Thank you. I remember posting questions about ADAS of Emzoom and you answering them in an FB group. Been enjoying the R-style for three months now including ADAS and the “kilig” still hasn’t subsided. As someone who used to fear driving, driving this is indeed fun. And part of the decision making was watching your videos.
I wanted to get the FT Titanium X but with a 1.6M price tag, might as well as get an Everest Trend. On the other hand, the FT Titanium variant feels underspec compared not only to its competitors but even to the previous FT model. I like the Jetour Dashing’s design but I’m not sure with the mechanical bits. So that leaves me with my two other choices: Enzoom R Style and Emkoo. I like the Emkoo’s space and front grille design but it lacks some of the safety tech that I want. I’m picking the Emzoom R Style for my first car. Thank you @jaywalkur for validating my choice!
Goddamn the compact crossover segment is the absolute battleground right now. Affordable, value for money, jampacked with features. For now the Kicks edges out thanks to its all electric drivetrain but after watching this video I'm not so sure haha.
I like how it's categorized! Enzoom looks great as an option. but Kicks is my preferred one because of its hybrid system and fuel economy. I would go for VL though.
The Emzoom clearly is the best bang for your buck car in the market. It's only negative, I noticed, is that the NVH is worse than some of it's competitors in the same price bracket.
It made me lean towards the emzoom r style. Thanks for the vid. Struck between the custin premium vs r style emzoom. Not same bracket. But considering the value for money. Damn. Emzoom you are hard to exclude in the the choices.
Ford really improved with their entry crossover. From cramp but techy Ecosport to spaceous and still techy Territory. Now they just need to hybridize to justify the TOTL price tag.
U shud add a category in your car analysis. That is pothole drive feel. Many developing countries have lots of potholes and how the drive absorb these potholes are important. That is why the land cruiser (Prado) is popular. It feels that it can handle potholes. Whereby other cars feel like they are falling apart. I drive a Toyota Rush and it feels like its falling apart but my brother's Prado feels so smooth that now I want to get a Prado. Cheers from the Caribbean.
The Prado is awesome, but it's also nowhere near Php 1.4M :) I'm assuming that's why even if there'd be a "pothole drive" category, the Prado wouldn't make this list... but again, the Prado is pretty awesome :)
I own a CT7P, and I love it. That said, it's a relatively older model na compared to most of the top models on this list. I suspect that's why. Still, I love the CT7's value for money and low cost of ownership :) TBH, though, if I'll buy a crossover NOW, it'd be the Emzoom :)
The Creta is nice but just not as feature-packed in terms of ADAS, safety, and interior features... and it's more expensive than both the CS55 Luxe and Emzoom R-Style. Again, the Creta is good, just not top-3 good compared to the elite in this price point.
salamat sa review na to.. sa halos lahat ng nakita kong kotse.. e2 talalga nag stand up sakin.. kaso worry ko lang sa stop ang go traffic kung hindi ba ma compromise ung DCT transmission nya,. although naka WET type nmn cya.
Oks lng yan sir.. mas delikado ang inclined stop and go.. so mqke sure nka autohold and leave some space infront b4 aandar pra mkgain ng speed.. there are tips to prolong the lifespan of DCTs sa youtube.. plus its a wet dct..🍻
Still the review doesn’t give me the confidence to buy in because of negative after sales feedback of Chinese cars. I hope the reviews will cover after sales service as well. Although i do not know how. Maybe a tour of the casa or assusrance that parts are readily available when the need arises. Thanks though for a good review.
agree! sana meron sila stock availability ang mga casa for most parts. di lng kung kelan lng may issue saka mag oorder as they claimed to have invested some millions for parts.

