i'm looking to buy a new car, i shortlisted these few cars

Altis 1.8, Subaru XV, Proton x70, Mazda CX-5, and Civic 2022. I've test drove most, except for CX-5(mid-spec, high spec way above my budget already) and Civic 2022.

My requirements are fairly simple, I need space for family (not big, currently 3 adults, and maybe 1 kid in the future), daily work commuting of about 30km per trip, and some outstation traveling for holiday (this is before pandemic, so probably will resume this after pandemic is eased).

What I am looking at for this new car

1. reliability, this is why a pre-owned passat did not get shortlisted even though a pre-owned is somewhere 120k
2. good driving experience on highway, I'm currently driving a myvi 1.5 and i really hate the feeling on highway when traveling even at 130km/h, so my new car i'm expecting it to be firm and stable at those speed with good nvh, i've tested City and Vios and both doesn't satisfy me for this, this is why i am looking at Seg C, or even Seg D.
3. fuel consumption, i know i can't compare this with my current myvi, but i don't want a fuel guzzler at the end of the day that creates a hole in my pocket.
appreciate any comments and suggestions.

The Cx5 is a fairly good choice and vast majority on the road are 2.0l GLS versions anyway. The good one is the diesel but it’s probably out of your budget.

3 adults? Assuming the one that sits at the back most often isn’t too tall or big on size then a sedan suits your needs.

I’d suggest you wait for the 2022 Honda HRV instead.

the 1 sits at the back is an old man, body size just average asian man.
HRV 2022 is based on which model from overseas? maybe i can look at some pic and features 1st
After test driving most of the shortlisted cars, indeed XV gave me one of the best driving feeling. My only concern with it is the fuel consumption and the spare parts availability due to not as common as other jap made.
CX5 i have yet to test drive, but i see a lot of good comments about it, but looking at the price gap between the mid spec and high spec, other than sensors and what not, i wonder if it affects the overall driving experience

2022 HRV is an all new model that will replace the existing HRV, already launched in JDM and EDM, also recently launched in Thailand. Shouldn’t be too long before it’s launched here.
