Base Model Gas CUVs (Your insights)

[Sleepcare]

Since 2019 is the year of the CUVs (all-new Forester, MG and Rav4), why don't we all pit them against each other.

This thread may be helpful especially to first time CUV buyers with a strict budget.

All New Forester


All New Rav4 LE


Honda Crv 2.0S


Mazda CX5 FWD Pro


Nissan Xtrail 2.0


You may include other CUVs from the other brands that are not mentioned (Hyundai,MG & etc)

Let me start the thread..

For me, the bang for the buck is still the Crv. Hindi sa biased opinion since i drive one, but i still feel that it has the complete package against the others.

Actually kagat naman sa lahat (interior, exterior, equipment, handling, safety) except lang for the engine power especially when loaded

for 1.475M you have a 2019 diesel cross over. why gas though?

I think not all people prefer diesel-fed crossover/s over gas. Also, entry-level diesel crossovers are stripped-down compared to its price-matched gas variant. (Example-CRV 1.6V vs 2.0S)

parang walang interested sa segment na yan

kasi ang labanan ng cuv gas engines eh dapat nasa 1.1M tops lang

so that's

- Ford Ecosport
- Honda BRV
- Hyundai Kona
- Suzuki Vitara
- Mitsu Xpander
- Toyota Rush


the CX3, HRV, XV could be included pero 1.3M++ na eh, sa 1.4M++ pede ka na sa Isuzu 1.9 MUX or even the Montero Standard and the bare Tucson CRDi


pede siguro add sa list sa taas ang upcoming Jimny coz it's rumored to be priced at 1.1M territory


even if it's like P5 na lang difference sa gas stations ng price ng diesel vs gas, diesel is very fuel efficient in bumper to bumper traffic

last January 13, nag full tank ako sa Tarlac ng Isuzu MUx ko, ngaun Feb 6 na, may 3 bars pa ako sa fuel gauge. that's considering I traveled like more than a 100KM pauwi pa from Tarlac on that day. pure city driving na afterwards average of 16Km / day. work office

Been a sedan user ever since.

Next time magpalit ako, CUV lang, most likely gas, I hate diesel.

It's so mabaho and maingay.

Toss coin na lang sa HR-V, CR-V, CX-3, CX-5, XV, Forester.

And that silver RAV4 above, it looks so bland and bare. Even for a based model, hindi dapat ganyan ka pangit (Hello CR-V 2.0).
And how can you call it a RAV4 without AWD or 4WD? so dumb.

[minicarph]

malamang hinde lang 4 ang tatanggalin kasi pati A dapat. kasi A stands for All-Wheel

so Toyota RV na lang


pero ang buset yun CX5, kasi parang ano yun 5WD vehicle, taas ng pangarap di pa nimbento yun ah

I would consider Hyundai/Kia if nasa EU or US ako. I'm actually a fan since nag start yung fluidic design nila.

meron naman android auto 6speakers and reversing sensor. 8sp torque converter. I think thats good enough. 1.545m i think is still reasonable. youre left with some cash for Headlight upgrades and a reversing camera and tpms.

the crv 2.0 S is good also with all the bells and whistle. it just drinks too much milk.
