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.

Yea not in hurry, just start considering
Hence I m checking both G5 and G6

For now I derive myself few +/- for G5 vs G6

G5
+ cheaper for now, not sure if got more discount later when gen change coming
+ well known specs, and issues, know how to tackle
+ meet most expectation on what can be look for (ADAS, space, etc)
- if wait for final discount, may limited stock
- design too identical to my FC, nothing new much
- can’t expect more

G6
+ latest to come for next few years
+ better refined vs G5?
+ HEV option?
- spec may not up to expectation?
- much much costlier? (More so for HEV?)

my target aim is the current 1.5TCP at current pricing, which I feel best bang for bucks if with disc some more
Not sure if G6 will give identical spec close to that price? I would prefer HEV if possible, but I feel it’s price will go beyond…way up which I can’t justify myself

have u made decision?i saw paultan updated that g6 will b launch on 20th mac in Thai market

haha no man...waiting for Thai/Indon launch to see what we can expect for MY
main thing is the $$...I can't afford to consider too high...if they do like Civic...1.8 gone, 1.5T is the new baseline (more like previous 1.5TC become the baseline)
chance is if we see the G6 new baseline is the 1.5T price close to current 1.5TC-P, then I m ok...if the new 1.5T is price at today 4WD, I m pass...
I may consider G5 if they give heavy disc...or I consider 2nd hand/other brand

Guys I’m in a dilemma

I think this question has surely been asked many2 times here

I am in the market for a car and went to Honda today to check out civic, and no test drive unit

But there was a CR-V 2.0 and boy it was super comfortable. I’m not a fast driver, and the SA allowed me test drive, was actually really adequate in terms of power

So I’m actually really torn. The interior space of the CRV is godly, so damn comfortable and spacious

But the Civic has better specs (9” wireless apple CarPlay and Honda Sensing)

SA say got ready stock and can give 6k discount, so end up pricing really competitive with Civic FE V-spec

I wonder what is you guys take on this! Thanks!

imho, Civic fe is not so comfortable for long distance. KB-KL-KB sakit bontot . seat keras.
i drive the V spec.

CRV not that comfy also,, long distance sakit bontot

Thailand base model CRV starts from RM186K.
Usually our price is higher?

I would go for CX8 with that price 

u tested cry surely there is some need fulfilled for you right...
I m driving FC...and looking for change due to family structure change....and can't really going with "low" car for long

If you are not for spirited drive, I think will be more comfy driving crv...

for me its more of deciding if to go cheaper G5 but having identical look and feel like FC for another decade...
or risk waiting for G6 and pay more becoz wan a new look? 

Actually got many2 factors lah
I’m quite young and single actually so civic makes more sense haha

But….CRV is better for practicality sense and comfort
I’m not a fast driver at all

End up I think need to chose something that will be future proof. The 2.0 CRV is a bit too compromised. If I can stretch and get TCP CRV is different, then not losing out on much
