Subaru XV (2nd gen) vs 2017 Ford Everest

[Verbl Kint]

As a daily driver and the odd off-road trip (once every few months), which one would you choose and why?

everest... diesel and the ground clearance, resale value

Tough call: Ford Everest

Both the Ford Everest and the Chevrolet Trailblazer have an 800-mm wading depth -- the best in the segment, I believe.

I'm not sure what you mean by "odd off-road trip." If it's really not that off-road, I would get the Ambiente, which is a 4x2. I have this odd fascination for base models

And oh, I would have the stock tires replaced with bigger ones.

If you require 7 seats, then go for the Everest.

If you just need a comfortable vehicle for 5 with ample luggage space and capable off road, you will be better off with a Forester instead.

Thanks for the various inputs.

The need is just for four seats and capable on fire roads (dirt roads) every couple of months or so. No hardcore off-road stuff.

Otherwise, it's city driving for the most part. Not concerned too much on wading depth or ground clearance.

As for the Forester, a little Singaporean bird told me it won't arrive until after Jan. 1, 2018. Too late for me.

^^^The current generation Forester is more than enough for your needs. Despite the platform's age, it is still one of the best crossovers in the market. It offers a good balance of handling, performance, space, and utility. Why wait for 2018 when you can buy one now? The new Forester platform might be due for release locally around 2019.

I agree. I also drive the latest Forester model. The only thing I don't like is the black interior as it's very difficult to clean.

Fuel consumption may be a concern, too. Check the FC stats of other Forester owners out.

I'd only get an XV if its a daily driver, I am single, and wouldn't have the need to load stuff.

Not a fan of in-house financing, but Ford has this zero DP for the base model Everest... cool
