Key differences

Weight
The Hub2's published weight is 2.7 kg lower: 9.3 kg against 12 kg. Hub2: stroller with seat. Cruz V3: frame + seat (frame alone 7.7 kg, seat 4.3 kg). Brands weigh different configurations, so check what each figure includes.
Folded size
The Hub2 has the shorter longest side when folded: 66.5 cm against 82.3 cm. These are the manufacturers' published folds, not a car-fit test, so measure your boot opening as well.
Price
No manufacturer RRP is published for the Hub2. Check current retailer prices.
Newborn
Both are listed as "from birth, setup included". Hub2: Listed as usable from birth. Newborns use the seat in its most reclined position; the cot is sold separately or in the Hub2 set. Cruz V3: Infant insert included; seat reclines flat for a newborn with the insert.
Basket

Will it fit your car?

We have not tested either pram in a car. Compare the published folds above with your boot opening and floor; the shape of the boot matters as much as the numbers.
