I see... Pero yung 2nd row ba may vents? If so hindi naman siguro maiinit since usually kahit buksan lang ng mas malakas ang harap malamig na maya maya. Ang laki naman kasi ng agwat ng 5 seater sa 7 seater. Abot 6 digits!

Meron pero maliit lang yung AC vents sa second row, ni hindi nga nakaka-tulong eh. Kaya lalong di aabot yun sa 3rd row.

Tsaka curious din ako, since walang third row yung 5-seater Sorento, nasaan ang spare tire? Nasa labas parin kaya o parang Tucson at Sportage na nasa loob?

Another thing to consider is the seat belts.

IMHO mas kailangan yan kesa AC vents.

Magkano na nga ba ang prices ng mga Sorento variants ngayon? Kulang yung mga sa magazines and wala namang nakalagay sa Kia website. Naalala ko dati nasa 1.3+M lang yung 5 seater Sorento CRDi ngayon ba ganon parin? Personally rarely kami nagbubukas ng 2nd row aircon at yung gumagamit lang ng seatbelts yung nasa harap.

So it shouldn't be a very big deal. May nagiinstall ba talaga ng 3rd row sa labas o sa Kia lang? And the price is, as previously mentioned, at around 50k?

Kung ikaw naman pala bibili eh walang problema.

Pero hindi lahat ng tao eh pare-pareho ng preference.

Oonga. Just piecing together the options and adding my opinion about it. So what does the TS want?

As stated in the title, I'm after a 2WD 7-seater diesel Santa Fe or Sorento.

Anyway, I'll just wait for unmasked spy photos of the next gen Santa Fe before deliberating on what I may get.

Thanks for the inputs folks.

Nagmura ata yung sorento 2wd 5 seater crdi, alam ko dati close to 1.7m yun, nung nagtanong ako sa dealer 1.590m nalang. Nagbaba
ba ang kia ng price to match the current santa fe? Pwede na siguro ito, bibili nalang ako ng orocan for the 2 seats sa likod hehehhee. Tutal yaya lang naman uupo dun.

Bratski, the 1.59M is LX na 5-seater. Medyo pangit and bare ang interiors niya. This used to cost 1.595M (but had a 300k pre-selling discount before). Kia now offers 70k discount upfront to sell this product, and I believe you can get more if you negotiate (well, eto ang sabi ng SA ko). For me, mas better option ang A/T Gas 2WD EX (7-seater) but you need to cough up 1.69M (may 70k d/c din siya).
