    What would you buy between the two?

    I'm torn between them.

    Hyundai Sta Fe (Availble) 1.528M (???)
    2.2L CRDI w VGT - 150hp*4000 / 335Nm*1800-2500


    Kia Sorento (Soon na daw)
    2.5L CRDI w VGT - 190hp*3800 / 320Nm*2000

    I think Santa Fe is great! Knowing that it competes with Acura and Lexus's luxury SUV!

    Stick with the one that gets better fuel economy. Gas prices are expected to go up and up and up. Too much Horsepower on our roads is not a big advantage.

    Hyundai owns Kia, I think these are two same vehicles probably build in the same platform, they just differ in style. Sa porma I'll go with the Kia Sorento.

    kapag ako.. dun ako sa mas mura at mas maraming goodies..

    pero mas comfortable ang ride ng sta. fe..

    with independent suspension and monocoque chasis..

    parang nasa kotse ka lang nakasakay.. tapos may 3rd-row seat pa un diba?

    ung sa sorento medyo choppy siguro ride nun..

    pero mastatagal un kaysa sa sta. fe.

    I got to see the inside of the Sta Fe * SM MoA. it's classy and somewhat luxurious. hindi ka papahiyain ng auto na ito if you'll entertain other execs from other companies/countries.

    my dad drives an explorer EB and even he thinks this Hyundai looks better inside and out.

    ganda ng headlights ng sta.fe! may nakasalubong ako isang gabi, kakainis, kakasilaw ng lights niya, yun sta.fe pala. mas luxurious ang sta.fe compared to sorento but i prefer the sorento kasi mas sporty sya.

    pag luxury -> Sta. Fe
    pag sporty -> Sorento

    Ganyan naman talaga gusto na mangyari ng Hyundai when they acquired Kia e!
