CRV 2007 or TUCSON or SPORTAGE

[Fibbo]

pare-parehas lang magka-level ang mga yan...at wag nyo ng subukan pang ikumpara ang crv sa sta fe kasi 1 level-up yun, olats talga crv dun ehehe

between the 3..sportage ako. crdi na, gwaping pa
di ko type style ng tucson
fugly naman sobra yung harap ng crv..although ok yung likod. maganda din ang interiors. mas mahal nga lang...mas magastos pa kasi gas na, matakaw pa hehehe

I think that Harrold is right about the CRV being in the same size category as the Santa Fe. In fact, unlike the Santa Fe, the CRV was actually marketed as an 8 seater AUV (ASIAN UTILITY VEHICLE). I think that was just a few years ago and now, the new CRV should be even bigger right? It certainly is not in the same category as the Tucson. The Tucson is in the small "CUV" class, which makes it a bit expensive. The Tucson does not look so nice either, but it does look solid and definitely doesn't look cheap.

the CRV is not in the same size category as the Santa Fe... the CRV is considered a Small size SUV while the Santa Fe is considered a Mid size SUV... the Santa Fe is in the same size category as the Fortuner, the Santa Fe is actually longer and wider than the Fortuner...

Dimensions - Length x Width x Height
Honda CRV - 4.5300 x 1.8200 x 1.6800 - PhP 1.19M Gas M/T
Hyundai SF - 4.6750 x 1.8900 x 1.7950 - PhP 1.58M Gas A/T
K. Sorrento - 4.5670 x 1.8630 x 1.7300 - PhP 1.14M Diesel M/T
T. Fortuner - 4.6950 x 1.8400 x 1.8500 - PhP 1.35M Gas A/T
K. Sportage - 4.3500 x 1.8000 x 1.6950 - PhP 0.97M Gas A/T
H. Tucson - 4.3250 x 1.8300 x 1.7300 - PhP 0.90M Gas M/T

As you can see, the Fortuner is not really smaller than the Sante Fe. It is longer and taller than the Sante Fe. The CRV is not that far behind either while the Tucson & the Sportage is really too short to be included in this list.

But the good thing is that the Honda CRV is much cheaper than the rest in its class except for the Sorrento.

Sabi nga eh, yung CRV ay nasa class ng Santa Fe talaga at pareho silang may gas engine.

if you want to check what is the classification of the different SUVs available check out the links below:

Compact SUV
Mid Size SUV
Large SUV

Toyota's Fortuner won? Probably because it is a Toyota and for no other reason. I haven't heard of anybody complaining about Hyundai's diesel or CRDi engines while there have been a lot of complaint with Toyota's D4D.

Oo nga, masmarami yung Toyota kasi naman nasa minamarket na yun ng Toyota 2005 sa Pinas. Yung Santa Fe naman nakaraang taon lang yata pumasok sa Pilipinas.

Matagal ko na nakita yan Award na yan. Biruin mo, Alterra over LC? Weird talaga mamili mga tao ano?

Santa Fe is midsize while crv is compact suv. yes they have gasoline engines but not in the same class pa rin. the Santa Fe has a v6 engine while the crv here has a 4cyl engine.

CRV 2007 ka na para iwas sakit ng ulo. Meron kami Honda City, 7 years na sa amin e regular PMS lang kailangan. STAREX namin e 3 years na sa amin kaya 3years na din kami pabalik-balik sa CASA nila for WARRANTY & REPAIRS.

Ganda talaga porma ng CRV, kaya Sportage ang kinuha ko kasi mukha siyang CRV.
Ang CRV naman mukhang Sportage

[silicon]

it's the Sportage for me... Kia has improved over the years.... CRV is a gas guzzler....

[Djerms]

Sportage crdi sana.

Re: Tucson Recall.

Eh bat ka naman hindi magsi-seat belt?

worst case scenario kasi yung crash test. kung safe ang driver kahit walang seatbelt diba the best yun. anyway, applicable naman satin yan kasi maraming tarantadong tsuper satin, tamad maglagay ng seatbealt. so kung dito satin ay dapat recall yung mga unit kasi hindi safe. GO SPORTAGE!!!!!!

