Seeking opinion
I am doing with civic fc tc now
Starting to think of taller car for family
Pampered by the e brake auto hold and space etc means I m leaning to consider crv
Puzzling now is on whether to get the current gen, or wait for new gen
What will make current gen worth consider now
Or what new gen worth waiting for?
Thanks
Are you in a hurry to get a SUV soon?
The CR-V G6 probably be arriving 3rd or 4th quarter in Malaysia as there is still no launch in Thailand nor we have seen RHD version yet.
The current G5 model design is still best looking whether you’re looking at front or rear. While the G6 design looks boxy like a Volvo XC60. Of course the interior is more modern for G6 like 9” headunit vs 7” on current gen. Probably we getting the half LCD half analogue meter as seen on Civic RS unlike G5 is full LCD. And current Honda Sensing is ditching the radar unit and purely rely on its camera versus current G5 uses front bumper radar and camera.
G6 will see the hybrid the only go to option 2.0L Atkinson NA hybrid while lower spec is 1.5L Turbo like what we are seeing from HR-V. Honda is going PHEV and VTEC Turbo is going to be slowly discontinue.
The current G5 I’m using I’m very happy with its turbo power, safety features and still relevant in todays SUV standard. It may not have Blind spot monitoring and 360 deg camera yet there is front and rear parking sensors to rely on. It has Android Apple CarPlay even is not wireless yet I make do with purchasing CarLinkit v4.0 hence X70 doesn’t even support Android Apple CarPlay to begin with. I’m very sure today drivers will prefer to have this android apple thing in their vehicle for day to day usage. Play songs from Spotify and navigate via Waze.
