    I'm thinking of getting an X-trail over CR-V. What are the differences between these 2 models aside from the obvious 2.0 and 2.5. I tried searching but I can't find any info. Thanks in advance.

    What I know, 4x2 2.0 nila yung old gen na Xtrail which is still being sold as brand new unit. Yung newer gen Xtrail both 2.5L & CVT, only choices if 4x2 or 4x4. Get the newer Xtrail IMO.

    Thanks! But are the changes in 2.5 worth almost 200k?

    The bigger engine and CVT tranny is worth that much. CVT is supposed to improve fuel efficiency. I am not sure what the FC figures for the new Xtrail with its 2.5L engine and CVT tranny but the older gen 2.0L Xtrail was averaging between 6-7 Km/L on city driving conditions, as per inputs from some members here.

    The 2.5L model is a generation newer model. It should be worth that.

    Thanks! Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is the 2.5L worth getting over CR-V 2.0 and Kia Sorento?

    You can do a comparison of specs using Autoindustriya's buyers guide. The 5-seater Sorento is a good deal of sorts since Kia dropped its price for it.

    Naka sale yung 5-seater Sorento CRDi (4x2 AT) at 1.35M. Kunting difference sa Sportage 2.0L CRDi na 1.32M. Yung 5-seater Sorento CRDi 4x2 MT is even cheaper at 1.25M ata.

    From my experience, the Xtrail CVT is more fuel efficient in highways than the 1st gen but for city, the first gen is better. I only ave 5.6km/L in my Xtrail CVT in pure city driving but 8km/L in highway with hataw. But for the 200k, it's worth it since the interiors are designed better with plenty of soft plastics, better quality buttons and better NVH. The only thing I miss on the first gen Xtrail is the softer suspension, softer seats and longer legroom for the driver side. You can test drive both to see which you prefer.