[torpydoo]

naglipana dito samin ang mga kia and hyundai vans (2nd hand), ginagamit nilang pampasada, travelling at least 100km / day. in fact they are already a major competition to aircon and ordinary buses. so kung reliability ng hyundai and kia company lang naman ang pag uusapan, well i can say they are very reliable just by looking at these vans travelling across the bicol region carrying full pack of passengers (minsan over loaded pa).

CRV 2007 - Honda e!

[Syuryuken]

Tucson or sportage pareho lang naman itsura niyan.

Hey guys! I posted this forum write up days ago on the "Sportage vs. Tucson thread". Paki basa na lang... extra info... Ty. By the way, we have an '03 CR-V 4x2 and it sucks (only my youngest sister likes it coz she was the one who asked for it anyway). We also have an '05 Tribute and it sucks too (I like the sporty feel though - and the moonroof of course). My cousin recently bought an '07 CR-V 4x2 and he's also not totally happy with it... Di raw ganun kaganda ang ride... all hype! Read on bros!

"The Hyundai-KIA group merged some years ago. Hyundai was able to buy the ailing KIA (who was just into cars), while Hyundai was fortunate enough to have diversified interests (cars, heavy equipment, shipbuilding, electronics, etc.). Hence, Hyundai had more funds coz their eggs were not all in one basket, LUCKY. Although, KIA was the very first Korean car maker, who believe it or not, started with bicycles.

Gone are the days when Hyundai bought technology from Mitsubishi and virtually made knock-offs, and when KIA was tied-up with the Ford-Mazda group. Now the Hyundai-KIA group is a force to be reckoned with in the automotive industry worldwide with its own state-of-the-art manufacturing and testing facilities scattered around the globe, top-notch engineering & design teams, aggressive research & development, etc. In fact, KIA now utililizes European engineers & designers. They even hired as Head or Chief of their design and engineering teams the man who brought to the world, cars such as the new Beetle and the Audi TT. His name escapes me as of the moment.

With regards to CRDi, KIA was the very first asian make to adapt or adopt this technology, ahead of big brother Hyundai and way ahead of the Japs. The Europeans were of course the first in the world to utilize this by way of BMW if i'm not mistaken.

The Hyundai-KIA group is now ranked the number 6 car manufacturer in the world (in terms of units sold), with a goal of being in the Top 5 by the year 2010. Even ahead of Honda, who is currently number 9.

In the case of Sportage vs. Tucson, I think it will just boil down to personal preference. I mean, they basically come from the same manufacturing plants in Korea, with the same processes and standards. They even share the same platform. No biases, I prefer the Sportage coz for me it looks better in & out.

In terms of local warranty Hyundai does offer a 5-year term, but read the fine print, it's a 5-year/100,000KM warranty (whichever comes first). While KIA has a 3-year/110,000KM warranty (again, whichever comes first). Now the 5-year term sounds really good but your vehicle would have to ONLY run an average of 1,666kms per month for that duration to avail of it. It doesn't sound realistic, except if you really have an extensive fleet of cars in your garage. So 3-years/110,000kms for KIA sounds really good to me! No come-ons.

There may be more Tucsons than Sportages on the road now, but as per my queries, it's only because KIA has a very strong following & demand now in the Americas and Europe. The Koreans seem to give priority or preference to ship their production to these countries before ours. Remember though that KIA has been present in our country for the longest time. As I see it, the distributor has been really committed in bringing alternative cars to the Philippines. The 1st gen Sportage was introduced in the mid-90's, while the new one was introduced way before the Tucson. OT: KIA also had foresight and was way ahead of all other manufacturers in the small car segment by introducing the Picanto, if you noticed, almost everybody followed suit. Sayang lang because of the supply and demand problems before.

In a nutshell, these are both very good and decent vehicles. At par or even better than their jap counterparts now. They may lack "options" or "features" but bear in mind that our importers have to be "practical" at times. I'm sure they can load it with all goodies possible but how many then can afford their vehicles. It's your choice!

As I understand the Sportage is available as follows:

Sportage 2.0L GAS 4x2 CVVT - 969,000Php
Sportage 2.0L CRDi 4x4 - 1,120,000Php

Both automatic tranny only with shiftronic.

My 2 cents... FYI. Thank you. Happy hunting!"
