2010 crv vs tucson vs kia sorento 5 seater gas variant

[magnusthegreat]

Which one would you recommend?

[tidus1203]

No brainer without budget constraints its the Kia Sorento. Pero Kia has halted taking CRDi orders kasi malakas demand sa ibang bansa and apparently Kia Korea prioritizes those countries so small markets like ours can't get their allocation...

You need to know first what are your needs before embarking on a choice. Do you need space? good FC? resale value? performance? family use or daily drive? etc. It would be then easier for us to recommend.

Are we talking about all gasoline variants, here?

If so, the CR-V wins on the performance and fuel consumption counts... though I haven't done a back-to-back run against the Tucson, reported economy from guys on my same route points to the 2.0 gas being similar to the CR-V 2.4 (it's not that the 2.0 gas is bad... it's just that the new CR-V is really economical) and the 2.4 Sorento isn't anywhere close to the CR-V's economy. The CR-V is definitely faster than both. (in gasoline form)

If you consider the diesel versions of the other two, obviously, the order will be reversed.

The resale value is tricky. We don't know what the Tucson's resale will be down the road. It might actually stay high, like the Mazda3... I kind of regard the Tucson as the Mazda3 of compact SUVs... stylish, comfortable, good handling...

For family use, the Sorento and CR-V are better. The Tucson's back seat is good, but it doesn't have the same awe-inspiring space the other two have in the second row.

As a daily driver, the Tucson and CR-V are better. The Sorento is very wide and difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.

Looks? Subjective. I like the Sorento. I also like the other two.

Comfort? Sorento, definitely.

wag ka magsosorento. meron kaming sorento 3.5 EX Gas. grabe kaaksaya sa gas mas maaksaya pa sa e150 or expedition

[Starex_Gold]

Pare, ok ka lang?

Bago na yung Sorento ngayon. ;)

The CR-V still has the best materials in the class, but surprisingly, the Sorento is real close. if only they didn't use standard Hyundai-Kia window switches, it'd be a tie.

With a 3.5 liter engine? I don't doubt it. The new Sorento isn't available in 3.5, though... it only gets the Theta II 2.4 and the 2.2 liter R-Engine.

I got to test drive both Tucson and CRV. For the Sorento, I just got a look at it up close.

The quality of the materials in the CRV is tops. Tucson is 2nd and close behind is the Sorento.

I didnt get the Sorento because it was too big for my use. Its size was a liability, at least for me. Interior was ok, not too flashy.

I liked the Tucson exterior looks and its nifty features, for such a low price. But I felt cramped inside the cabin. The engine was powerful and the ride was very smooth.

The CRV got my family's approval due to the space and comfort inside. Although the outside looks is aging, it somehow grows on you, specially with the new color that they offer.

Overall, I'm happy with my choice.
