It looks like it still retains a ladder chassis – so 19th century  ????

OP, well you quoted a link to the add. Do you have any opinion about the marketing or the vehicle itself? 
 

In the past I had a V-Cross, quite a soft ride compared to other pickup offers.

Now compare like with like- Honda CRV - with less crude chassis and suspension . What’s your take then?.. perhaps include a view on ride comfort,handling and crumple zones .

Why can you not answer a simple question.

Expand  

OK, I will keep it simple for you, the HRV is a smaller cross over ride, where as the others are full size SUV's..

But I think you know that, you Techno rascal you........????

I'm impressed must have more sensors than a spaceship.

Looks like they have upgraded the SUV game, no mention of cost.

I have a Isuzu 1.9 truck it's OK so I'll keep it.

The top model 3.0 costs a little less then 1.6 milj baht

Never mind chassis comparisons a CRV not a SUV .

Did you study the new suspension lay-out in the video obviously not.

Top spec Fortuner is a bit more than 1.8 MB, so I guess quite a few will be tempted by the new MU-X.

 

But, will it be a Fortuner killer? Absolutely not. Toyota is king here, no matter what one's opinion of the Fortuner may be.

Is the HRV in the same class as MUX/Everest/Fortuner ?

Expand  

No. None of the PPV's with a ladder frame ride comfortably. The pick of them would be the everest and nissan terra for ride comfort. My wife had a driver who used a mu-x. Horribe ride comfort on bad roads - and that was after the suspension was modified to make ot more comfortable. I rode in the back of it from Chonburi to BKK. Not nice. Now she uses the toyota majesty.

No wrong, the Everest is king for what you can get here, below 2 mill.

 

In the end, they are just glorified pick-up trucks with lip stick, ha-ha

More sensors means more troubles in the future... too much tech.
