The sensible choice at Rs 24.52 lakh for the top end model, the CR-V is a great car for holidaying and can carry five people and their belongings comfortably for a weekend jaunt to just about anywhere, including going off the beaten track. The excellent ride quality and smooth refined engine just add to the comfort factor for both passengers and driver. It’s a classy ride too with attractive styling and road presence. You will go the Honda way because you are a sensible bloke who does like a bit of adventure but still love the comforts of your modern lifestyle.
The one you want to own, the B-Class costs Rs 26.09 lakh and has a much more sporty character to it. It’s a pleasure to drive and will definitely appeal to the enthusiast who not only looks to have fun at the adventure destination but on the drive there as well. It will pamper four passengers with luxury and five without complaint but will strictly like to stay on tarmac. It will turn a lot of heads in town too with the three pointed star garnering more eyeballs than the Honda could ever hope for. You will also tell yourself that the better mileage is a great reason to buy it, but you really just want to own a three pointed star.
When you throw an SUV and a grown-up hatch into a comparison you tend to focus more on which package has the better mix of variables, rather than which is a better SUV/grown-up hatch. The B-Class was never going to beat the CR-V in space and the CR-V was never going to out-handle a car designed with a hint of sportiness in mind. What is great is that they are both just Rs 1.57 lakh apart in price and that gives you the ability to choose which one you want. In the end it all boils down to whether you buy the one you fancy or the one that appeals to your sensibilities. Personally I find my self falling for the twinkle of that three pointed star.
