Hi Guys, I'm having headache deciding my next SUV. Currently I have narrowed it down to these 3/ What I understand is

Nissan X trail, spacious compare the other 2.
Just release new version on 2016
clip gear mechanism. ( for overtaking purpose )
Reduce noise at high speed
7 seaters
Good Parking System

Mazda CX-5
Better FC compare with the other 2
Have better engine performace ( Speed )

Guys any advice on this as this Saturday I will be going down to these showroom for test drive

CX-5 obviously is the one..
th FL version do have better NVH compare before, 2.0 is good enough.. but Skyactiv-D is the best but too expensive
sound system in all three, CX5 is the best.. did try both Xtrail n CX-5 before, that center console to control the audio unit is a lot better..

as for ride refinement, Xtrail n CX-5 is similar feel.. maybe because both SUV, a bit on hard side.. so rear passenger comfortable not that good compare CRV

fuel consumption, CX5 not spectacular but good enough if u drive normally even for 2.0 petrol, diesel is the best of course..

2.0 NA rubbish engine to push heavy car + full load passengers = bad fuel consumption, better pick 2.2 sky-activ D 2.2 engine, BTW diesel engine more durable than gasoline engine, more better FC as well and engine much last longer lasting up to 7 years, peace of mind and can use rest of money to buy house.  biggrin.gif

the new skyactiv D is lighter due to low compression for its diesel engine.. while normal diesel engine need to build it tough because need to withstand the high compression for its internal combustion
summore its expensive compare 2.0 petrol model..
are sure its fuel consumption is really bad for CX-5 2.0 petrol model? do you know how bad the CRV 2.0 model fuel consumption?
