Honda CR-V vs rivals
28 Nov, 2012 10:30am2 .
The all-new Honda CR-V faces a wave of brilliant SUVs, so can it hold its own? We test it against its rivals from Mazda and Hyundai




Evolution is the only way to survive in the wild, so the new Honda CR-V has been refined rather than overhauled for its fourth generation. The off-roader market has expanded significantly since the last CR-V arrived in 2007, with a host of new rivals hitting showrooms. But with five million global SUV sales, Honda has real 4x4 pedigree.

This new model is more practical than ever. Engine and gearbox tweaks bring useful efficiency gains, while new kit makes the CR-V feel the equal of its modern rivals. The predicted best seller is the four-wheel-drive, 2.2-litre diesel in top-of-the-range EX trim, which we test here.

Facing the Honda is the new Hyundai Santa Fe. It cruised to victory over seven-seat rivals in our previous test, so how will it fare against smaller opposition like the Mazda CX-5? Our current class leader won its place at the top thanks to brilliant SkyActiv fuel-saving technology and agile handling. The flagship auto model will be tough to beat in this test.

Verdict

Each of these cars brings something different to the table, and some buyers will prefer the huge practicality of the CR-V over the dynamic flair of the Mazda or off-road ability of the Hyundai. Yet in the final reckoning, it was the model with the greatest range of talents that took top spot.

The Mazda CX-5 is not only the best car to drive in this test, it’s also the cheapest and most efficient. And it appeals to the heart and the head with its sharp styling and low running costs.

Choosing between the Santa Fe and CR-V was harder, although the more affordable Hyundai edges second place with its five-year warranty and powerful engine. A locking diff and hill descent control ensure it’s the best off-road choice, too.

So the Honda finishes last in this test, despite having some superbly thought-out, practical touches in its smart interior. In the end, its relatively high price is difficult to justify.

Bakit naman sila magdadamot? What business will avoid additional sales? I'm sure they know the diesel variant will sell a lot here but they're probably not confident the quality of our diesel will work on their engine. I'm also afraid to know how much the diesel will cost if they bring it here...

that's the problem, i don't think they can see any (Business case) profit/possible Sales of the CX-5 diesel here... my suspect its probably due to the high cost of the unit. imagine this CUV w/ SkyActiv-G already at Php1.45M, the Diesel is around U$2,000 more.....that makes it Php1.5M++ at the very least....and its bare spec (no leather, no sunroof, only 17").... and the other known issue is SkyActiv-D in Japan is in a very tight supply, with high demand fm. JPN/Europe/Aus/NZ....and next year in North America... we don't see that improving anytime soon.... now being a small market that we are....we are the last priority to get this.... so its not about diesel fuel, we have available Euro4 at some select gas pumps.... pinag-dadamutan lang talaga tayo - period!

Would many people buy a P1.7M diesel CX5?

That"s a big question mark!
Kung sa bibili, meron pa rin for a change sa montero or fortuner. At kung seven seater yan, posibleng mas may bumili.

Kung kasing dami ng features ng Tucson CRDi Premium package, siguro may bibili. Pero hindi marami

So it justifies Mazda not to bring the diesel variant here in the meantime. Out of stock rin sa Japan yun diesel variant so mas less likely we will be given allocation in the near future.