@@sageb1947 @@donnausigan7325 Bought a Chery T7P about a year ago and after-sales has been top notch -- honestly better than the ones I experienced with Honda and Toyota in my previous vehicles. Honest talaga yan. The caveat is I haven't had the need to replace any part yet, but when I needed to do so in my previous Toyota and Honda vehicles, I had to wait weeks (depends on the dealer, I guess). We had an Altis (bought 2008), and wala pang 10 months, we had to change one of the fuses agad :( Our Honda (bought 2015) was very reliable but we had to change the power window (passenger side) after a few years. Had to wait a few weeks before a replacement was delivered. Also had to wait the same amount of time when we had to replace the tailgate (nabangga ng tricycle). That said, the cost of ownership so far for me has been very inexpensive for our T7P since free ang periodic maintenance for 3 yrs. Great value + inexpensive cost of ownership = industry disruption.
It's still a good car. But the 100k difference is more than enough for the amount of additional features you get. For me the color I wanted wasn't available also. Im waiting 2 weeks for it to arrive . For something I'll have for years . Waiting a few weeks isn't much
toyota has no choice knowing how dukin poor Philippines is. it's not even complete with button features. I mean look at ford raptor with it's 4 cylinder bi turbo engine, suppose to be V6.
Well in general didn't gelly already proved that with the GCR ? It was the car that convinced me to give Chinese cars a chance. And low and behold when I researched car markets globally. Everyone is saying Chinese car not as unreliable as they used to be. Look at pp100 ranks Look at top global car distributer china is no.1 beating Japan Countries have opened up to Chinese cars. Uae Saudi Chile Brazil Uk Australia Most SEA countries Russia And those are just the ones I've cared to research
The only HRV trim that fits the parameters (under 1.4M) is the 1.5 S CVT, which is severely underpowered and underspecced when ranged against the top crossovers on this list.
the territory parts are from china as well and when you go into the fb groups super dami complaints and a ton of people are selling theirs on the market
sad to see China is ruling over Philippine car market. putting aside that there are other china markets that rule on Philippine as well, I feel like this would either be the downfall of Toyota or uprise ( because of privacy breach when you use android auto or apple car play ) because those Chinese cars would be stalking with those feature pack tech in their car. also don't buy ford territory
Its just pure hype, china cars here in ph more than 5 years na katiting parin bumibili, on actual sales figure they only have a 1% market share. You can google ph car sales monthly for reference.
@@nickbarnes5802 yes thats called a hybrid. it still uses an petrol engine to get power EV runs without the need of petrol engines to push it or power it
OK, so let's talk common sense. We don't know how well these vehicles from China are made. They could be totally unreliable. We just don't know. You're a fool if you buy them. If you want peace of mind, buy a Toyota or Honda. You will never regret it ten years from now and that's a fact.
Ok so let’s talk common sense, majority of the people who buy these vehicles already own another vehicle and wanna try something new. Try and ride as well as feel the driving dynamics between a toyota at the same price point vs the Emzoom and you’ll see why these things are selling like hotcakes. You’re saying doctors, lawyers, and other people who explore other brands are fools as well? 😂 Peace of mind and reliability in your context refers only to the availability of parts in the event your car needs parts replacement, NOT on the durability and build quality in the manufacture of the vehicle. You said so yourself, they could be totally unreliable, but that is only hypothetical. Unlike rebranded Daihatsu vehicles, you fanboys turn a blindside towards that news don’t you? Even after the safety scandal, which, mind you, IS a fact, are you still confident to put your family inside an Avanza or Veloz? Would you still buy your child a Wigo or a Raize?
Listen. Do whatever you want, but all the services that track the reliability of vehicles say Toyota and Honda are the best hands down in terms of reliability. If you have money to throw away, then great for you. I don't just as others don't. I have all kinds of stuff I buy from China. They're never of great or even good quality, but if you want to take a chance, I say, "Go for it, buddy."@@Falcon-tz8ow

Best exterior for me is the GAC Emkoo. Feels razor shap. Feels aggressive. Feels modern. But my overall choice is also Emzoom.
emkoo is like love at first sight for me, the the Emzoom is growing on me
Jay I bought Emzoom Rstyle because of your review. Nice to know that its the winner for 2023. Cheers and Merry Christmas
Merry christmas!!
Same here.
Now I am convinced , thank you for the review! I will go for GAC Emzoom R Style then! 🎉❤
A year ago Cs55 was introduce and still on top 3 best budget crossover this year. Cheers!
Good run down of the best Crossover this year 2023.
Let see what the 2024 motoring world will bring to the Philippines.
emzoom ftw! iba talaga ang GAC ngayon. sana tumagal ng more than 10 years before mag break ang mga parts.
Same . Planing to enjoy emzoom for 10. Years before switching to EV

downside of emzoom esp gac are its DCT's . its so jerky esp on the stop and go traffic unlike to the dcts of territory and coolray.
Just got approved for Emzoom R-Style. I'm excited to get my unit next week

Yes! GAC Emzoom R Style for me is the winner too. 😊

Our first car is GAC GS3 Enzoom RS.
Geely Coolray definitely a fun to drive.
The Emzoom clearly is the best bang for your buck car in the market. It's only negative, I noticed, is that the NVH is worse than some of it's competitors in the same price bracket.
Territory FTW!
Fantastic review sir jay! Objective and clear cut ang reasoning. Sana may GAC na rin dto samin sa Palawan.

agree, hybrid for territory might be the answer but should not cross over 1.8M for it to work

I think the Jetour Dashing should be #1 for exterior.
Thank you for this!
Wondering why the Chey Tiggo 7 Pro was not included in this review.
I own a CT7P, and I love it. That said, it's a relatively older model na compared to most of the top models on this list. I suspect that's why. Still, I love the CT7's value for money and low cost of ownership :)

So which one to buy?

Nice review! How about best sedan of 2023?
I got the mid option because the r style was out of stock, did i miss out on a lot when it comes to excitment in driving?😢
It's still a good car.
But the 100k difference is more than enough for the amount of additional features you get.
For me the color I wanted wasn't available also. Im waiting 2 weeks for it to arrive .
For something I'll have for years . Waiting a few weeks isn't much
emzoom wew!
Hrv s has the most consistent/dependable ADAS
i own hrv but it doesn't work on skyway 3... because of the speedlimit.
Another excellent review from the best guy in the business. More power to you man.
Thank you
I agreeee
how abou fuel economy?
why cs35 isnt one of the choices? 😅
maybe it's not just placing as top 3 best in categories but it's not also as bad as others haha. baka balanced lng ganun like for GS4.
Yaris cross v or territory 😉

emkoo or cs55?
