2019 Subaru XV Base or 2019 Honda HRV E

[mackvil]

Been contemplating about this 2. Based on my comparison, below are the pros and cons.

Subaru XV

Pros vs HRV:

1. Symmetrical AWD
2. Newer model since HRV is just facelifted
3. Better interior materials
4. Better engine?
5. Front, Side, Knee and Curtain Airbags

Cons vs HRV:

1. No Backup Camera
2. Halogen headlamp
3. Cannot install leather seatcover because of side airbags
4. Higher maintenance cost?

Honda HRV

Pros vs XV
1. Backup Camera
2. Better Fuel Consumption since FWD only?
3. Automatic LED Headlamp
4. Bigger boot space
5. Magic ULT seats

Cons vs XV
1. FWD
2. No cupholder on the center arm rest of the rear seats.
3. Limited rear visibility

Actually, I am leaning towards XV but still considering HRV.

Your thoughts?

nice comparo.

but i would still bottomline it to, "which is more comfortable for me to drive and be in?"

[confused shoes]

Subaru XV’s advantage:
AWD, better off road performance
Higher ground clearance

Cons:
Kind of slow. Slower than the HRV
Most probably have less reliable CVT than Honda
Direct injected, meaning eventual carbon build up on intake valves



HRV’s advantage:
More versatile interior
Most likely easier to source parts

Cons:
Lower ground clearance
Less capable on off road conditions



I’d get the HRV if its not going to be used off road.

Thanks for your comments..

Test driven both and drive is similar though XV has more airy feeling due to big glasses comparing to HRV...

Will decide by End of the Month

So far after discounts, below are their net prices:

HRV E price is 1.285M
XV Base price i s 1.338M

Common problems are leaking evaporator, water in the brake light housing, and pads eating the rotors.

Personally, as long as the engine is solid, I'm fine with these niggles.

Ewan ko nga kung bat dumadami ang kotse dito e. May kalabaw at kabayo naman. Yun mga feeling racer, kabayo binibili. Yun mga gusto ng luxurious ride, kalabaw.
