Vezel 1,5 X $108k<

Qashqai 1.2 Turbo 114k<

ASX 2.0 $111k<

 

Looks like the ASX a better deal? What's your chioce?

 

If you don't like buying from PI, then only left with Qasqhai, ASX and XV.

 

ASX 2.0L so you have to contend with higher road tax and fuel consumption.

 

Qasqhai 1.2, some say underpowered and some units are quality CMI.

 

If you consider XV, made in Japan and so far, owners of XV quite happy.. unless you're not a Subaru fan.

Add in XV 1.5 $116k

 

XV is 1.6 at $111,800

I chose XV among the whole list because of following reasons:

- Made in Japan

- Sold by AD

- Out in market long enough so that should not have any more teething problems (e.g. Vezel is quite new; have had a recall for its Hybrid version; its cousin Jazz/Fit 1.5 using same/similar eninge also had recent recall; similarly for QQ 1.2T which has recent problems in Singapore)

- Boxer engine and full-time All Wheel drive for good driving experience (cheap way to get Audi Quattro type of driving experience) e.g. good cornerinng, good wet weather driving, good rally-like driving expereince for gravel/track roads

- close to real SUV in terms of AWD and high ground clearance (good for soft-roading but not for rock climbing) - good enough for kampong roads, mud and sand

- High safety rating

 

At the time I was looking, ASX Cat B COE not that low yet.  So not sure how it compares (probably meets quite a few of above criteria also) but higher tax and other costs of 2.0L in ASX vs 1.6L in XV.

These are not SUVs, they are more like crossovers...except for the ASX.
