Everyone has their own preferences and what they value. I value features that I use every day, which the local version of the Cross severely lacks. Of course it is cheaper because it doesn't have those features but it isn't a worthwhile tradeoff for me.
This is why the H6 HEV sounds like a much better option, but then I've also heard rumors that due to the success of the H6 HEV, Sazgar is also considering launching the PHEV variant which has AWD in some markets. That sounds like a much better option.
