Those never came turbo charged lmaooagent007 wrote:Aight fellas...explain this one for me cause I'm confused. As far as I know, the current T32 Xtrail imported by Massy since Q4 2014-present came with the MR20DD 2.0 naturally aspirated engine just like in the Qashqai. Is it that they have returned to getting the QR25DE 2.5 unit like they did with the previous T31 model? Now I seeing that they advertising 2.0 turbo at the same time.
See supporting sales rep postings below:
These sales reps could real lie and misrepresent by false hyping what they sell. There is a female sales rep up in Morvant who is known for that.

That is interesting seeing as they are both built on the same vehicle platform.nick639v2 wrote:I copped my forester couple days ago. Got some time today to thoroughly enjoy it and I must say that vehicle is punching way above its class in comfort and drivability.. Entirely different feel from the XV, not taking away anything from the XV, still a great car but the forester takes it up more than just a couple notches!!
Edit: Should have a direct competitor (Crv awd) in the pumpkin vine soon so that I can update on where they trade blows

Waaaayyyy too expensive, also I don't understand how all of a sudden people NEED 7 seaters, my family survived on a ck2 lancer annnddd it used to carry the 4 of us to the beach with the trunk packed, no brakes when you reach maracas, but still we made itagent007 wrote:The 2022 7-seater Honda BRV 1.5 SOHC i-VTEC CVT 2wd fully loaded is almost here priced at $289k.
It has the typical full compliment of power features, 7" touch screen display with 6 speakers, push button start, leather seats, 16" rims, dual airbags, front disc/rear drum brakes, rear ac, torsion beam rear suspension, traction/stability control, projector halogen lights, fog lights, roof rack & paddle shifters etc.
This is going to be a tough sell as the Rush, Xpander Cross and XL-7 are cheaper...especially the zuki and it more or less have the same features like those. Maybe it will sell cause it's a Honda which makes it an entry level premium 7 seater luxury "SUV".
Saw a staria on the road, looks alot smaller and cheaper looking in real life, but I like it, it has presence, it's also alot lower looking in real life, def can't go talparo with it.agent007 wrote:Many men in T&T have 2 families now.

When them going on road trips whether to the beach or to the malls or just visiting family and friends, he will need to choose 1 of his children's mothers, the entire battalion of kids, perhaps a mother in law and have space for infant seats etc. So yeah, expect to see more of these fake 7 seater options.
Frankly given our oppressive tax regime, I won't expect better alternatives to pop up anytime soon eg.
Mazda CX-9, Toyota Kluger or Kia Carnival. The new 2022 Nissan Pathfinder 3.5 is a special order unit only which has recently only now been available for RHD configuration. Expect 800k minimum for those.
Goodluck trying to fit an infant seat in the supposed 3rd rows of the Rush, XL7, Xpander and BRV though.
The Hyundai Staria though....

I agree, I guess even at full capacity that 1.5 engine would still move but how would it perform at capacity on a hilly road?
agent007 wrote:Actually the website indicates 88kW or 118hp and 145Nm peak torque. It’s a SOHC profile so it’s most probably the L15A since the L15B is DOHC. They mentioned PGM-FI and not EarthDreams DI which is not a bad thing.
Btw, I haven’t seen you in quite some time. Welcome back…

Thing with the above is that those cars are small and light, and only hold max 5 people in a pinch, if you have a bigger vehicle which weighs more and uses the same engine and can hold more people imo I think it might be an issue in the long run.
agent007 wrote:I suspect the gross vehicle weight (GVW) which is the weight of the car plus a full tank of fuel and all its passengers would be higher in the BRV vs the B15 example.
I would expect that Honda would have taken this weight into consideration for the engine (in terms of optimizing the hp and torque curve) as well as transmission gearing and overall throttle/fuel mapping etc.
However where physics is concerned, I'm afraid the question of the BRV's capability at such steepish ascents can come into question, especially with Paramin.
Heat obliterates a transmission so it would be nice to test drive a BRV vs a City at full capacity and compare transmission temperatures with a heat gun.
This is the kind of info that is never discussed in a showroom nor would any sales rep wish to disclose. These are the kind of discussions that people should be engaged in before the purchase of a vehicle.
Well done gentlemen.
BTW I totally agree, the 3rd row in a Santa Fe / Sorento is pathetic for adults. Those are like jumper seats for kids.
