Chevrolet Captiva Versus Honda CRV

[suysuy]

Guys, We will be selling our old 2nd gen CRV, actually kukunin na tom. Goodbye CRV, huhuh. Apat nalang sasakyan namin. anyway, bibili kami ng bago.

Ano kaya sa tingin ninyo maganda? Kasi ang captiva bagong bago pa lang sa market eh. Ano ano ba safety features meron ang Captiva? wala kasing local website ang Chevrolet eh. di ko sure kung anong model ang nandito sa atin.

Comparing the highest end model of CRV with highest end model ng Captiva. Which one ang mas maganda?? My personal choice eh Captiva. Ano sa tingin niyo?

Ano ano ba safety features meron ang Captiva? wala kasing local website ang Chevrolet eh. di ko sure kung anong model ang nandito sa atin.

Captiva has the usual safety features found in other CUVs in the market like dual front airbags, abs, etc...

Captiva in the Philippines are available in three variants:

1.) 2.4 li Gas FWD, = Php 1,175,000
2.) 2.0 li CRDi Diesel FWD = Php 1,275,000
3.) 2.0 li CRDi Diesel AWD = Php 1,475,000

Introductory Price. Probably means a price increase when demand picks up.

Bet. the two, I'd still think the Honda is still better overall. The Captiva's CRDi gives it a slight edge in the engine dep't. Although there are still some question marks regarding its engine source, unlike Hyundai's. The Captiva is actually a DAEWOO wearing a Chevrolet badge, btw.

i see, thanks for the reply, meron bang Vehicle Stability Assist ang Captiva dito? or ano bang tawag dyan. basta yung VSA or ESC thinggie. how about sa looks? panalo ata ang captiva eh

mas inclined ako mag captiva. para naman hindi common

[niky]

The Captiva is supposedly using the same injector system as Hyundai... so that part should be good.

If we're comparing the Captiva to the rest... the design is a real selling point. It's a definite looker.

Downside is, the inside is rather plain, and the drive is just average (a bit stiff and the steering is indifferent, at best). In terms of interior design, suspension, ride, etcetera, the CR-V (and the Santa Fe, by the way) is light-years ahead of the Captiva.

if the Captiva is using the same injector system as Hyundai, then that's giving hope na hindi ito titirik like what happened to the Fortuners & Innovas.

if Captiva succeeds in running dirty diesel, talo kagad nito lahat ng CUV in the market.
Chevrolet cars are good cars. problema lang talaga CASA, parang nahuhuli sa balita.

hmmmm, so maybe mag crv nalang kami na bago lol. talo kasi sa looks ang crv eh. syempre dapat meron rin looks diba? still... undecided hehe

try to test drive both units so you can have a feel and compare each other that way it can help you decide on which to choose......

In all its variants, the Captiva does not come with any form of traction/stability control. Different companies have a different moniker for the feature but basically its traction control. Honda calls it VSA (vehicle stability assist) and it is available on the 2.4li AWD CRV.

The Captiva looks nice upfront and its backend is ho-hum. Actually the Captiva's backend reminds of a bigger version of the Chevy Spark.

On the other hand, the CRV's looks is a love and hate thing. It could also be an acquired taste for those who are more tolerant of its design.

hi! I just got a captiva diesel. I really like the overall exterior "dating" ng captiva than the crv. Yun nga lang. value for money get the crv. (parang pang-loyola nga lang). Tires of captiva is Maxxis...di ko nga alam ano yun. Bridgestone ang crv. Mas roomy ang captiva at mas pogi! We find it Maingay dahil diesel? (comparing it with our Honda cars) I like the comfortable seat.

Dealer support mas ok ang honda ng milya milya! I didn't like how they...Makati. mand. pasig ...kept on changing their offers....like you can get it right now but you must get the ... and .... in house! They appear to be selling more than the car. Magugulo kausap. Stoneage pa ang service. Hope they improve.

I will definitely give you a daily update.

di pa dumating CRV namin. i wonder kung gaano kalayo ang gen 2 sa gen 3. 5 years sa amin yung 2nd gen na CRV. hayop lang sa gas

[niky]

The suspension and handling of the gen 3 is more refined... and the new 2.0 is much more fuel efficient.

The only complaint of owners is the delay in throttle response due to the electronic throttle, but I don't find it a problem.

[suysuy]

electronic throttle na pala to? di kaya madaling masira to? lol. eh baka hindi na babalik sa idle hahaha. paano nayan lol

[niky]

Almost all modern engines are ECT already. If it's a worry for you, best to buy a Crosswind...

I don't doubt that they'll be subject to problems down the road. The only unknown is how long down the road, and how much they'll cost to replace. If it's under 5k pesos (like most in-bay electronics are), no problem...

malayo pre...i reset the meter just before entering the edsa-NLE entrance all the way to the san fernando exit toll gate...it register a 11.5 km/l reading.... riding at a 2400 rpm with 120 km/hr average speed...with a few spurt of 140 km/hr at some point...so in my opinion tipid sya... some of the threads ive read mas tipid if your * 2000 rpm lang...kaso mabigat kasi paa ko..hehehe

[mykeviper23]

by the way for all of you who dont know...ung 4x4 na lumalabas lately is AWD...it means not all the time 4 wheels ang tumatakbo...this has been the most misconception ng tao about the AWD o real time 4 wheel drive...so ndi sya ganun kalakas talaga kumain ng gas like most people think...it just gives you an extra 2 wheel on the back pag nahihirapan na ang front...kaya sya nagiging 4 wheel...but on city driving lang...gumagana lang is 2 wheel sa harap but when your up to climbing like going to tagaytay if the engine feels need nya more power dun nya palang trigger ung other two...

I think Captiva is ok and very spacious. But if you are very concerned about short to mid term resale, then I guess still better stick to the traditional Japanese models like RAV4 and CRV.

[saipeme]

-exterior i go for captiva
-interior hands down crv
-fc they probably the same per liter except for the price: gas against diesel
-performance i go for the captiva being diesel with the higher torque
-price:1.270M for crv
1.299 for captiva

if diesel here will not cause a problem for captiva then my vote goes to captiva....

One of the reasons why I like the all new CRV is that the ride has greatly improved from the previous. Another is the 17"s that finally fits proportionally to the hefty body.

It may not appeal to the fuel conscious driver but the acceleration is such a breeze! The interior plastics don't feel cheap anymore and even the 4x2 variant feels very plush.

di ba matipid daw ang CRV ngayon?

For me it is but for others kasi the impression is like this:

CRV+Real Time 4X4+Gas= mahal.
