apart from the price (and relatively small size), i wonder why this crossover is quite rare on the roads... i think this is a very good car but i wonder why pinoys are not digging it much.

planning on our next car and currently looking at CX30 Hybrid or Corolla Cross GRS... hybrid crossover is what we are looking at now...

Majority of the reason is the price, second is the segment it is competing with.

For the same price (1.9-2.0M), much better to get SUVs, 7 seater + diesel are the main advantages.
For its segment specially for a 5 seater crossover category, there are less than 1.5M out there that will still cater the needs of most pinoys.
Why not spend 1.9m if you can buy cheaper and OK car on 1.5M or below.
Reason why Yaris Cross is flooding the streets right now.

Another impossible scenario: If majority of pinoys are RICH.
Possible they will embrace this Mazda car given the competitors won't up the notch in their current offering.
But if it will again flood the streets, probably some Rich buyers will turn on other car models that are not common in the streets.

Not really that mindset. More like for a particular segment, I can typically expect to fit x number of persons (or car seats) and corresponding gear while in a Mazda, expect to be able to fit a lot less.

makes sense indeed... really the reason also why i got the Jazz instead of the 2 hatch...

or Ford for that matter... pinoys will tend to buy anything with a Toyota or a Ford badge...
