Isuzu Crosswind Sportivo MT Dsl (2015) vs Nissan NV350 Urvan Cargo (2015): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer deciding between the Isuzu Crosswind Sportivo MT Dsl (2015) and the Nissan NV350 Urvan Cargo (2015), the choice hinges on intended use. The Crosswind Sportivo is a 7-seater AUV priced at ₱1,150,000, ideal for family or passenger transport. It has a 2.5L turbo diesel engine producing 85 PS and 185 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual and RWD. Its body-on-frame construction offers durability for rough roads. However, its power is modest. The NV350 Urvan Cargo, at ₱1,158,000, is a 3-seater van with a more powerful 2.5L variable turbo diesel (129 PS, 356 Nm) and a dash-mounted 5-speed manual. It offers significantly more torque and power, plus a larger cargo area (5080mm length, 2285mm height). But it seats only 3, making it unsuitable for passengers. The Urvan is discontinued, so availability may be limited. For a family hauler or daily commuter needing seats, choose the Crosswind. For heavy cargo or commercial use where power and space matter, the Urvan is better. The Crosswind is cheaper and still available, while the Urvan offers superior performance but is discontinued.
