5WD vehicle, taas ng pangarap di pa nimbento yun ah

I would consider Hyundai/Kia if nasa EU or US ako. I'm actually a fan since nag start yung fluidic design nila.

Not here locally..

meron naman android auto 6speakers and reversing sensor. 8sp torque converter. I think thats good enough. 1.545m i think is still reasonable. youre left with some cash for Headlight upgrades and a reversing camera and tpms.

the crv 2.0 S is good also with all the bells and whistle. it just drinks too much milk.

Actually bargain yung 1.545m for the specs but (some) are not quite sold sa brand mismo. It's actually good na nalipat na yung distributorship nila. It's actually a wait and see game for now.

Going to the CRV, sadly that's the hard part. You'll need to use the whole rev range especially when loaded

[Egan101]

If light offroad capability is a requirement, the Forester is the only one that comes standard with AWD plus it has the highest ground clearance among CUVs (same as PPVs). It’s a bargain at 1.598M.

My vote goes to the Subaru XV or Forester & the CX5 for their drivability. CRV for the space & versatility. Honda HRV if you are still single.

RAV4 kasi apat gulong. Seriously, AWDs are thirstier than 2wd. They are safer, especially in the rain or snow. My sister, who is based in Washington, makes it a point to use an AWD in winters. But even with AWDs the car can still spin out of control when driven on black ice. AWDs are more applicable in temperate countries.

I personally think hinde kailangan dito AWD

kung ang pakiramdam nyp bibile lang kayo ng vehicle dahil sa looks at rarerity at half half kayo sa gastusin sa future. Re inflation, anak ng mga kumoare na lagi may naimbento party

Mag diesel na lang kayo, at leadt papunta sa party di nuo ma-feel ang pressure ng gas guzzling cuv lalo na kung sa Tagaytay pa o kahit sa Max resto sa SM north ang venue, ubudan ng gasolina tong mga lugar nato

Its up to us Filipino consumers to kill this product segment, so that mazda, nissan, honda would be forced to bring their diesel cx3, hrv and xtrails here, para naman hinde tayo offeran ng mga korean ng mga bawas bawas na diesel cuv

Kitams na naman oh sa car sales data 2018

Parang tig 100 na lang nabebenta gasoling cuvs ng mga car makers. We consumers are winning the boycott!


Ako sabi ko senyo sa Vienna Austria, one of the local bed and breakfast staff where I stayed in , was parking a diesel cx3 every morning sa hotel

I so cant forget that car, that sound of an engine. And that hotel staff who is just barely in her 20s , parang budget car lang sa kanya shes not proud

Pero how I wish I have a diesel cx3 here in the philippines

If it comes standard, then it’s a welcome thing. Lalo na kung same lang or mas mura over another product.

Among the FWD CUVs, I guess the CRV is the most practical choice. The CX5 is nice to drive but the CRV has better interior and luggage space.

I recently purchased a 2019 mazda cx5 2.2L diesel from mazda sta rosa last dec 27ish. I had a 2018 crv diesel awd 1.5L 7 seater, but i sold it after 6 months. That large of a space wasnt necessary for me and i wanted something a bit fun to drive. Here's my take on these vehicles:

Interior quality wise: cx5. Alot of people commend mazda for having a beautiful interior that even rivals most german vehicles in its segment.

Exterior: cx5 looks the best in its segment. It looks even better than the bmw x1.

Interior space: crv (undisputed king in its segment)

Engine: hands down the cx5 2.2
l diesel awd. 420nm at 174hp, it's one of the most powerful engines in its segment second to the foresters turbocharged engine which will be removed in 2019.You also don't get that smell from the exhaust usually present in diesel engines.

Gas consumption: crv. Cx 5's gas consumption was almost identical to its petrol counterpart. Mazda chose to sacrifice gas mileage for performance.

Ride quality: practically the same. The mazda is quieter than the crv, and revs more smoothly, but the crv absorbs bumps slightly better.

Practicality: crv. Because of its space and gas consumption.

Reliability: cx5. Honda needs to fix the oil dillution problems in its engine before it earns its rightful spot here. Mazda's transmission is produced by the same makers as toyota's so thats a small plus. If you do your research mazda's reliability ratings improve year by year as well. If honda manages to address their engine issues, then they would be equal but only time can tell.
