Isuzu Crosswind XTI MT Dsl (2015) vs Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLS CVT (2025)

Isuzu Crosswind XTI MT Dsl (2015) vs Mitsubishi Mirage G4 GLS CVT (2025): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer, the choice between the Isuzu Crosswind XTI (2015) and the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 (2025) hinges on purpose and practicality. The Crosswind, at ₱945,000, is a discontinued body-on-frame AUV with a diesel engine (85 PS, 185 Nm) and 7 seats, ideal for large families, cargo, or rough roads. Its torque at low rpm suits heavy loads or off-road conditions. However, it's a manual, older model with no modern tech or safety features assumed. The Mirage G4, at ₱937,000 (₱8,000 cheaper), is a current unibody sedan with a gasoline engine (78 PS, 100 Nm) and CVT. It's better for daily commuting in city traffic due to lighter weight, automatic-like transmission, and better fuel economy (not specified but typical of small gas engines). It seats only 5, limiting passenger capacity. If you need maximum passenger capacity, diesel torque, and ruggedness (e.g., for provincial trips or business), pick the Crosswind. If you prioritize a modern, efficient, and easier-to-drive car for daily urban use, choose the Mirage G4. The Crosswind is discontinued, so finding a used unit in good condition is key. The Mirage is brand-new with warranty. Overall, the Mirage offers better value for most daily drivers, while the Crosswind remains a workhorse for specific needs.
