Honda Jazz 1.5 V Hatchback CVT (2015) vs Suzuki APV Type II SGX AT (2015)

Honda Jazz 1.5 V Hatchback CVT (2015) vs Suzuki APV Type II SGX AT (2015): which should you buy?

Both the 2015 Honda Jazz 1.5 V Hatchback CVT and the 2015 Suzuki APV Type II SGX AT are priced similarly, with the Jazz at ₱833,000 and the APV at ₱820,000, a difference of only ₱13,000. The Jazz delivers a clear performance edge, offering 120 PS and 145 Nm, compared to the APV’s 91 PS and 127 Nm, and it pairs that power with a smooth CVT rather than a 4‑speed automatic. For a city driver who values nimble handling, better acceleration, and a compact 3‑door hatchback footprint (3955 mm length), the Jazz is the stronger choice. Meanwhile, the APV’s larger 4230 mm body and 2+2+3 seating layout provide more passenger capacity, making it suitable for families or small groups needing extra rows, albeit with lower power and a less refined drivetrain. Both share the same warranty (100,000 km/3 years) and are discontinued, so after‑sales support may rely on dealer networks. In summary, pick the Honda Jazz if you prioritize power, fuel‑efficient CVT driving and urban practicality; choose the Suzuki APV if you need the most seats and a roomier interior for occasional cargo or passenger loads, accepting lower power and a basic 4‑speed automatic.
