I just bought the gas variant for similar reasons you’ve highlighted. After 2 weeks I found out that the gas variant has no hood insulation which is a very basic feature. It makes me wonder what else Honda left out in the gas variant but wasn’t published.
Thank you for the nice review between the 2 crv variants, it’s very instructive, yes for me gas variant is better , my 2011 crv is gas and still is in good driving condition with regular Honda maintenance. I will prefer the same crv gas in the newest model . Thank you , you helped me made up my mind definitely between crv diesel 7 seater & gas 5 seater 👍
Great comparo between the 2 variants, consumers may now decide on what variant to choose, for my personal preference, i would still choose the gas variant 👍
Excellent and lengthy review of the newer Honda-CR-V with some emphasis on the difference between gasoline and diesel powered models which perked my interest because admittedly, I am not well versed with the diesel powered cars. However, this may just be purely academic knowing that the use of diesel-powered engines is being phased out in general and the push is towards the use of Hybrids and EV's.

I believe that the next generation CR-V that will be launched this month will sadly no longer have a diesel option 😢. There's going to be a hybrid and a 4x4 variant, though!
@@RealRoyRobleswhat are the drawbacks sir? planning to buy crv but I dont know what is the right choice if diesel for fuel economy or gas since crv are known for cvt gas engines. please help me sir. thank you
@@edwardwong1642 if planning to keep in the long run mas ok Siguro yung ngayon, kasi mas Manalo na maintenance pag Natalia na lifespan nung sa battery sa hybrid. ok na siguro ako sa ngayon, wait lang ako Humana price, and pag umabot na budget sir
Excellent review and comparo! I hope Honda would add a top of the line gas variant in there line up with 7 seats, panoramic sunroof and honda sensing. Sort of two top of the line each for gas and diesel variant. More option for customers and driving enthusiast.
That's true. It is interesting how even the diesel S variant has several features over the gas-powered S model, thus really making it feel like an entry-level choice only
Come on Roy, we're not British or American petrol heads. We're more on destroying mother nature with the brute force and grunt of a diesel engine xD. Regardless, awesome comparo man thanks for the vid
Oh we're faaaar from the UK or US market 🤣 I think the local Domestic Market is underrated because of how we love our cars! In other countries cars are disposable but here, it's part of the family. I know because I have an almost 20 year old daily that I can't let go! Thanks for you comment!
Thanks for this review ... one question though. Would I have a better experience going up to Baguio with a full load (5 passengers and bags) in a gas CRV or diesel?
I own the top of the line AWD diesel variant. We went to Baguio for 3 days and 2 nights, went around the city everyday. We just used up half of the full tank when we arrived back to Manila.
I got to discuss the diesel's FC at about 10:17 :-) I got crazy good FC from the Diesel CR-V. About 12 km/l in the city and about 19 to 20 on the highway. Those are hybrid numbers! Honda giving it the 1.6 liter Turbodiesel was a great choice.
While the diesel variant is more fuel efficient and quite torquey, I would still go for the gasoline variant of the CR-V for its smoothness and refinement. 😊
Nice comparo! If I may ask, how tall are you, brother? Just between these two, I would've chosen the gas variant for the gear lever alone. It's just faster shifting gears with that one and less confusing. Plus quick maneuvers like adjusting forward and backward in quick succession is just easier. But it having no third row seats is a bummer. Speaking of the third row seat, and seating in general, this looks tight for quite a wide and chunky vehicle. So for the money, I wouldn't choose neither. I'd be looking at more spacious, true 7-seater crossover SUVs.
Thanks!! I'm 5'11 to 6 feet depending on the weather hehe plus I'm wider than most guys :-) so if I fit inside, that shouldn't be a problem for the average Filipino. If not for the benefits of the diesel in terms of fuel efficiency I'd go for the gasoline variant any day!
@@RealRoyRobles Got it. Thanks for the info! I'm about 5'8". I own an Ertiga GL and that is probably one of the most spacious MPVs in the market, especially in terms of third row seats. I remember you being comfortable in the Ertiga. Makes me proud. Hehe.

Kamusta gas variant sir? So far so good?

Fair enough!
I disagree with this reviewer on a number of points. Diesel CRV hunting for gears? What are you talking about?
No worries! During my tests the transmission on the diesel variant was fine but wasn't really as surefooted as the one on the gas. 😊

How long honda will be producing the diesel engines in your country?

Per liter
Couldn't stop laughing @8:58 part. Hahahahaha what's your height po? For reference? 🤣
You can see my pain!!!!
#content 🤣
3rd row seats are good for shorter trips
There are only a few good car review channels in ph and this is one of them. Wow!
Thank you for the kind words!
@@ZigWheelsPhilippines straight to the point and detailed👌 You guys deserve more views
Ingay ng diesel, gas ftw
Edit: cvt suck
Diesel does have its drawbacks but I gotta give it the love it deserves when it comes to fuel economy!
@@RealRoyRobleswhat are the drawbacks sir? planning to buy crv but I dont know what is the right choice if diesel for fuel economy or gas since crv are known for cvt gas engines.
please help me sir. thank you
@@michaeljohnsalik2293do you have a decision na? Planning to buy din ng diesel S 1.6 lol. Dilemma ko lang is wait ko pa yung bago or ito na lang.
@@edwardwong1642 if planning to keep in the long run mas ok Siguro yung ngayon, kasi mas Manalo na maintenance pag Natalia na lifespan nung sa battery sa hybrid. ok na siguro ako sa ngayon, wait lang ako Humana price, and pag umabot na budget sir
For kids lang yung 3rd row. bad trip yung head room for diesel
Can you also please make a comparo for Honda HRV and Toyota Cross entry level? Thank you 😊🙏
What i dont like is the shifter...rotary is not to my liking
What camera do you use po?
I believe its a Sorny with a few Camon shots sprkinled in between :-D
I'll have to ask the guys what it is exactly! Heeh thanks for your comment!

this guy must be a 6 footer if he cant fit in the 3rd row.
Almost! I'm a chunky 5 foot 10 and a half :-) -Roy

No 1.5ltr turbo engine?
Crv dillasy
Gas for me
Thanks for this review ... one question though. Would I have a better experience going up to Baguio with a full load (5 passengers and bags) in a gas CRV or diesel?
You'll definitely enjoy the torque advantage (and maybe even the AWD) of the diesel when doing a fully loaded climb!
I own the top of the line AWD diesel variant. We went to Baguio for 3 days and 2 nights, went around the city everyday. We just used up half of the full tank when we arrived back to Manila.
No problem when overtaking. Just make sure to downshift early.
Crv nbz
been waiting for this. hows the diesel consumption ? or did i missed it ?

Go Green (hybrid).
Hopefully the CR-V will get a hybrid variant very soon!
@@RealRoyRobles hybrid. is. not green . not even ev.
solar. or hydrogen is green
wht do you recommend sir, diesel or gas variant?
While the diesel variant is more fuel efficient and quite torquey, I would still go for the gasoline variant of the CR-V for its smoothness and refinement. 😊

@@melvinrimorin7840 I've reviewed the Ertiga and I loved the no frills, no drama approach! Plus it looked amazing in our rolling shots ;-)
@@RealRoyRobles Yup. Love that review! I thought, "Finally, a review that gives this awesome car some justice." Thanks again! 😊
I won't buy a stinking 1.6 engine.
Stick to what you can afford that’s right.
