Just a suggestion sir ---- Don't forget to check the Hyundai Tucson eVGT diesel CRDi. It cost about PhP200,000 more than the gasoline-variant but you would understand why.

For a brief info it comes with a potent engine for just a 2.0-litre diesel CRDi engine producing 177 metric-hp with 392 Nm of peak torque. Yes, it's lighter than both the 2.5-litre Hilux (102 metric-hp, 260 Nm torque) and the 2.5-litre Strada GLX-V (178 metric-hp, 350 Nm torque) so expect higher power to weight ratio from the lighter Tucson.

To further impress upon you what the numbers mean in comparo with another diesel, if you have heard about the vaunted all-new 2.0-litre Volkswagen Amarok diesel pickup that is equipped with twin-turbo, the Amarok just pumps out 163 hp and produces slightly higher torque that is 400 Nm.

Not only the added oomph, but you can also expect one of the highest safety standards put into the car (Tucson) where Hyundai, in general, has always been well known-for to excel....

Try checking it out, if you can at least swing-in a li'l just bit more, so much the better you get the Tucson eVGT ;)

Goodluck sir!
