2010 Sorento or 2012 Tucson?

[markvlla21]

Hi. First time poster here and I'm hoping I can get a bit of help from the knowledgeable Tsikot community. Long time reader na po pero 1st post lang.

I'm planning to get a new SUV. I was almost sold on the Hyundai Tucson GL 2.0L AT. I was given a nice quote. SRP is 1,038M and I'm getting it on 20%DP and 3 years financing.

However, I got this offer that gave me a dilemma.

A friend who owns a car dealership acquired a 2010 Sorento 2.2L AT 5 seater and he's offering it to me at 1M flat. I can also finance it for 3 years. Its mileage is at 27000 and seems to be in pretty good condition. Question now is which one is a better buy?

I'm thinking of the following factors in the decision making process:

1. Fuel consumption differential.
2. Rate of depreciation/resale value in 5 years.
3. Overall performance/experience.

Thank you guys in advance!!!

Sorento na! 2.2R e-VGT means better FC, higher resale and much, much better performance than the gasoline-powered Tucson. 1M flat is pretty cheap for a Sorento, especially if it really is in good condition. But 27000kms is a tad high, don't you think.

[markvlla21]

Yeah, 27000 is a little high. It might explain the lower than usual price. Both use gas, so either way magastos din hehe. Thanks for the advice, sir!

magsorento ka na sir. LX ba sir or EX?

maybe kaya mura yung sorento kasi baka naaquire niya yan nung Pre-selling days which is less 300k for the 5-seater variants. lumalabas 1.295M for LX and 1.395M for EX R-eVGT models.

[markvlla21]

Sir LX po yung sorento. 2.2L na gas. Actually that was the concern, baka maging guzzler pag tumagal, affecting the resale value. Of course, that was just a possibility na naisip ko. You guys would know better po

Sir, please enlighten me about what you meant by pre-selling days. Thanks!

The Sorento 2.2 liter is a diesel engine. Better fuel economy.

Kung 2.2 CRDi R-eVGT yung Sorento, kahit pa LX lang, dun ka na. Medyo mataas nga yung mileage pero ok lang yan (Yung SF namin 1 year palang 28K na mileage). Bawi ka parin sa lakas ng makina nyan at tipid sa crudo.

2.2 liter yung diesel, 2.4 liter yung gas. Alin ba talaga?

Ehehe sensya na sir. Gas po sya and lowest trim na matic ng 2010 Sorento, so I assumed it was the 2.2.

Ah. So 2.4L gas pala.

Wag mo na kunin. Mas malakas yan sa Tucson.. E' 5 seater lang din naman so walang advantage..

I see, sir. Thanks sa advice po. Sa resale value po ba lamang din ang Tucson na 2012?

Sir, please enlighten me about what you meant by pre-selling days. Thanks!

around last year nag pre-selling ang KIA for the 5-seater units na darating palang nun. less 300k sa SRP pag nagpareserve agad. basta magdown ka ng atleast 100k.

LX theta (5-seater) 1.495m --> 1.195m
EX theta (5-seater) 1.595m --> 1.295m
LX R-eVGT (5-seater) 1.595m --> 1.295m
EX R-eVGT (5-seater) 1.595m --> 1.395m

they promised the unit within 6 months time. after 6 mos if di nila nadeliver, dun palang mererefund yung dinown mo. CAC did not deliver the units on time particularly R-eVGT units siguro dahil sa demand worldwide. puro gas variants yung mga dumarating on time. yung reserved EX 5-seater R-eVGT namin nga around 1 1/4 year bago dumating, already settled for AWD EX R-eVGT after the six month waiting period. ewan lang kung sino nakakuha nung reserved 5-seater unit namin.

Ahh. Very interesting info, sir Ratchet. Thanks for explaining.

[markvlla21]

Agree ako sir Ratchet na sportage has the better front but the rear really bothers me. Saka mas mahal sya hehe. Sa dealer namin dito sa San Fernando, Pampanga, cheapest is 1.158M if I'm not mistaken. Yung matic na base model ng Tucson is 1.038M, so mas pasok sa budget.

Originally kasi Elantra GLS ang nasa isip ko kaso naisip ko 100k na lang difference, Tucson na. :D

[renzo_d10]

I'd go with the Sorento, assuming that everything is in tip-top shape. Else, I will have no other choice but to pick the Tucson GL.

kapampangan ka sir? actually kami din ganyan din. Elantra 1.8GLS, Tucson or Sportage 4x2 pampalit sa aging X-trail. 4 months na wala padin mapili.hehe. FC kasi main concern pero kung konti nalang gugustuhin mo na mag SUV di ba.hehe. kung hintay naman sa sportage R-eVGT parang sorento lang din. design at engine. tapos ngayon gumulo pa yung elantra yung favorite color namin na satorini blue nasa 1.8 GLS na.

Ay... Theta II... Gusto mo maghanap ng Sorento 2.2R e-VGT 5 seater online? May ilan diyang binebenta na medyo bago bago pa. Baka gusto mo tingnan. Mas matipid at mas malakas sa gasoline version.

[markvlla21]

Half kapampangan sir ratchet. Pero most of the time nasa metro manila for work. Balitaan mo ako pag nakapili na kayo. kelan ba dating nung bagong sportage at how much kaya?

Gwapo nga yang bagong blue na elantra. Pick ko yan kaso yun red ang bet ng gf ko hehe.
