2013 Santa Fe vs 2013 Sorento

[supercar10]

Dilemma.. Dilemma.. Which to buy?

Both are basically the same car, but in different packaging.

1.768m vs 1.350m

SAME:
2.2L Revgt engine
6 speed A/T
4x2
Eco function
Suspension setup
Fabric seats
5yr shady warranty

Difference:
7 seating vs Sorento 5 seater
SF has Leather steering wheel with bluetooth and Cruise Control
More safety features like hill start assist, hill descent and back up sensor on the SF
17inch cheap looking wheels vs 18inch pretty looking wheels of the SF
SF has Start/stop button, Auto fold side mirrors and fog lamps
Sorento is bigger and roomier inside.


The Sorento is P418,000 less than the Santa Fe despite having practically the same specs ladies and gentlemen. So,

Sorento na lang ba or the ***y Santa Fe?

If you don't need the 7 seats.

Get the crdi 4x2 Sportage.

[Retz]

Santa Fe for me.

[yebo]

sorento. madami ka pwede gawin dyan sa 400k na sobra.

[lowslowbenz]

No 4x4 variant for these cars?

[dct]

syempre sta fe.. ang laki ng difference sa sorento 5 seater. pero syempre, pati sa price if you are willing to spend 1.7M, sta fe na talaga. pero kung medyo tipid tipid, sorento will do

[supercar10]

Santa Fe has. Priced at 2.228m.

*Ry_Tower: Sportage is a lil cramped inside though. Im 6'1 kasi so its down to Sorento or Santa Fe.

[sagingsaba]

For the price .. Sorento

Pero mas bago ang SF.. Ang Sorento kasi parang 2nd Gen SF lang.

i compared the thick manuals of both 2013 sta fe and sorento and they are practically the same. the difference is that columbian released the 5 seater version while hari released the 7 seater. most likley 7 seater version will be released next year which will have the same features as the sta fe. totl variants of sta fe and sorento are like twins -- sunroof, lane departure, auto parking, flex steering, cornering lamps, etc.

mejo out of topic yung tanong ko sir. Pero bakit ano bang problema pag hindi ka nakapag PMS sa mismong casa? Anong warranty ba mawawala pag ganun sir?

kapag di sa casa nagpms,hindi nila i-honor ang warranty claims in the future

pag may malfunction sa car mo. na hindi naman dapat ganun. excluded ang wear and tear like brake pads. example, may problem sa alarm, sa radio, sa pinto at marami pang iba. icclaim mo ng warranty yan

[imperialv]

Hindi naman lahat ng casa is strict with the 3 months pms..

Btw, halos lahat naman ng brand, kapag hindi ka sumunod sa PMS, baka ma void ang warranty ng kotse mo..

[imperialv]

Correct me if I'm wrong.. Dba yung Sorento is based on the 2nd Gen SF... If Yes, then the new Santa Fe has an all new design which will be better than the Sorento.

[imperialv]

2007 has the old engine. But the 2010 SF has the same engine with the new SF

I bought the sorento because i only need a 5 seater, comfortable ride, powerful engine, roomy cabin. The bells and whistles of the sta fe are nice to have but i hv survived driving in baguio and sagada with an older car without even needing hill assist or descent. Nice to have the start button but what if that conks out at the most unfortunate time.

Thus the sorento fits my practical needs. What do i need to upgrade ? Possibly a HU which would probably cost 30-40k.

I also need a 7 seater vehicle. Either way, kahit sorento or santa fe, almost identical naman yan. Magkakatalo na lang yan sa service. Ako walang problema sa service ng hyundai at kia.

hill assist? descent? kung aakyat ka ng pinatubo would you use your SF or sorento? di naman di ba, so wat da fak for yung mga features na yun on a softroader? kung mago-offroad ka you get a vehicle with a manual 4x4, like a lc70. not one with an a/t. also, if you are going to take your vehicle in such a situation, won't it be better you first learn how to do it without any electronics to assist you? like learning to do it with just your instincts controlling your feet? and in the process know what is possible and not?

naalala ko tuloy some years back may nag-post dito (o sa kotse.com?) na lalaban daw siya ng pustahan with his ride, karera to pinatubo. his car, a honda crv hehehe! fanboi!

anyway, it all boils down to what you want and what you can afford. if you think you need a 7 seater, then both the SF and sorento have 7-seater models. if you only need a 5-seater then the sorento fits the bill. if you want all those gizmos and do not consider the possibility of them going wrong a worry, then go for the high-end models. (di ba may mga sf and sorento na nagloloko yung start button? just imagine an emergency and the button fails.) and of course nasa budget mo yan, kung kaya mo ba e. 4 years ago i could afford a totl 4x4 SF and i did, 3 months ago hangang sorento lx lang kaya ko e di yun lang. so if you really want the more expensive totl model and you can afford it, why not. you deserve every bit of luxury your hard work can provide.

(di ba may mga sf and sorento na nagloloko yung start button? just imagine an emergency and the button fails.)

AFAIK it's the brake switch that fails. Kaya hindi nag-start kasi you have to step on the brake pedal to start the engine.

Eh pag tinopak ang brake switch, hindi ma-recognize ng push start system na naka-apak ka na sa brake pedal.

Kung sirain siguro ang engine start button, swerte ko nalang siguro pati sa ibang kotse namin na naka-smart key.

Not all casa follow the 3 month rule, mas important pa rin ang mileage. What if after your 1000 pms, after 3 months ay 500 kms lang nadagdag? No one in their right mind including the service advisors would insist na change oil na dapat yung unit.

Ewan ko nalang talaga kung may sira ulong gagawa niyan. Ang PMS interval ko sa Tucson every 5 months kasi 1000km/month lang gamit ko dun.

Yun SF2.5 namin sumasakto sa 3months/5000km kasi sobrang laspag. 55K na odo ngayon 2 years palang.
