Key differences
- Weight
- The Cruz V3's published weight is 0.3 kg lower: 12 kg against 12.3 kg. Cruz V3: frame + seat (frame alone 7.7 kg, seat 4.3 kg). Fox 5 Renew: with seat (13.3 kg with bassinet). Brands weigh different configurations, so check what each figure includes.
- Folded size
- The Cruz V3 has the shorter longest side when folded: 82.3 cm against 90 cm. These are the manufacturers' published folds, not a car-fit test, so measure your boot opening as well.
- Price
- The Cruz V3 has the lower manufacturer RRP, by $650 ($1,299 against $1,949). The bundles differ, so compare what is in each box.
- Newborn
- Both are listed as "from birth, setup included". Cruz V3: Infant insert included; seat reclines flat for a newborn with the insert. Fox 5 Renew: Bassinet included in the 2-in-1 bundle.
- Basket
- The Cruz V3 has the larger published basket: 13.6 kg against 10 kg.
- Capsule
- Cruz V3: None for UPPAbaby Mesa. Upper car seat adaptor for other brands. Fox 5 Renew: Adaptors required, sold separately.

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.
