  • So you are interested to get a SUV but cant decide whether to get the Toyota Corolla Cross or the Honda HRV? Both are great cars and we dont blame you for being confused. The only way to decide is to drive them both back to back, which is what we did.
    In this video, we drive both the SUV's and come away with a final decision on which is the better buy!

    Electronic parking was actually the main deal breaker for me thus I bought HRV
    Other things that I like about HRV:
    - Honda Connect
    - Adaptive cruise control
    - Driver power seat
    - Auto high beam
    - Ultra seat

    I love these kind of comparison video which is a blessing coming from motor journalist such as yourself bro. Big up! Keep it up, your channel one of my most favourite.
    Question though,
    1. How is the sound / audio system? Music very important for us drivers in day to day so it matters alot. How do the two compare?
    2. Maintenance cost of both?
    3. Noise insulation, how different are they really? Slightly? Noticeably?
    4. How does these compare to the mazda brothers? (Cx30 and cx5 even)

    • @PistonMalaysia

      Thank you, it makes all our effort worthwhile with comments that appreciate our work. As for your questions:
      1. How is the sound / audio system? Music very important for us drivers in day to day so it matters alot. How do the two compare?
      The two are quite evenly matched in that sense as both are not using high end audio systems. For me, Apple Carplay and Android Auto matters a lot as I listen to music from CZcams Music and Apple Music.
      2. Maintenance cost of both?
      This is best answered by a long term owner so we will try to arrange an owner review.
      3. Noise insulation, how different are they really? Slightly? Noticeably?
      About this, the Toyota has slightly better refinement. Not to the point where the Honda is annoying but just a tad better.
      4. How does these compare to the mazda brothers? (Cx30 and cx5 even)
      They are of a different segment, so they are not evenly matched. The CX-30 is a very nice car but it is quite small. The CX-5 is much nicer to drive thanks to Mazda's GVC Plus technology. It is also more powerful and better refined.

    I'm usually not a fan of overly long videos, but I watched every second of this and enjoyed your presentation!
    I understand that they aren't in the same segment and you've also addressed this to another commenter below, but I'm curious how:-
    1. Toyota Corolla Cross and HRV line up against the new CX-5 (2.0 Mid version). I really like the look of the CX-5 but I'm a little worried of its datedness, being a 7 year old model essentially.
    2. What other alternatives would you suggest for someone not looking to spend more than RM150K and is only targeting SUVs to combat floods.
    Appreciate your help. Thanks!

    • @PistonMalaysia
      @PistonMalaysia  Před měsícem +1

      Hi, think you asked something similar in a separate video as well. Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos, we strive to be as informative as possible. As for your questions:
      1. The CX-5 is bigger than the HRV and about the same size as the Cross, perhaps bigger in some areas. But overall, the Mazda is much nicer to drive and feels more premium as well. But you are right to think that it will get dated very fast. We hear the new CX5 will be launched next year, so you can expect it to be here in 2 years.
      2. For that price range, you could consider the Proton X70 which is quite a big SUV and well below your budget. If you have a family, the X70 is also quite family friendly when it comes to storage and leg space. Try to go for the 1.8 version, though they have discontinued that model, some dealerships might still have it.
      Also, as we suggested in an earlier comment, do check out the new Honda CRV if you can up your budget a little bit.
      All the best.

      @PainX Před měsícem

      @@PistonMalaysia Thank you so much for the reply. We have a small family of 3 only so size is not really that big of a concern. The wife prefers a Japanese car so proton is out hahah.
      Would you say the new facelifted CX5 2.0 MID is worth the price? I've not seen many comments about the mid, it's always the high model that is reviewed.
      For me currently its between CX5 v CX30 v HRV. Thanks again brother!

    • @PistonMalaysia
      @PistonMalaysia  Před 9 měsíci +6

      That's a tough one. Both are comfortable at the back, but the seats of the Corolla are probably better. However, the front seats are quite big and this can hinder the forward view for backseat passengers, and that will not help with motion sickness.

    That Cross is a GR version. Already added plenty of upgrades aka bell and whistles, aesthetic wise. The normal version of Cross is so outdated and looks aged 😢 The HRV on the other hand is just the V spec, looks so much more sharper and sleeker, not even the top of the line RS.

    Toyota's quality is better than Honda and it's overall more solid. With Honda you get rattling sound inside the cabin even with new cars. Check out the kerb weight of both Corolla Cross and HRV. The Cross is almost 200kg heavier than HRV which feels like tin can.
