The HRV is based on the Jazz platform which is around 200kg lighter than the Civic 1.8L. The raised suspension together with the other stuff thus bring the weight of the HRV to just above the Civic 1.8L.

HR-V has a CVT vs. the Civic's 5AT. I think FC should be the same or baka better pa nga HR-V

That's good. Sana the Mazda CX-3 also arrives for comparison. It's said to be lighter than the M3.

Tough call. I've always liked the XV, but the HRV looks like serious competition, not only for the XV but for other crossovers.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm leaning towards the HR-V at the moment, might commit within the week..

Mazda has the best interior. Dislike the current Honda interiors. Among the choices above the HR-V EL, Subaru Forester is the only one with 6 airbags.

Which has the larger interior volume, Honda HR-V or the CX-5?

Do you have reverse camera for the CX-5 Maxx?

A competition in price maybe but not in overall value. The XV comes standard with AWD. The ASX FWD seems to be the best competition of the HRV. The Ecosport, CX3, and ix20 are the direct competition to the HRV, as these vehicles are practically subcompacts on stilts. The Sportage and Tucson may be priced about the same as the HRV but they are really more in the same category as the Forester, Xtrail, CX5, CRV, and RAV4.

If the Jazz has bigger interior volume than the Mazda3, then the HRV will be bigger inside than the CX5.

I briefly considered the CX-5 Pro, too. I think the price can be lowered to 1.3xx if you pay cash.

For its purported size, the interior seems really cramped compared to its rivals. Another sticking point for me is the battery. I read it costs around 13k and it's not readily available in our suking battery stores.

I think the cx-5 has the biggest, since cargo palang lamang na cx-5, 34.1 cubic feet to 23.2 for the hr-v

OT: haven't checked what type of head unit the cx-5 maxx uses, haha. will have to visit the showroom sometime to see
