    Dear all,

    I am choosing between the two (both diesel variant)

    I have been to the hyundai casa and they gave a good deal on the tucson. Will be going tomorrow for the sportage to inquire.

    Test drove the tucson diesel already and was quite surprised on the "hatak" and the "speed". I thought it was a gas engine at first!

    Will be used by my mother for city driving most of the time

    Questions are:

    1. Which is more fuel efficient? Could you post figures? For city driving.
    * they are the same engine im sure, but the tucson has 4wd. Will that affect fuel consumption??

    2. Does the sportage have same gear ratios as the tucson? I loved how the tucson drives.

    3. How is the ride of the sportage compared to tucson?

    4. I noticed that the sportage has lesser space at the back seat? Am i right?

    5. Do they have the same maintenance parts?

    Reason why im asking is it is hard to get a test drive on the sportage diesel. For me. Exterior and interior. Id go,with sportage. I am just almost sold on the tucson because of the name and reliability.

    Thanks for answering!

    1. Which is more fuel efficient? Could you post figures? For city driving.
    * they are the same engine im sure, but the tucson has 4wd. Will that affect fuel consumption?? More or less mas matipid and sportage pero very minimal lang to compare...baka nga hindi mapansin...

    2. Does the sportage have same gear ratios as the tucson? I loved how the tucson drives. - No idea about this...

    3. How is the ride of the sportage compared to tucson? - Mas soft ang ride ng tucson and mas firm or sportier and ride ng sportage

    4. I noticed that the sportage has lesser space at the back seat? Am i right? - Initial look at the back of two vehicles, ,mas maliit ng onti ang sportage...

    5. Do they have the same maintenance parts? - Almost the same.

    Mas maluwag trunk nang sporatge but mas maluwang nga kunti rear area nang tucson. Kahit saan dyan hindi ka magsisisi, best buy the 2wd version na lang para matipid.

    Mazda CX5 4x2 would be a nice competitor as well IMHO.

    Sportage na. Everything is the same with the tucson, minor difference is a firmer ride for the sportage. Trunk space, very minimal naman difference nila.

    The big difference is the pm schedule for crdi diesel engines. For hyundai tucson (i assume hari dealership ka kukuha if ever you choose this) it is 5000km/3 months. For kia sportage it is 5000km/6 months. So kung takot ka sa hyundai at susundin mo yung 3 months pm schedule nila then THE COST OF MAINTENANCE OF THE TUCSON IS TWICE THAT OF THE SPORTAGE.

    Pag nabasa ni niky ito babanatan na naman ako na di pa nakakabili ng brand new kahit minsan.

    Wala kasi 2wd version ang tucson para sa diesel e. kung meron lang.

    She prefers a compact suv with a diesel engine. Thanks for suggesting though

    1. City driving ng Tucson R-eVGT 4WD ko, 7km/L to 9.5km/L depende sa driving habits at traffic. Yung Sportage halos pareho lang, mas matipid lang ng konti kasi FWD lang. Lamang lang ng konting traction yun Tucson dahil 4WD. But the Sportage feels lighter.

    2. Exactly the same.

    3. Slightly firmer than Tucson. Pero okay lang for me, mas maganda rin body roll sa corners.

    4. Same lang. Sa trunk space may konti difference. Mas mababa kasi headroom ng Sportage.

    5. YES. Pareho lang.

    IMO get the Sportage. Mas bago, mas pogi, mas maraming features at mukhang mas matibay. Yung Sportage namin wala pa warranty claim for almost 2 years na sa amin. Yun Tucson ko bumigay na brake switch noon pero minor lang naman yun.

    Ito post ko before nung may nagtanong din ng Sportage EX eVGT vs Tucson GL eVGT, ito advantages ng Sportage sa features

    - Pwede i-program yun speed sensing door lock at auto door unlock




    Mas maganda lang likod ng Tucson pero overall mas type ko yun Sportage
