Great review! I have a suggestion though... Could the camera guy/editors show videos of the car's features while you are demonstrating them? For example, when you talked about the steering adjustability, the electronic handbrake, the rear spacing... (just to mention a few), it would be helpful to see those features in action. There seems to be a lack of synchrony between what you're saying and the visuals. This would enhance the viewer's understanding.
Great information, you have explained how the chassis related to the performance with regards to Toyota Harrier. However, I feel that you needed to add on the various trims that exist, because they also influence the prices of the units. Like we have the grand, elegance, premium, and premium advance. Looking forward to more content like this
ukiongea kuhus features, the camera is focusing on something else. it would be nice as you are describing features in the car, camera ikuwe focused on what you are talking about. umeongea kuhusu armrest na storage yake, but all this while the camera was focused on your face. thank you.
My intention is not to offend, but rather to offer constructive feedback. CARNVERSATIONS achieved its highest production quality when Erick and Mbugua teamed up. I understand that Erick has since departed, and Mbugua, who previously edited the videos, is no longer associated with him. Nevertheless, it is imperative that Erick secures a skilled cameraman who can also serve as an editor. Although the channel is relatively new, the host has considerable experience in this domain. Without such improvements, the content will fail to deliver the "sheer watching pleasure" we once enjoyed.
incredible story telling ...this is what am always talking about..every car review must start with a story that gives us the cinematic imagination..kudos erick with a 'ck' 😂😂🔥
Hello. I think the newer 2018 crv has all that and more. Including the panoramic sunroof. When speaking about the steering wheel the cameraman would do better to show us the workings as you use it. Same applies to the instrument cluster eg. Radio, touch buttons etc
Production team walianguka mtihani this time. They either lost crucial demonstrational B-roll shots or they failed to capture them entirely which is a big blunder. Other than that, I've been wanting this comparison for a while now. Nimekuwa nikidharau the new Harrier sababu ya CVT gearboxes but I wasn't aware there was a 6 speed auto variant. Good to know 👍🏾
Chema chajiuza...... The CX5 has gone through its issues in the Kenyan market and now it is wholly accepted. Harrier has a boring shape, a terrible piano black centre console and clearly can't match the CX5 in interior safety and design features. CX5 is audiesque
Personally I've never boarded this whole non button train. I like buttons, where with muscle memory i know where everything is without looking. Touch controls lazima uangalie screen.
Biased review. You pick a top trim harrier and compare it to basic CX5. Aje sasa? This specific harrier ata hazijafika kumi on kenya roads. Do an apple to apple comparison and let us decide. Don't force the harrier down our throats
Very good Info and content Erick but the camera man??!!!..tell him to be moving with you, I want to see everything you are talking about, like the telescopic steering...
I remember when you trashed VW way back at Carnversations. At the time I owned a Passat 2.0 TDI, which I thought was really classy. When you talk of auto-hold in the Harrier, you ought to give VW credit because they invented the auto-hold. I think from as early 2005. My Passat was '09 and had it.
True. Everyone is screaming about the production but not noticing the improvement, human nature. However, anyone who has been following CK since the Carn....... would appreciate every single bit of the production. CK and team wanajaribu sana BTW, it is and will only be better and better, grace to grace. Watch this space
the cameraperson, Andy, has a lot to learn. Honestly, he needs to improve, anafocus sana na Erick akiongea such that analose out kuonyeshana Erick illustrations, bana
@@josephnjoroge3092 i actually offered criticism constructive feedback is essential for growth n improvement,...just go via the comments n youll realize many people have talked about the cameraperson. tena in my criticism sijadanganya...be objective.
Umelipwa na Toyota? Alafu tafuta a better production crew. Unaongelea cup holders na buttons na USB ports Na yeye anashow sura yako. Maybe you should re-upload another version of this video.
Tell me you have been given a deal to hype up a Harrier without tell me you have been given a deal to hype up the Harrier. You didn't even launch then! Go watch Carwow you see how to review cars
This review was so biased. You might as well just did the Harrier review only. I like the look of the CX5 better than the Harrier, I would choose the CX5 anyday.
Nice explanation as always. Although the video guy is out of sync with your explanations. He should focus on what you are trying to describe. Not always on you.
Bro. You've not even reviewed that cx-5 . You've literally just gassed that harrier bila kuhighlight the cx-5. You have actively downplayed the strengths of the cx-5. Like I prefer the buttons on cx-5 that the touch on harrier, I prefer the smaller screen but you 'took that away too". Wewe wokabi that was unfair. Sema strengths zote and don't downplay any. Alafu have you just called cx-5 the Subaru of the two😂? Gari ya kelele mingi ikipita na ya vijanaa? Alafu please take the "normal trims" coz that is what most people actually purchase. Love the new channel lakini camera man kadogo is disappointing (I know its unfair to compare them to mbugua) but yes its definitely not mbugua. If they works on the quality and focusing on what you are talking about, we are set. Good stuff , endlea kutuchanua.
Extremely good information but terrible production quality. The camera must always focus on what you say.
AGREED
You're not wrong. But it's a learning journey.
I agree. Good Host but poor Camera man
Walai, I thought I'm the one who has anger issues
It's something they should work on. Some parts in the video are also overexposed.
The introduction was fire, the first 1min 52sec
On handling, the CX5 handles the curvy roads like magic due to the G-Vectoring Control
I agree the harrier kidogo...iko na some body roll
Great review! I have a suggestion though... Could the camera guy/editors show videos of the car's features while you are demonstrating them?

