I'm glad that you mentioned that its Honda Sensing feature is quite limited, especially the absence of low speed follow. So the Adaptive Cruise Control is useless in city traffic. Other reviewers fail to mention this fact. For me, it's a dealbreaker
@jagurpw while it's true, it's the only car with ACC on its category. So if you need one there's really no other choice but to look somewhere else. I owned the mid variant and highly recommend it over the vx
I own a BRV of the same variant. I would say its worth it but you have to consider the price premium as not everyone can handle the price. Engine is good in going up the mountains even when loaded with 7 adults and bags. Fuel economy you can expect 9-10km/l on standstill edsa traffic while 11-12km/l on normal city driving up to 40kph. Highway u can expect 19-22km/l depending on how throttle happy you are. Baggage space when third row is up is very small so do keep it in mind. And you can put up the rear cargo tray in level with the folded 3rd row seats so its flat. Honda sensing saved me a few times from crashes but do keep in mind that its pretty limited especially in traffic since it doesnt have low speed follow. Nvh too can be a dealbreaker for some as it can get quite noisy especially with those open pipe motorcycles.
Yes Hondas are priced above Toyotas but it's because of quality (more powerful engines, superior build quality like plastics in interior), better/ sportier styling (others are boring ex. Ertiga) etc. If you want the cheapest car get a China or Toyota. But if you want the perfect package: powerfulengine (they supply engines to F1 teams), sportier styling, higher quality interiors, fuel efficiency, high resale value, then get a Honda!
Got my BRV VX last year... Power = it is legit (Im from Rizal... climbing everyday on those zigzag mountains is not a problem)... Price = its not for everyone (but again... youre driving a "Honda", not just any brand which I dont want to mention lol)...
Hi Kyle, I understand that these two cars are a little different when it comes to segment or class but I will ask anyway. 😁 For you, which one would you choose, this or the Geely Okavango? Please include in the consideration the entire ownership experience(parts availability, aftersales service, durability, etc.) Thank you!
Choosing between Brv VX vs Hyundai Stargazer X? Who's the best? Who's better? Who's more Safety and Security Features?at sino mas madaling hanapin Ang pyesa after 10yrs?
@@KyleLiongCars awesome but I just don't like how the stargazer looks. I know that it looks amazing to some but I not my cup of tea. Next best thing after Stargazer perhaps?
"...just like all of its other Honda siblings.". That made me think for a moment. Anyway , did you observe any rattling or creaking sounds from the interior ? Can you also do a review of the mid spec Seltos ?

As an owner of the brv for 5 months, i dont have any rattles or creaking sounds from the interior. Tho expect to hear some rattles if u gonna blast the speakers past half bar of volume. Other than that nothing that i can hear.
Ok ang honda experience per engine performance, though km/li is not as economical as promised and goes worst later. In terms of physical durability e g. Paint quality ( peels and becomes loose easily) Lower arm assembly, head lights, my brv experience is very bad. In less than 2 years with minimal use, these items were found suddenly defective already, although not sure if the casa did something wrong bec sadly honda gh doesn't care a bit, that's another thing. Just sharing real life experience for those trying to try honda in spite of their marketing ploys.
This is sad to hear. Pangarap ko pa naman mag BRV and ito ni rerecommend ko sa sister ko. I like the design of the new BRV but not a fan of the thin body noong tinignan namin sa casa, kasama sa gateway showroom dun eh Geely Oka na yung quality is way above pero price naman is more expensive din. Baka ayun kunin nina ate. Gusto ko lang sana Honda naman kasi naka Geely na ako, gaya gaya tong kapatid ko ng brand 😅
This is true too to any other brand, ma pa ford man, honda or yung Geely, no unit is the exact the same as the other and randomly one would get a "lemon" unit... kaya one's bad experience should not define the whole brand agad2x.
It is legally classified by LTO as a sub-compact SUV. You may say SUV is subjective, but cannot deny that is its official classification. It has the most powerful engine in its class (vs Avanza, Xpander, Ertiga, even Rush) has high torque so good for uphill climbs, better interior like plastics, superior build quality, decent ground clearance (higher than Ertiga, Avanza), and still has good fuel efficiency (23km/L highway). So that justifies its higher price tag
In our LTO registration certificate of our BR-V VX, it is registered as "S-CUV" which probably stands for Sports Crossover Utility Vehicle. Essentially, it is a crossover of SUV and MPV, just like the likes of the Xpander Cross.
Ung rubber band feeling ay oa na masyado...halos lahat ngayon ay cvt na. Mahalaga natakbo at kaya humatak at umakyat ng baguio. Kung nabibitin ka pa eh...go for mid size suv na puro nka traditional AT. Iyak ka lng gas hehe

It is a clean, timeless design. After 10 years it will still look good. You buy a car primarily for its reliable engine, good styling, good build quality, and efficiency - which the BRV has. Your China car with sunroof, big touch screen, and useless eye-candy features will be worth nothing if after 5 years it breaks down, or has no spare parts. And when you sell it, you only get less than half what you paid for it because it is junk. Japanese cars you can get 50% or more even for Honda after 10 years ;)
