Better a lot than the previous model

Hmmm... Interesting. Hrv bigger space?

may be the driver seat kut?

May be the front seat space kut?

Just tested HRV. Hmm, obviously the xtrail is much bigger space either front or back. In fact I think it is also bigger than crv. I could be wrong
Crv interiors is more elegant I would say. But still I love the emergency seat idea for the xtrail.

teringin Xtrail. My dad used it years ago..

can only track the fuel consumption & keep a history track on it.

the emergency seat is also why i chooses this car. else i would likely opt for cx5.

crv should be bigger than x trail. x trail is smaller like due to the new car design, more curvy.

and with still only 2 airbags.... dissapointing

as a current old xtrail user, i am also keen on the hrv. good to have a small suv for town use. but of coz cx5 is way much better. but dont need a bigger suv too. how long is the waiting list for hrv now?

lol the design blows away even the cx5.

crv no place to stand.

no place to stand yet its the best selling compact suv in the world.

that's why on the road is full of fugly cars

To me, the CRV design is the most hedious. The new X-Trail is refreshing though. The CRV may be the best selling SUV in the world but what people don't realise is that these stats cannot be fully represented here. The CRV model you get here for example is not with the Earth Dreams engine unlike say the CX-5 (CBU) has the same Skyactiv engine and same tech as you get worldwide.

Exactly, it goes to show brand name and reputation is also important, hence the ugly cars with good rv will always have better sales despite not having good looks and latest engine tech

Btw, australia also didnt get the new earth dreams engine too

I would consider X-trail too if i was looking for a mid size SUV. How can CX5 or CRV compete with XTRAIL, i drove CX5 2.5 AWD before, it is a driver's car, passenger will suffer due to crampy interior. CRV is spacious, but the material is a let down (and pricey too)

Go for the X-TRAIL.. no regret! btw, have you try the FORESTER XT?

Nope, haven't try forester yet. What's the best deal can we get for xtrail? So far the best deal I come across is rm5k rebate with free leather seat for 2.0 xtrail. UnfortunatelY there is no more 3 years free maintenance anymore.

I wonder if there is any good deal on hari raya promo. I still can figure out to go for black or white. Lol

I think perhaps you misunderstood me a bit. The reason CRV does well worldwide (even though ugly in my opinion) is because they did offer decent quality and tech. At least the ones sold in the other countries. But our local CRV is anything but. That is why I caution people who blindly read reviews on international websites and take it in good faith that the car they buy here will be as what the international reviewers make them out to be. Instant runaway hit especially since Honda brandname is too powerful locally that people will simply put their thrust because of the brandname unfortunately.

For me, I dislike CVT personally. Give me a conventional auto box over CVT any day.

Everybody has different preferences. Mazda cars are known to be crampy for rear passengers. While having a lot of rear legroom is always nice, small families usually find the CX-5 rear space sufficient. If they don't find the space adequate, then they would progress to something larger. Myself, I choose the Santa Fe because it was one of the very few affordable 7 seater SUVs available that time. The new X-Trail would have given me a hard time choosing if it was available back then but if given the chance to choose again, I'll still choose the Santa Fe and don't regret my choice because the turbo diesel is too addictive to ignore.

For me, the Forester design is a little boxy. The engine and tech is nice but it was a 5 seater just like the CX-5. Plus it's a CVT.

my review - http://www.autofreaks.com/reviews/test-dri...-trail-2-5-4wd/

twin airbags is a letdown, for sure.

exactly, make it 6 airbags then it would be perfect
