Crosswind:

Pros:
- Roomy interior
- Durable yet fuel efficient engine
- Low cost of maintenance

Cons:
- Noisy yet shaky engine
- No safety features
- Slow with automatic

Innova:

Pros:
- Roomy interior
- Safety conscious
- Low cost of maintenance

Cons:
- Gas engine lacks oomph
- Waiting list (ask your dealer)


For me: I'll take the Innova any other day, I recommend the diesel

that's 1-0 for innova but when I saw the looks of the XUV xwind, I got attached with the LCD monitors and the leather seats

[dcph172]

LCD monitros and leatherseats are easy after market upgrades. buy an innova then upgrade it with LCD's and leather seats. i dont know if the G variant has leather already? maybe the V. innova is way ahead in terms of technology and refinement. mas civilized kung baga. its easy to upgrade an innova to compete with what crosswind has like LCD's and leather. pero you cant upgrade a crosswind to be more civilized and modern like an innova.

ps: am not saying the crosswind is a bad car. i just think innova is a better car. what ever you like with the crosswind, take it and put it in the innova, then youll have the perfect car.

disclosure: not an owner of either car, but i have a friend who used to have a sportivo then switched to innova J. take note, from top of the line sportivo, to base model innova J. no regrets daw. best decision of his life. super relaxing daw and hinde nakakapagod i-drive.

As an rider of an Innova (our family has one) it's one of the best family cars out there. My tip, get an Innova and use the remaining money for upgrades. Rode several times in a Crosswind, never again.

Go for Crosswind this is the best AUV ... sobrang tipid at matibay pa subok na unlike Innova D4D problem sakit lang nang ulo ang ibibigay sa iyo...

Get Crosswind and go anywhere you want, on or off the road no problem. Less worry, less maintenance. :smiley:

Get the Crosswind Mannual Tranny, very efficient, durable, reliable and easy to maintain car. You'll get the bang of your buck. Mine is a 10 year old XT and still runs 16km per liter on the highway * 60-80 kms/hr.

For practical reasons, if you plan to keep the vehicle for more than 10 years, get the Crosswind.

yup yup!!! +1......tumpak na tumpak!

[Thumbdrive]

Crosswind, ftw!

[Ry_Tower]

Crosswind na lang. Para you can go to more places without worrying so much. Mura din maintenance due to abundant parts.

[renzo_d10]

If you plan to keep the car for 10 years or so, get the Crosswind. Maintenance is less complicated - a plus for newbies like you.

For looks, safety, features & speed, hands down Innova.

Best post.

Crosswind's best point is durability and fuel economy (and may I say looks). The negative feedback about crosswind is that it is slow in acceleration, and has low top speed (about 120 km lang). And sobrang ingay nito.

Innova is comfort driving and speed (relative to a crosswind).

If you intend to keep the vehicle for life, go for Crosswind. However if you intend to change cars after max 5 years or so, go for Innova. I read somewhere that Innova owners experience some major engine breakdown when the car reaches 80K mileage or so?

Haven't read the thread and I also drive different Crosswinds from time to time. But for family transport, I'd go for the Innova. It's more updated in terms of safety having a more modern crash structure and the availability of safety equipments such as 3 point rear seatbelts, ABS, and airbags. The Innova is also a great deal more pleasurable to drive than a Crosswind.

Parts and service for the 2.5 D4d engine have trickled down to the third party level already so you have a choice as a consumer.

[red16]

Go for the NEW XTi crosswind variant.
