The all-new Subaru XV, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 are three of the top crossovers in the Philippines
By using the word "all-new", we would like to emphasize all the improvements that the aforementioned models receive in their latest generation, which have helped them outperform their predecessors. In detail, the XV is made with the all-new international platform of Subaru. The Honda CR-V is now equipped with a turbo-diesel engine and also has a 7-seat variant. And the last one - the CX-5 has been applied G-Vectoring technology.
