Very minimal difference, if any at all. Want something upscale, fast and fuel efficient? I'd suggest you save a bit more and get a Santa Fe. Older units go for 500+k with some negotiation. Sonata-based platform ensures midsize sedan-like ride and handling. Powerful diesel engine is a match for typical 2.4L midsize sedan engines in terms of performance.

I'm sure that the 3 2.0 will get 7 km/L because it's even more efficient than our old Altis 2.0 4AT which I could squeeze out 7 km/L in my usual city driving (not always rush hour since I also have weekend runs and I sometimes don't go along with the rush hour on weekdays).

I'm also fairly certain that the 6 is about 1 km/L more thirsty. And 1 km/L from 6 to 7 km/L is already 17% more. Unless you're saying that if the 3 gets 7 km/L, the 6 can get 6.5 km/L.

The Santa Fe looks cheap and old to me, and again, expensive. It was nice during its time because of the 200hp but it was never pretty. The Sorento looks good to me but still way too expensive since earliest you could get is a 2010 model. Also, I look at expenses on a 5-year horizon and 500+k for a Santa Fe is just not recoverable vs. a 3/6/Focus.
