CX5 vs Fortuner

[theblob]

First time car buyer but we have a family-owned Montero Sport and an old Altis now.

Nalalakihan ako sa Montero Sport kaya I wanted to buy the CX5 instead.

Both of them are roughly P1.5M and so far here are the pro's and con's that I see.

Fortuner:
+ Resale Value
+ Price of Parts
+ Better for Flood
+ Bigger
- Bigger
? Diesel variant more mileage than CX5?

CX5:
+ Good Mileage (Better than Diesel Fortuner?)
+ Made in Japan
+ Yojin 3
- Resale Value not good compared to Toyota
- Not as high as Fortuner
- More cramped inside?
? Same Legroom lang ba sa second row ng Fortuner?

Anyone have the interior dimensions of the Fortuner?

If I'm ready to give up on interior space, are there other reasons to choose the CX5 over the Fortuner?

[i.am.aids]

CX5:
only 5 seater (ok if you don't require more)
way more comfortable

Fortuner:
7 seater
about the same ride quality as montero

I doubt if there will be significant difference in mileage. You can dispose the Altis and get CX5 so that you have a 7 and 5 seater.

You can opt for the base Forester (2.0i-L model). It offers a bigger interior than the CX5 and a bigger trunk. It also has good ground clearance. It comes standard with AWD, if that is of use to you. The price is lower than the CX5 Pro.

The drive and steering may not be as good as the CX5 but it's a good all-around CUV. The interiors, though, are not as premium as a CX5.

Choosing between the CX5 and Fortuner, I'd go with the CX5. Better driving dynamics, better ride.

I'd go for the Fortuner.... because it is diesel and a Toyota.

Even if both consume fuel at a rate of 8Km/L, at the current fuel prices, you save roughly P150 per 100Km. That's P7,500 per 5KKm,- the approximate equalizer in the PMS.

And at 7-seater,- it gives you more options.

Seems like gusto mo ng crossover kasi ayaw mo na ng malaki. Minimal lang naman ang adjustment ng driving ng fortuner at cx5 in terms of size. So baka di ka rin matuwa na mas maliit dala mo. What about ecosport or the upcoming brv?

I don't get it. you don't want the Montero because of it's size bakit nasa listahan mo ang Fortuner
Fortuner has built-in belly burner, If you know what I mean

stick ka nalang sa altis or all new Innova.

[confused shoes]

CX-5 para maiba. Lahat ng kanto may makikita kang Fortuner.

Fortuner more of a workhorse. Kawawa crossovers when daily driven over edsa potholes IMO.

Bro- last time I drove through EDSA was a couple of weeks ago,- during the last Monday-holiday.... (from Magallanes to Megamall....)

I remember not experiencing so many potholes...

Did I miss this? Or was I not paying so much attention?

Should have used uneven roads instead of potholes. I dont drive there on a daily basis too, but that is the impression it leaves on me

Unless you bring them to some parts unknown with unpaved roads and rocky terrain, I think most CUVs can deal with the kind of roads in Metro Manila. They are built to be more durable compared to subcompacts or compacts. If you need a CUV with some offroad capability, the Subaru Forester is the most rugged in its class.

If the TS wants something less bulkier than a Fort or MS but with 7 seats, he can opt for an Xtrail AWD (1.5M+) or add a bit more for a Santa Fe CRDi 4x2 (1.7M). If opting for a diesel CUV, the only options are the Korean twins - Tucson and Sportage.

Crossovers have medium duty shocks. They should be able to tackle any road imperfections.

I said about, with both (Montero and Fortuner) being compared to ride quality of CX5. If ride comfort matters, that would be CX5. That, basically, is my point.

[theblob]

We are going to sell both cars. Will buy a Vios or Wigo to replace the Altis then the CX5 or Fortuner to replace the Montero.

Nasanay na kasi sa full-size SUV yung mga kapamilya ko, never kami nag mid-sized kaya I was looking for the biggest mid-sized SUV in the market as a compromise. I drive the Altis kaya I wanted a bigger car for occasional floods.

My heart says CX5 but the mind (and other people) say Fortuner for sheer practicality.

Another option would be the Hyundai Tucson which is almost 1/3 cheaper but then it's a Hyundai. I think masyado maraming downside ang Hyundai? I don't like the design of the Forester, masyadong boring. No to Ecosport since it's too small. X-Trail naman halos kasing laki na ng Fortuner, no point in going for it?

My other concern is car durability. Toyota's are built for our lubak-lubak roads but I'm not sure if Mazda and Hyundai can handle it. Yung company car na Starex namin ang daming sakit in just a few years. We have friends who is a Hyundai and a Toyota dealer so after-sales for both brands shouldn't be as big as an issue as the norm. I read Mazda service is decent?

Which one is better?

Ano meaning ng Belly Burner? Maalog sa likod?

Ano mas masarap sakyan for semi long drives like Tagaytay or Batangas?

Bihira lang kasi ako sumakay ng compact SUV. I either ride compacts, SUVs, vans or high-end van like Alphard since this is what the company uses also.

[Egan101]

Since you have raised the Toyota reliability factor, why not opt for Toyota's RAV4?

Same reason as Forester, I don't like the design, particularly the front. I hate it.

And they made it even lower compared to the older models. If I'm not mistaken it's a lot lower than the CX5.

CUVs ride more like compact cars but higher off the ground. Not as comfortable as midsize cars (Accord, Mazda6, Camry) but the extra girth gives them better interior space over the usual compacts (Altis, Civic, etc.).
