    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.

    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

    AFAIK the 2013 Sorento is just a facelift from the 2011 Sorento. The 2013 Santa Fe is all-new kaya pricey din

    you can't go wrong in having any of these cars.
    if 1.7m+ Santa Fe does not bother you then go get it.

    otherwise the 400k+ you save from getting the Sorento can buy you 20,000 stocks of SMPH...hehehe

    Here in lies my dilemma Snoid_zero, I like the Santa Fe a lot and have the papers to get it, but the practical me is saying 400k less for its slightly less spec twin sister is the better buy..

    Malaki ba difference? What else meron sa Santa Fe na wala sa Sorento maliban sa mga binangit ko?

    2013 SF has the FLEX STEER feature where you can choose Normal, Comfort and Sport mode for your steering.
    Mukhang wala yan sa Sorento.

    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.

    Yea! add that too sa list of features na meron SF and wala Sorento. Haven't test drive the Sorento yet, but Im guessing it isnt as light as the SF's steering. Electric na kasi steering ng SF compared to power steering ng Sorento.

    e kung electric steering na ang SF, Sorento pa din. at least ang power steering proven and tested na hindi sirain. electric steering dali masira nyan. e sa mahal ng prices ng parts ng hyundai...

    someone mentioned about the PMS schedule of HARI, i hope you are aware of that. P8k every 3 months ang gastos mo sa oil change pa lang.

    I think stocks of the late model 4x4 Santa Fe is still available. Same mechanicals din naman and at 1.788M SRP. I'm sure they will be offering lucrative deals for these. What do you think?
