Your reviews on the Azkarra are one of the main reasons why I got one, and glad I did before the latest price increase. No regrets!! thanks again Kyle!👌
Kyle, please review another compact crossover but priced like a subcompact (GAC GS4, P1.098 M). A lot more affordable than the HS and Azkarra, admittedly w less features, but a lot of positive reviews in terms of build quality and driving dynamics. Thanks!
With the massive price hike of Geely, idk if they still have the advantage they had a couple of years ago. And their lineup doesn't have ADAS, they aren't the safest/techy anymore.
@@KyleLiongCars agree. But on the safety and tech part, they should really start giving their clients the adas feature. Like in the coolray SE, you can see the abang for radar. I think it would be great also if they can offer an upgrade once the adas system become available to geely cars.
ATM, it's 1.8M but can get it for 1.5M with the 300k discount. Hesitant to purchase now baka may lumabas na upgrade or a facelift version anytime soon. Sayang eh.

Geely Azkarra is a much better choice if you don't consider the price (but damnnn, 1.8m?). But they do need to update their exterior because it already looks like a 5-year-old car from Geely.
Id go with the azkarra, it has the best handling and transmission performance. MG has a jerky transmission. Driving an azkarra is like driving a japanese car. It does not feel chinese.
for the price range way too far..as for the jerkiness it is more on how you control the accelarator..to coup up with the traffic..being a hybrid is a ++ no doubt..for price range imo i would go with Ford ranger 2022 :)

Not when you're in the shit-road Philippines! The market speaks for itself that's why Lotus, Aston, Lambo, Polestar, Ferraris etc are building SUVs. Idk what posh "auto community" you hailed from but certainly not on this planet lol.
@@ecproth9296 What does SUVs offer better than sedans or mpvs when it comes to our supposed "shit roads"? All cars have suspension adequate enough to work on our mediocre roads
@@SadBheeseChurger If you happen to cross on "rural" type of roads then you will definitely wish for SUVs. Lots of unmaintained roads having deep potholes caused by shrinking of the soil beneath it, uneven asphalt caused by water always sitting on top of the road for a long time, floods caused by unmaintained drainage systems, slippery roads because of muds(also caused by poor drainage systems), cracked roads, incredibly steep roads(just like here in my place since we are just beside a mountain), unpaved roads with only gravel and some stones. Theres a reason why SUVs are so popular here in PH. Sedans would definitely bottom out on these "potholes" and unpaved roads unless if you drive like 15-20kph. MPVs usually don't have enough power to carry 7 people on steep climbs.

Thanks too!! :)
how's the car now? no issues so far?
@@erwinlaylo2848 yup, no issues so far :)
Agree with your choice.
I am anticipating a face lift for the Azkara that may make it a compelling choice.
I doubt they’ll facelift it soon. Azkarra L seems to be marketed as a diff car
Kyle, please review another compact crossover but priced like a subcompact (GAC GS4, P1.098 M).
A lot more affordable than the HS and Azkarra, admittedly w less features, but a lot of positive reviews in terms of build quality and driving dynamics. Thanks!

I've been waiting for this comparo. Thank you so much!
My pleasure!
With the massive price hike of Geely, idk if they still have the advantage they had a couple of years ago. And their lineup doesn't have ADAS, they aren't the safest/techy anymore.
Do other brands have price increases as well like those Major brands? Geely saying huge increase was due to current FOREX situation
@@quannar they also increase of course, but usually not more than 6 digits at a time.
I think it was a tax bracket issue :(
@@KyleLiongCars agree. But on the safety and tech part, they should really start giving their clients the adas feature. Like in the coolray SE, you can see the abang for radar. I think it would be great also if they can offer an upgrade once the adas system become available to geely cars.
Thanks for the comparo Kyle!
Would like to ask why no one (locally) has ever reviewed the Subaru WRX wagon yet? Been wanting local car reviews for it
No demo units yet
Look at the difference on the Sunroof Cover!
Still waiting for you to do a review on Chery tiggo 8 pro Kyle. Very nice review on everything.
Thanks! Editing na :)
Can you do a review of 2022 Toyota Corolla Altis GRS or its other variants? Or the 2022 Mazda 3 Sportback?
Trying to get a hold of demo units for those :)
Nice comparo Kyle! I hope you can review GACs GS4. 😃
Still trying to contact GAC :D
The price of the Azkarra is at the 1.7M+ price range as of Sept 2022
Yep!

