Fuel Efficiency Test (80 km Route)
📌 The fuel efficiency test covered approximately 78–80 km on a mixed route (mostly highway/toll roads).
⛽ Suzuki XL7 achieved the best efficiency at 18.7 km/L (or 4.17 liters consumed).
📉 Toyota Avanza (or similar) came in second, achieving 18.5 km/L (4.29 liters consumed).
⚖️ Honda BR-V performed the lowest at approximately 18.3 km/L (4.37 liters consumed), despite featuring modern CVT and Auto Start-Stop technology.

Hill Climb Performance (500 kg Load)
⛰️ The vehicles were tested climbing a steep slope with an added load exceeding 500 kg (including passengers and parts).
🟢 Honda BR-V successfully managed the climb, attributing its performance to a large engine and effective CVT.
🟠 Mitsubishi Xpander Cross struggled initially but managed to complete the climb, noting some wheel spin and needing more effort.
🔵 Suzuki XL7 performed strongly, demonstrating excellent power delivery without significant strain or delay, suggesting efficient gearing for the climb.

Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) Test
🔊 The interior noise level was measured with the AC set to level 1 for all passengers.
📊 Mitsubishi Xpander Cross was the loudest at 77.5 dB.
🔈 Suzuki XL7 measured 68.4 dB, making it quieter than the Xpander.
🤫 Honda BR-V recorded the lowest noise level at 59.0 dB, suggesting superior cabin insulation despite some reports of a harsher ride quality.

Cabin Space and Comfort Assessment
🦵 The second-row legroom was tested with occupants averaging 177 cm to 180 cm in height.
👎 The Honda BR-V felt the most cramped in the third row, with knees touching the seat in front, confirming that newer models feel smaller internally.
↔️ The Suzuki XL7 offered the most flexible third-row space, allowing passengers to sit relatively comfortably when the second row was adjusted forward moderately.
🪑 The Mitsubishi Xpander Cross offered decent legroom but was ranked behind the XL7 in overall comfort for the third row by the reviewers.

Features and Pricing Comparison (Top Variants)
⭐ The Honda BR-V Prestige (IDR 342.9 million) was highlighted for its extensive safety suite, including Honda Sensing (Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist), and superior interior quality (synthetic/real leather mix).
🎁 The Suzuki XL7 Alpha (IDR 273.15 million) was praised for unique family-oriented features like a rear-view mirror camera display (like Alphard) and a ventilated cup holder/cooler.
💰 The Mitsubishi Xpander Cross (IDR 320.5 million) was considered potentially overpriced compared to the feature set, although its suspension was deemed the most comfortable.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ For fuel efficiency, the Suzuki XL7 surprisingly outperformed newer CVT rivals like the BR-V, achieving 18.7 km/L.
➡️ The Honda BR-V offers the best safety features (Honda Sensing) and the quietest cabin (59.0 dB), but its high price point (IDR 342.9M) and tighter cabin space are major drawbacks.
➡️ The XL7 provides strong all-around performance, excelling in the hill climb test and offering practical, unique features like a cooler box and excellent cargo visibility.
➡️ When testing third-row comfort, the Suzuki XL7 appeared to offer superior legroom compared to the newly designed Honda BR-V.
