Which one you recommend?
CRV 1.6S Diesel.
And that's coming from someone with a 2.0S gas. [emoji6]
The CRV diesel is much more efficient than the gas, plus of course diesel costs less per liter. You'll recoup the 200k difference in 3-4 years if you drive 1,000 km a month.
The diesel also has more torque, making it feel much less strained when fully loaded or when going uphill. It doesn't have the top-end power of the gas, but noone buys a CRV for outright speed anyway.
The extra 2 seats can be useful for adhoc trips too - there have been cases where I needed to bring 7 people over a short distance. Very cramped for long distance trips though.

For someone like me who uses max of 7k per year and rarely seat more than 3 people, I would choose gas, I heard it has better accessories too.
Same features lang 1.6S diesel and 2.0S gas, but the 1.6S gets 8 speakers vs 4, and comes with factory LED foglamps. Upside of the 2.0 is that it has silver accents which is much better than the faux wood accents on the 1.6S.
It's vs the 1.6V diesel that the 2.0S has more features since the 1.6V doesn't have a touchscreen head unit, 18" rims, push button ignition, and factory LED headlamps.

*papi smith,
Natackle na ni carguide regarding sa PMS ng diesel and gas crv. You can read it up there.
Thank you Zechs, I got it...
Assuming you get to drive 20,000 kilometers annually, looking at a 5-year period, the diesel CR-V offers both a lower Cost of Ownership (Purchase Price + PMS + Fuel) at P 23.23 per kilometer versus P 24.13 per kilometer for the gasoline; and Running Cost (PMS + Fuel) at P 4.88 per kilometer versus P 7.65 per kilometer.
But what if you drive less than or more than 20,000 kilometers annually? Well, the diesel CR-V would have the running cost advantage regardless of mileage versus the gasoline CR-V. However, factoring in the purchase price difference, if you travel less than 14,109.88 kilometers annually (that’s about 1,175.82 kilometers per month or 39.19 kilometers per day), then the CR-V 2.0 S gasoline actually becomes the more cost-effective option. Interesting right? Reversing the situation, if you run 30,000 kilometers annually, the cost of ownership difference increases from P 0.90 per kilometer to P 1.63 per kilometer.
I'm a practical person. I got the gas because I need the space rather than the 7-seater option. We are a family of 4. Inasmuch as I would like to have a diesel engine (or the 1.5 turbo if it was available here), i have no choice but to get the gas model.
You lose about 3" of trunk height because of the jumpseats of the 7-seater diesel. However, the CRV is still a humongous compact crossover so there is still a lot of cargo space with the diesel variant.
I've been transferring furniture and appliances recently with the CRV and it has proven to be a very spacious hauler. [emoji106]