Where buy spare parts online
I think some FB groups are selling parts
If MG can improve their transmission ok sana mga units nila.
Would be much better sana
also sir the panoramic sun roof of MG to much thin.. compaire to geely.. the heat of the sun definitely will come in, inside the car
Hmmm I didn’t really notice that naman
Dati ung geely coolray ganun rn ung panoramic sunroof nila dami ng reklamu... Pinalitan na nila ng makapal na

Agree. The exterior is showing its age
ito yung dalawang unit na pinag pilian ko 🤣 Azkarra ftw!
Yep! Although more expensive nga lang :(
@@KyleLiongCars i got it before the price increase that started around august 😃
@@naktete Congrats!!!
@@KyleLiongCars thanks ! 😃
Id go with the azkarra, it has the best handling and transmission performance. MG has a jerky transmission. Driving an azkarra is like driving a japanese car. It does not feel chinese.
Agree! Although no. Driving an Azkarra feels like a European car. It’s the MG that feels more plasticky and Japanese
for the price range way too far..as for the jerkiness it is more on how you control the accelarator..to coup up with the traffic..being a hybrid is a ++ no doubt..for price range imo i would go with Ford ranger 2022 :)
Actually no. I've tried modulating the accelerator to no avail.
Pick my Azkarra up next week. Hybrid 190bhp, 4wd, 7 Dct and the interior is astonishing for the price. The only thing is the poor colour choice.
Interior color? I love the brown haha
@@KyleLiongCars no I mean exterior colours …I like the brown too !
There’s apparently a new grey available for the exterior

Still waiting for lendout units
hands down geely azkarra wins,
MG HST feels like a toy and performs like one too. aside from the emgrand all other geely offering are the best bang for the buck in its segment. the quality, the feel, man you cant go wrong with azkarra.
points:
Azkarra has a thicker sunroof, the MG sunroofs are mesh which is meh,
Physical button control for AC and etc, you'll regret buying a car without one when youre stuck fumbling for it in MG's clunky software
Android Based HU, most cars claim they're better bcoz they have "android auto" and "carplay" but they're wired, so in the same sense geely have wired mirroring which achieves the same thing and does the same thing (big plus is the ability to jailbreak it, which unlocks a ton of features, i will pick android based HU that doesnt have AA/Carplay all day)
NVH, geely is probably one of the best cars brand that uses inline 3 englines, its really smooth and zero vibrations on idle
Interior quality is top notch, quite similar to mazda's
Gotta agree with most of your points. I do love the Emgrand though. More so than the Oka and Coolray in the Geely lineup. Also, I wished the Azkarra had ACP and AA.

Agree with you on that. BTW though, the Territory has wireless Apple CarPlay built in.
Is it raining? Haha🎹🎶
Nope
@@KyleLiongCars ok thanks. I thought I heard rain in the intro🎹🎶
1st..
Yay!
Sounds like autodeal
I'll take that as a compliment haha
AWD... Mg does'nt stand a chance..
Not that applicable here in the PH tho
@@KyleLiongCars you're right.. I somehow thought awd with 4x4.. Lol.
@@KyleLiongCars question.. Does the azkarra have frontwheel only drive mode?
Yes. It’s FWD most of the time and only goes AWD when needed
@@KyleLiongCars tnx for the info bro, really enjoy watching your reviews..