A video I've waited for so long.
Great content as always 👏
A whopping 20 minutes for the Harrier and less than five minutes for the CX-5? This is a Toyota review; the Mazda had nothing to do here...
Toyota bias i totally agree
Coz the Harrier is simply a better vehicle overall
Video editor needs to put some more effort synchronizing the shots & the explanations.
Keep up you are doing good job i love all your car reviews

Your analysis is commendable
With regards to looks Harrier cannot compete with CX5. Nice review 💯
Wokabi please check on the production quality. We need to actually see what you’re talking about.
The camera guy is letting you down Erick ..........he is just focused on you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wish he'd show more of the cars and use Wokabis voice overs
Manze
It is like Wokabi doesn't check comments...This has be said multiple times bana.
He's gay 😅😅😅

Couldn't agree more brother.
Offense is taken not given. You can't offend someone but they can decide to be offended
incredible story telling ...this is what am always talking about..every car review must start with a story that gives us the cinematic imagination..kudos erick with a 'ck' 😂😂🔥
Professional and epic review as always Erick, but the cameraman is for sure isn't doing justice to your excellent reviews. Iba mbuguzus kule bana.
Great content as always! It would however be helpful to see the features as you talk through them.
Finally! I kept refreshing all day.
What an intro 🔥🔥
That Toyota HARRIER should be put together, with the Mazda Cx-7
Eric na intros mazeee 🔥🔥🔥
Mi replying the intro coz it's captivating 😂❤
For performance I chose CX-5 but for reliability I would go for Harrier.
but the Harrier has better performance?🤔🤔🤔🤔
😂😂😂 harrier is better in this case..
Harrier is underpowered@@dennismutuku157

Superb intro Erick but how you throw the CX5 under the bus is unfair lol so basically the CX5 was there to help the Harrier stand out
True!
Production team walianguka mtihani this time. They either lost crucial demonstrational B-roll shots or they failed to capture them entirely which is a big blunder.
Other than that, I've been wanting this comparison for a while now. Nimekuwa nikidharau the new Harrier sababu ya CVT gearboxes but I wasn't aware there was a 6 speed auto variant. Good to know 👍🏾
we need to see what you are explaining...camera man amedoz...otherwise love the video..very informative
My eyes are glued on the wine red Baby...idgad
Chema chajiuza...... The CX5 has gone through its issues in the Kenyan market and now it is wholly accepted. Harrier has a boring shape, a terrible piano black centre console and clearly can't match the CX5 in interior safety and design features. CX5 is audiesque
Great intro hii nayo imeenda group of schools🔥🔥...lakini haujafanyia watu wa mazda cx5 poa...😂
Erico wa magari safi tafadhali tuko 2024
SI unit (Mbugua) arudi apo kwa camera. 😢
Great content wokabi. This is why o come here every week. Msee wa camera na video editor waamke kiasi.
Wokabi, kwani your camera guy / editor want to sabotage you ama rada ni gani? Why not synchronise what you are saying to what is shown?
Personally I've never boarded this whole non button train. I like buttons, where with muscle memory i know where everything is without looking. Touch controls lazima uangalie screen.
100%. Tactile buttons win over screens. Imagine some of the electric cars where you have to dive into sub-menus just to activate the reverse gear
Biased review. You pick a top trim harrier and compare it to basic CX5. Aje sasa? This specific harrier ata hazijafika kumi on kenya roads. Do an apple to apple comparison and let us decide. Don't force the harrier down our throats
He is a Toyota guy. You even wonder what the CX-5 was doing there
Nice review Wokabi... could you do one for 2017 Xtrail against Honda CRV?
What an introduction . My oh my
Great intro wokabi
& bring the kluger
Great intro @Eric Wokabi
CAMERA wokabi CAMERA
!!!!
Good review but tell the camera guy to focus on the vehicles not you, he is so boring focusing on you throughout not showing what you're demonstrating
Great work wokabi
Very good Info and content Erick but the camera man??!!!..tell him to be moving with you, I want to see everything you are talking about, like the telescopic steering...

