Both car i will reject, very minimal safety features & outdated tech. if solely driving in city or small town, i will go for BYD Otto. EV is the way to go now for short driving.

If long range, similar budget can get Mazda CX5, Subaru Xv, Recon Toyota CHR 1.2T (but smaller) also anyway better in term of safety, chassis, handling, technology compare to the 2. A lot of discount are available now so you might be surprise some of the competitors pricing is quite near.

New HRV still have the Steering Deck issue?

Most modern electronic steering rack will encounter issue, even Toyota also. No way to run from it.

Safety rating you go research how good Honda & Toyota when compared to like Mazda & Subaru
Honda HRV until today side impact still the archellis heel, some country dont even have 5 star rating.

Regarding outdated people already start moving to EV thus why i mentioned BYD Otto. If a lot of long distance & highway travelling, Mazda CX5 2.0 low spec. anytime more better compare to them in term of overall drivability (6AT gearbox). Their Skyactive engine is one of the most high tech & efficient engine available from Japan, beating most of the competitors nowadays.

corolla cross hybrid, IF I'm going to choose between this 2, I will go for corolla cross hybrid variant.

Until today most Corolla Cross hybrid owners i met regretted. Once you drive up to Genting or Cameron Highlands and back, they just pass it to their wifes for kids & market shopping. laugh.gif

On paper like very power with combine, but in reality felt very underpower when driving up hills...

the point of hybrid on normal car is to save fuel whenever you can, especially city drive not hyper car kind of hybrid bruh.

share with me how many times normal citizen go up genting for fun? i go up there once a year now since zero touge nowadays. If i were to go up there vroom2, i go with different car.

The main point is that i will choose it for FC since my daily now is within (8.5l/100km ~ 10l/100km) with my driving style.

If you choose FC & city drive, better just go for EV like BYD Otto. Since hybrid cars 2nd value also low when sell, rather get EV.

BYD Otto second hand value good? 😄
*
Hybrid = Low
EV = Low
Since both also low why not choose the best?

EV cheaper to run, got instant torque/power and less parts to worry compare to hybrid
Since city drive only, EV can get you anyway within the city range and a lot of shopping center also got charging point.

Same bro, u tot hybrid dont have battery? Some more need to worry even more especially with the engine still remain.
2x maintenance compare to just EV.
