    Guys,

    Need your opinion kung alin sa inyo ang mas maganda, bagong Innova or bagong CRV? This is for family use.

    Thanks in advance.

    The question is, ilan kayo sa family?

    Innova might be more spacious but be sure to stick to the petrol version. Dami nang nasiraan ng engine nyan (from smoke belching to stalling and choking).

    CRV has a better image though being Honda.

    4 adults and 1 child, and a stroller...

    "petrol version" you mean gas (sorry i'm still not a tech person on cars..)

    "CRV has a better image though being Honda." does it mean may negative image ang honda?

    Medyo magkaibang class of vehicles MPV vs SUV. IMHO, over all, lamang ang SUV sa comparison.

    your family can fit in an innova with plenty of space to spare. medyo masikip na kayo sa crv, if ever.

    just get the gasoline variant.

    If we are talking about the 3rd gen CR-V baka nga mas matipid pa yun sa gas Innova. The diesel Innova on the other hand is quite risky since sometimes they work and if you're hated by lady luck you could get a big headache. The 2nd gen CR-V was a guzzler.

    Innnova V and CRV 4WD is bit difficult to compare bec. of their price disparity and difference in engine displacement.

    I wouldn't count on the CRV 2.4li being more fuel efficient than anything, as it is still based on the gas guzzling K-series engine from the previous gen CRV (of course with minor tweaks).

    Just a note. The second row captain chairs of the Innova are really nice and comfortable but since they don't tumble forward, the Innova's cargo space cannot be maximized. Better get the G variant and its bench seats for this.

    The CRV is obviously more prestigious. I don't know about the size of your family, but its passenger ferrying capability is similar to a compact sedan (ie. Civic, Altis).

    When it comes to flood fording in the usually flooded streets of Manila, the Innova is better suited. Its air intake is hidden (reverse facing) behind the right front fender. The CRV's air intake is disturbingly facing down near the bottom of the engine.

    crv.. malaki na man ang baggage area nang crv para sa stroller and other luggage.. mas class yung crv tapos 4x4 pa.. at mas powerful dahil yung 2.4 ang kunin mo.. maganda rin ang interior at features ng crv..

    advantage lng sa innova ay may 3rd row in case may extra na sasakay, hindi talaga ma iwasan sometimes.. hindi ako sure sa fuel consumption, pero 2.0 lng ang innova, so i think mas matipid..

    definitely CRV, better drive and classier by a mile..unless you get the Diesel Variant of the Innova.

    But hands down CRV

    This boils down to your other priorities. If just ferrying your family, both vehicles are capable.
    Space, fuel economy,and low maintenance cost goes to Innova.
    Road creed, prestige, and safety goes to the CRV.

    But if I may suggest--combining the bigger space of the MPV and the driving mechanics of an SUV--would the Ford Everest merit some consideration?

    The gasoline Innova will be more fuel efficient than the 2.4 CR-V, and will have seating for seven. But that's the end of its advantages.

    The CR-V is more sophisticated. It's a bit stiff, but not as bad as the previous CR-V, and the ride is better sorted than the trucklike Innova. Handling is better, acceleration is better and interior materials are better. Sound insulation is also much better, and the transmission is also less "truckish". The seats are a bit stiff, but this is not a problem in the 2.4 variant.

    It's spacious enough for five, even if you need a child seat for your kid. The stroller fits right in the back.

    Fuel economy hovers between 6-8 km/l in mixed use and 10-12 on the highway. It's more fuel efficient than the old CR-V, thanks to the new engine-programming and the 5-speed transmission. The old 2.0 could get worse economy on its best days.

    Granted, it's not as good as a diesel... but what do you expect from a gasoline 4x4 with this much power?

    The only peeves I have with the 4x4 is the twitchy throttle and brakes (they're a bit too sensitive), but it's a gas to drive, and the ergonomics are good for long-distance driving.

    I like the Innova, it's much, much better than older AUVs like the Crosswind and Adventure... but it simply can't compare in comfort to a modern unibody vehicle like the CR-V.

    And if you're considering a vehicle in the CR-V 4x4's price class, you can find one with better third-row seats than the Innova, like the Santa Fe, which is just a little poor compared to the CR-V when talking about interior quality and solidity, but which is much more sophisticated than the Innova or Fortuner, and it rides softer than the CR-V. Too bad there are no more Starex GRXs... those were nearly perfect, except for the overly soft ride. The Carnival is interesting... great space (up to 4 people can sit side-by-side in the second row... the car is so wide), but it's also very truckish in ride and drive.

    If you're thinking about staying on a budget, get the Innova. But if you have the money, a CR-V 4x4 is a great vehicle. But again, if you have that much money, you might want to shop around and look at other vehicles. Maybe even check out the Everest or Montero.

    I may not like the CRV's styling, but in this case I'd have to go with the CRV. No matter how sophisticated the Innova maybe, its still an AUV at the end of the day.

    AUV vs. SUV?

    Of course the SUV wins any day.

    I'd go for Innova.

    1. More space for passengers
    2. Cheaper maintenance & parts.

New Innova or New Honda CRV
