In terms of driving experience, I would go for BR-V, just that need to do improve with aftermarket sound insulation, and perhaps small modification to the rear absorber rate. For family oriented driver just to go A to B, either one is good.
BRV lose totally when its come with 2AIRBAGS AS ITS A 7SEATER FAMILY CAR If I have to choose between both I'll choose Aruz, Safety is more important than anything when its comes to family
The BRV looks good on the outside but on closer inspection, you’ll find lack of cabin sound insulation, thin rubber door seals, interior plastic panels that do not reach all the way to the carpet with finger wide gaps, dashboard rattle, 2nd row seat rattle, an infotainment system that without plugins is only good for radio and reverse camera display, a tool storage area which doesn’t allow easy access to/storage for the carjack, and driver seat floor mat that’s practically impossible to hook up to the floor studs! Don’t be dazzled by looks, look out for quality and design flaws.
Same here, currently use one. My aim just fit somehow comfortably adult seating in the third row seat. Ingress and Egress for BRV are quite good especially for old folks.
@@unboxbybil mine already 6 years. Practical & quite reliable. Issues that i have experience : 1. Drive shaft left and right need to check, most of the model driveshaft not quite reliable due to vendor issues. Just check first before you buy to see whether previous owner have change it or not. Solution by replace with new one. 2. Rain drainage at roof rails (focus to driver and passenger). This issue appear when heavy rain where water flow into cabin by time you open the door to go in. Solution you can find at BRV group where they cut some hole at the rail mounting area so that water can flow straight to front windscreen instead of go into the cabin. 3. Air-conditioning system are not that cold. Take times to drop temperature inside whole cabin. Solution maybe need to do flushing (not yet execute). 4. Boot strut damper not functional. Solution by replace new one. 5. 2nd row seat stuck unable to fold. Solution at youtube where you need to open the fold mechanism beside the stuck seat and adjust the bracket. Solution by repair it DIY 6. CVT gearbox have some jerking issue at early rpm. I'm just let this pass as i using it carefully since it is cvt. So far okay just checking & change the cvt oil (if required). Other than that, all is fine & good.
Im from Indonesia, and last week i bought this 2020 BRV prestige, i hope, i didn't made wrong decision, lol, due now we have several options in the market like rush, xpander and XL7
I just bought Toyota Rush which I think is quite similar to Aruz. For me, it depends on the individual itself. If you prefer performance, practicality and superb driving experience, then go for BRV. If you prefer safety, then go for Aruz 😊
Saw an article on wapcar website. Most of Malaysian auto journalist claiming that Aruz is ladder-frame based vehicle. It is not, similar to Avanza which is too not a ladder frame vehicle. If you want to really understand, go and compare the underbody of Aruz and also Hilux.
man u just spoke about the positives of the aruz against the negative of the brv. the good thing in the aruz is the safety that's all. The one thing in the brv which destroys the aruz completely is that 120hp and the sixth gear. Aruz 120km/h 5th gear rpm 3600. Brv 120km/h 6th gear rpm 2200. now make up the difference.
Aruz is very close to be a complete no-brainer if it's not for the lack of power compared to BR-V. 18 hp difference is quite a lot if u ask me ... Nevertheless, Aruz is what most Malaysian should get if they're looking for affordable 7 seater car but if no need for the extra 2 seats, highly recommended to wait for the new Perodua compact SUV (5 seater) or Proton X50 ...
I prefer BRV instead of aruz. Car seats of the aruz arw too short. Not suitable for long journey driving. Besides the aruz powertrain is really bad. Underpower when trying to pass through a car. Brv is more comfortable than aruz.
I'm not too sure about CVT , instead Aruz could use a 5/6 speed AT like the Triton, DMax or BT-50. Basically if the Aruz's intended purpose/function follows loosely like these pickups, I bet the 6 speed will take a beating better than the CVT due to the torque & load it may exert. There will be more gear ratios to allow O/D on the highway . Then again, it may drive up the cost more from R&D; it is something Perodua may need to consider which to trade off because 4AT for this car is very ill-suited for refinement; you cannot tune the gear ratios much when you only have 102hp, slightly lesser than a 1.5L Myvi even.
@@WapCar How come your fuel consumption figures are different from paultan.org? They claimed that brv actually consumes less fuel in their review (aruz, brv, Toyota sienta)?
@@HotRod16 i bought it when 2years ago and for me this car is amazinggg first idon't feel any problem till now and for the (suv) it so fun to drive idk maybe it has low slung body and large dimension then the competitor and for the interior when compared to aruz brv really far more relieved and the 3rd row seat can use for adults to
@@idawan09 sure,So first when i tried it I was surprised because it was an SUV but when I sat down I didn't feel like riding a SUV but like driving a sedan! then I try to drive it and I'm quite suprise it would be great if you have even driven jazz it feels the same! When it talk to performance brv has a great respon bcause 120hp it really amazing but the minus maybe only a road noise it still can still be heard
@@calista23395 i agree. The driving aspect (I mean the power) is good to keep driving a bit cheerful, even with 7 adult in it will still be acceptable. So agree on the noise intrusion. Comes from tires. I believe Honda have to make it at cost so a bit compensate otherwise it will be such attractive price. Give and take. So have to enhance them with aftermarket insulations.
My dad got a BR-V and I don’t like it. Everything about it feels so cheap and under-engineered. Packaging is lousy if you’re carrying adults in the second row, and it lacks so many features you’d find in much cheaper cars. You don’t even get a light for the gear shifter! Build quality is pretty awful as well - the doors don’t seal well at all, and there’s always a loud bang from the roof if you start driving in warm/cooler weather. Only good things I can say about it is that it drives normal.
The End is just around the corner! Time is almost up for humankind! Go ahead and buy everything you want before the clock is stopped! Everything is going to fall apart,at least you’ll die in the spacious car instead of cramped sedan! But buy buy!!! Moratorium will be extended for the next 6 months! Imagine driving a big car for free for the next 12 months before god calls it’s a day! No more 2nd year,no more monthly installment.Just drive,die and wake up queuing for The Judgement Day!

I rented brv during my trip to Indonesia recently, surprisingly it was spacious and fit 6 adults and 2 kids comfortably
I rented BR-V to Genting as well as a family trip of 3 adult and 2 kids. It was adequate power, not feeling strained. Just a bit noisy.
I believed brv is more proper mpv, aruz is more like a middle between suv and mpv..aruz 3rd row sucks
Yeap, the BR-V is indeed more spacious 😃
I’m amazed at your presentation more than the two cars. Very smooth, precise and informative.
Appreciate it!

Agree with you on the suspension settings, otherwise it's a decent family car 😃
BRV lose totally when its come with 2AIRBAGS AS ITS A 7SEATER FAMILY CAR
If I have to choose between both I'll choose Aruz, Safety is more important than anything when its comes to family
That's a major concern too for many

what about the aircond at 3rd row?

Great review as always!
I think brv the best compare aruz. Brv kondusif n stabil. Aruz not stabil because the platform high
So long have been waiting for this
Hope you enjoy the video!

Honda BRV so much better driving experience than Aruz!
That's true, but we wish the suspension can be more robust 😃
Great comparison.. helps a lot. Would you know the water wading depth for both? Given constant rains / floods in KL
Both have Japanese blood in them but only 1 have 2 different version and brand in 1 car. Thats Aruz and Rush. Both ways its a win win situation
Japanese roots, made in Malaysia 😃
@@WapCaras long it works it works
best handling aruz. more comfort. 😍
I pray Proton will bring in the Jiaji soon to give Malaysians a better 7-seater option
