It really depend on your own driving style, different ppl got different needs and views on same item.
To me, Cross 1.8V is underpower, but if you just want to have good ride and you always drive with reasonable speed within limit, then cross is definitely better compare to HRV turbo, in term of fuel consumption (because underpower) and cabin quietness. Service maintenance also more simple, just follow the schedule send to SC every 10k km. Honda turbo engine need to follow the indicator on meter.
HRV turbo looks more aggressive, cheaper on road tax, the half digital meter also look more nicer compare to Toyota. But if you buy honda, have to bear with CVT noise and road noise on high speed, all honda car just born with it. Buying Honda is to floor the pedal with CVT and engine noise, and it's acceleration always make you smile, lol. If wan quiet then go for Toyota.
Speaking about Cross 1.8
Turbo will always win in low end torque . NA on the other hand needs to rev harder. So yes I know how it feels feeling underpower.
Like example my Exora. It has 140PS , the same horsepower as the HRV 1.8L, but torque output is way more than HRV.
On highway, if wanna overtake , the Exora does it much stronger with lesser effort.
Wheras the HRV 1.8, needs to rev 3000 above , and even that also the torque feels flat. I think it's typical Honda. Me not the type want to rev high to the moon, just to get power.
Drove my bro in law's CRV 1.5 Turbo, same engine in the HRV turbo, yes its turbo but probably ECO mode makes it rather "lag" like the HRV eco mode.
For modest drive and better FC all rounder, I always advice go for NA.
Turbo is for power, not prioritized for fuel economy. Turbo roadtax cheaper but the higher FC, unfortunately, will quickly eat the road tax savings.
