Hyundai Tucson Vs Kia Carens

[pretty07]

Hi guys,

im just a newbie here.... i need some help in deciding... i am soon buying a car... im torn between tucson and carens.... what makes me lean towards carens is its seating capacity.... it's gonna be me and my 3 siblings who will use the car most of the time but for like one month of the year, my parents come home so that makes us 6.....

i got quotations for both, the prices of both will work for me... just want to make sure i am gonna get my money's worth...


help please!!!

Besides the Tucson article that mazdamazda posted, I've also reviewed the Carens.

The Carens interior is better, but there are some downsides:
-the now-higher price
-low ground clearance and soft suspension, which can lead to scrapes on some bumps. Furthermore, the soft suspension actually makes for less sure handling than the taller Tucson (logically, the lower vehicle should handle better, but from experience with these two cars, the opposite is true)

The good points of the Carens:
-more modern interior
-more cargo room, more flexible cargo space
-much more powerful diesel engine

Despite this, I think the Tucson or Sportage might be the better choice if you can fit in it. But if you really need seven seats, the Carens is the most comfortable-riding and car-like diesel seven-seater in this price range.

in this case, you may need an Innova. it will fit 6 full grown people easily, with lots of room to spare.

or you may also want to think about the Mitsu Fusion.

kung bata lang kasi, ok na ang Carens, pero kung malalaki kayo, baka masikip.

another option will be the Nissan Grand Livina and the Kia Carnival.

If you do need space for 6, go for the Kia Carens:


BUT, if you can live with the hassle of fitting in 6 adults in an SUV, the Tucson CRDi is a good choice too:


I'm slightly leaning towards the Carens as its interior looks more updated than the oh-so-bland Tucson.

How about Kia Sportage CRDI?

yeah, i checked sportage too... but if i were to get the sportage, i more likely will choose the tucson... i dont know why.... haha

i was also considering the grand livina but i already got a number of discouragements...haha

somebody told me wala na daw ilalabas na version ang tucson.... - means hindi nga daw okay? dont gang me up for tucson users, sabi lng.... hehe


the seating capacity of carens is what really makes me lean towards her..... aside from the porma na okay naman for that budget range.... kainis nga tumaas presyo ng carens this June....

Kung open ka sa manual tranny there is one available unit a white LX carens at old price pa so I think it is at 885k only its a good buy. Just contact ace8tan kakapost niya lang kahapon sa carens thread. may cell num din siya nilagay. BTW he is an agent for Kia Signet mandaluyong.
