Buyers here prefer diesel and high ground clearance vehicles that can seat a dozen people.
Mas lalo hirap benta nito coz of the price of fuel, 42 for gas vs 26 for diesel is a very big margin. Almost P20 na and the ideal is P8 lang dapat ang difference between the gas and diesel
The deregulated fuel industry can dictate pricing based on demand, and since the hot seller and mainstream cars are still running gas (vios, city, wigo, ecopsort. mirage) they can raise it to 45 and nobody can do about it.
The HRV with its pricing like the MUx and the Montero, kawawa lang bibili neto sa every worsening traffic sa metro. At lesst with the mux and montero, pag traffic parang wala lang bawas sa fuel.
Anyways, may safety net naman ang Honda, they released the 1.8L first to test the market, if all else fail, then they can just stop importing the 1.8s ang bring in the 1.5s. Just wait for that I guess
The huge (and increasing) gap between diesel and gas has nothing to do with our local oil players. MOPs prices for diesel are really going down quicker than MOPs for gasoline. This applies not only to us, but to the rest of Southeast Asia, most of which are regulated markets.
If anything, because of the deregulation, the major companies can no longer increase prices at will, because doing so will invite more generics to start price wars.
I don't have the figures on the actual consumption ratio of the Philippines with respect to gas : diesel, but I believe your statement is missing the fact that our country is primarily driven by diesel fed jeepneys, trucks, and buses.
* Top sellers for 2015 includes diesel fed Montero Sport, Fortuner, Hiace, MU-X, and Hilux.
congratulations! did a test drive of the HRV this morning..nice ride, and i think it looks like a Mazda (CX5)..and the way I see if, looks like HRV's interior is much better..
To the new owners, hows the steering feel and stability around 140kph+++? Does it still feel planted in that speed or do you feel disconnected(feeling of lutang) from the road?
Mr big ok naman yun steering and feeling at around 130kph, dna ako lumagpas sa speed na yun eh.pero mukhang kayang kaya pa po..
Thanks for the inputs auto experts!
I'm in the market for either the XV or the HRV. I'm settled on the HRV because primarily of the space and the smaller engine for fuel savings.
Now that you mentioned fuel savings, would HRV's FC be noticeable compared to my 2003 1.6 Civic VTI? Sobrang tipid na kasi ng VTI ko kasi naluto na yung fuel gadgetry hehe. My VTI is still at 70k mileage.
Thanks for the inputs in advance (y)

In terms of external dimension, the HR-V is closest to Mitsubishi ASX pala..
Dimension, L x W x H
Mitsubishi ASX = 4295 x 1770 x 1625 mm
Honda HR-V = 4294 x 1772 x 1605 mm
Mazda CX-3 = 4275 x 1765 x 1550 mm
Ford Ecosport = 4011* x 1765 x 1708 mm / *4245 mm with spare tire at the back

Yeah. But its price lower than hrv.
The hrv is kinda cute in a way.
Honda Phils has an entire year to market test the HRV 1.8. Up to this point, sales has been dismal. Their backup plan is to relaunch the HRV with the 1.5 para makalaban nasa every growing sales of Ecopsport and cutthroat XV and ASX.
Ask those who jumped the bandwagon with current CRV 2.4's with 1.5M+ price tag. Di nila alam mag-release and CRV 2.0 at only 1.3M
