Being an owner of the current-gen CRV, I am pretty happy with my purchase and I don't have any regrets owning it.
I bought my CRV around the same time last year. Compared this to the RAV4 base, Forester base, XV Premium and the CX5 2.0 2WD. Feature by feature, it beats them all. Mine is the Modulo CRV. It has rear AC vents, Cruise Control, LCD/MID, Tonneau cover(not all CUVs or dealers have this for free), One-touch fold for rear seats, my dealer also threw in free parking sensors and a 3M tint, Best interior space(leg, shoulder and cargo space) plus many more.
Fuel consumption too is much better than the previous CRV generations. I can get 8.6kms/liter * 22kph average speed(moderate traffic). In comparison, my Monty GLS 2WD averages 7.9kms/liter on same average speed.
Note: We already compared the difference between the MID and manual computation. The variance falls between +/- .1 to .2 kms/liter only.
We also went to Baguio a couple of months ago. From Pasig to Baguio(via Nlex/Sctex/Tplex), my Fuel Consumption was 13kms/liter with the Econ button off. It was higher going down from Baguio where I averaged 14.5kms/liter.
So, against the X-Trail? I kinda won't consider a Nissan, specially with the numerous problems my parents had with their Y61 Patrol with local dealers here. Plus the base Xtrail is as bare as it can be.
