Price is secondary to me, more importantly is its quality, after sales service, handling, power for overtaking, NVH, comfy etc.

What about CR-V? Is the 2.0 underpowered?

For 2018 model? With this aggressive rebate, is the new model coming out any time soon?

I have the current 2nd gen CX-5 2.5L and I do not regret the purchase..build quality is higher than both CR-V and X-trail..after sales service is so-so, my previous Honda CR-V service also similar...handling is good, feels like driving a  sedan...power for 2.5L is good, century sprint in 8-ish seconds and good mid range torque..NVH and comfort level is levels above the 1st gen CX-5, which speaks volumes for itself..the - point for the CX-5 is that the suspension/absorber has a high fault rate, I had my strut bearings changed within a month of ownership...last point - the X-trail has only 2 air bags for both 2.0 and 2.5 variants, why even consider that?