What an intro!!
Very biased review..the title should have been why you need to buy an harrier.
Cx-5 diesel is a beast.
Facts
The most unreliable car is the Mazda cx5
The video quality is improving... keep up good work🔥🔥🔥
True. Everyone is screaming about the production but not noticing the improvement, human nature. However, anyone who has been following CK since the Carn....... would appreciate every single bit of the production. CK and team wanajaribu sana BTW, it is and will only be better and better, grace to grace. Watch this space
Hi Eric great review, though it feel like this review was meant to boost harriers' confidence.
Harrier gr sport is a gem
Kindly compare the VW tiguan and the Mazda Cx5 both 2017 onwards
good job Eric can we get Honda fit hybrid and Mazda demio diesel
the cameraperson, Andy, has a lot to learn. Honestly, he needs to improve, anafocus sana na Erick akiongea such that analose out kuonyeshana Erick illustrations, bana
At least appreciate the good part stop being negative always
@@josephnjoroge3092 i actually offered criticism constructive feedback is essential for growth n improvement,...just go via the comments n youll realize many people have talked about the cameraperson. tena in my criticism sijadanganya...be objective.
Nice info Erick, Please do review ya Toyota kluger 2nd generation
Improved production quality
Toyota will last 20 years anywehere without engine or gearbox change. Can CX 5 last 5 years in Kati Komu Kitui?
Umelipwa na Toyota?
Alafu tafuta a better production crew. Unaongelea cup holders na buttons na USB ports Na yeye anashow sura yako.
Maybe you should re-upload another version of this video.
Finally these is the perfect match
I have the CX5 petrol turbo variant and the performance is highly dependent on the fuel RON level.
🤣🤣THE INTRO 🔥🔥🔥
Have the camera focus on what you are explaining. We have missed out on almost all interior explanations.
Wokabi where did you get this cameraman?
Eric, Also review the Mazda CX8
a suggestion; g-wagen 350d vs landcruiser prado 200 series offroad competition. thank you.
hi review is biased towards the Harrier or maybe am biased towards the CX5
Very great review.
Does the harrier Gs have a similar performance engine as the Asu60
Wokabi has information but he's a Toyota guy and has no hate for Hondas. Any other brand outright dislike and bias is evident
Comparison for us btw Subaru Forester SK and Toyota Harrier asu60 please?
You're simply a Toyota Harrier salesman
How do you compare a Harrier with a CX5
Interms of performance a CX 5 is not even close to premio Nyoka
If you know you know
Bro you don't know what you are talking about, definitely you have never driven any mazda
Was worried until you specified the variant of the harrier
There’s room for improvement on the video editing. Good information though.
Bro kindly help me know more about safe overtaking
Hey Erick, by any chance can you review Nissan Qashqai(formely known as Dualis)? I have seen a few in Kenya and am interested in getting one.
very beautiful car, mamehn
Please never buy any nissan car...gearbox problems....if you don't beleave me, go buy..one day you will regret
Consumption per litre?
Great work
I drive 2024 mazda cx 5Grade walk IPM7. Hiyo harrier haiwezani
Tell me you have been given a deal to hype up a Harrier without tell me you have been given a deal to hype up the Harrier.
You didn't even launch then!
Go watch Carwow you see how to review cars
Cameraman anafocus na Sura ya huyu jama sana,, sisi tunadai kuona whats hes saying being shown on camera like the cup holders akisema, inaonyeshwa
Mkubwa don't overtake on a continuous line😅😅
Kenyans don't respect those road marks ..... especially psv's
i would still go for mazda cx5 2200cc diesel twin turbo
This review was so biased. You might as well just did the Harrier review only.
I like the look of the CX5 better than the Harrier, I would choose the CX5 anyday.
If i had the money, fuel consumption would determine whether i pay the extra 100k or not.
Nice explanation as always. Although the video guy is out of sync with your explanations. He should focus on what you are trying to describe. Not always on you.
Naomba kazi ya editing
There is value for money on the harrier, especially for those with family.
Erick how r you wanted to ask abt the subaru forester 2016 X break wats the X break meaning
Which Japanese car is better than the mazda cx-90?
Bro. You've not even reviewed that cx-5 . You've literally just gassed that harrier bila kuhighlight the cx-5. You have actively downplayed the strengths of the cx-5. Like I prefer the buttons on cx-5 that the touch on harrier, I prefer the smaller screen but you 'took that away too". Wewe wokabi that was unfair. Sema strengths zote and don't downplay any. Alafu have you just called cx-5 the Subaru of the two😂?
Gari ya kelele mingi ikipita na ya vijanaa?
Alafu please take the "normal trims" coz that is what most people actually purchase. Love the new channel lakini camera man kadogo is disappointing (I know its unfair to compare them to mbugua) but yes its definitely not mbugua. If they works on the quality and focusing on what you are talking about, we are set. Good stuff , endlea kutuchanua.
You should compare a Toyota harrier with a mazda cx 7 not 5 series please...
Great content but your video editor needs to synchronize your explanation to the actual car footage
Toyota harrier anyday anytime❤❤❤
This entire video was all for the purpose of glorifying the toyota harrier instead of instructive and fair comparison of both cars
Agreed
Cx5 is not up to the game
But that is a base model CX 5,he would have used the full options mazda version
The Intro😂🔥
Great stats, request for a KIA
The intro
your videographer has let u down ana focus kwako badala kuonyesha gari
