honda crv is using the old engine to carry the heavy "big" body
mazda cx5 has been balanced out on every aspect and provides ample "space"

choose ur pick..
if want to continue honda then feel free to do so crv do not have frequent nor many problematic issues, thus being reliable in and out, just not that powerful but it is sufficient enough....u're not racing or anything anyway...just ferrying family around or luggages..
as for mazda, around 8k+ has been sold in japan as soon as it was launched, shocking numbers very fuel safe and balanced power
vw tiguan wins a lil though compared to mazda cx5 but tiguan is much smaller

i hate the feeling of underpowered when wanna overtake car in highway..
i read alot saying crv hardly overtake vehicle in front after being slow.. due to its 2.0L.... then cx5 also 2.0L.. wonder wud be the same issue here.

vw tiguan over budget RM240k
a fren of mine suggest sportage...

so many suv to choose

black color is not available in malaysia for cx5?

the 165k is for the 4x2 or 4x4 model?

indicative price RM175k for AWD

mazda cx5 CBU japan~
4x2 is more or less RM165k
4x4 is more or less RM175k

kia sportage requires 6 months or less waiting period for now, when they launch it, they brought a few stock only, takes some time to balance out the stock to go smoothly, it's a sleek looking suv anyway lolx..kudos to the design, not sure about the driving, seems okay but i can't comment about it

honda crv is well known for it's not very powerful so n so but people still prefer it because of the size/space and price..not much bad stuff about it, it's reliable enough haha...

mazda cx5 only got 5 colours for now..
blue, red, white, aluminium, metrogrey

any news for diesel model? will prefer diesel more than petrol...

if 4x4 is 175k is too exp la~crv is also 4x4 but only 150k

diesel model won't be brought into malaysia..
malaysia diesel quality will kill the engine, if not kill then will deteriorate the engine..
see all the rexton and other diesel cars..in very bad shape

@jamesngui
if something which is 100% all new which cost 175k below aint good enough for you...feel free to choose the old tech with new body crv or perhaps wait until honda incorporate a new engine in the car which i believe will be done after the first few batches is bought by people

CX-7 just wash eye only(very nice!!!!), too expensive.. me poor...
3008, 1560cc only...no navigator and rear camera
ASX, macam very small...
sadly, cx-5 no black mica colour...WAI WAI WAI!
current crv overall dimension indead seems bigger than cx-5 but fabric seats and no navigator and rear camera... aiyo doesnt look cool inside tho due to the fabric seats..

free tinted voucher kua...
it's confirmed 19" wheel with 17" spare.
not mentioned i-stop in the spec list.

Nope, our unit will not having i-stop, lane depature features. Quite sad but overall the specs that we are getting her is consider worth the money and much better compare to other maker.

well...i went to SA in glenmarie, the guy told me that the unit came into port klang are all 18"wheel...

so really wondering...
but 19" cost a bomb if were to change tyre in future....

Is either 19" or 17" and we are getting 19" for our market.

Cheers!

Seems nice ya, compare cx5 with prius which one is better? Its for my mom which she originally wanna buy camry, but becoz of higher price with old engine she ask me other car to choose then...

CX-5 is a CUV and Prius is hybrid sedan. I guess Prius is more suitable to your mum as hybrid car can give better mileage and easy to drive.

of course cx5 is better...
skyactiv and hybrid goes hand in hand under EEV
however skyactiv does not have does additional stuff like a motor and a large battery which is considered as addons...
skyactiv improved the current combustion engine even more than it was without any addons..
