Hyudai Tucson Gas Difference GL and GLS

[janey_bei]

hi,
i always get pointed to this thread whenever I surf about cars, so i joined. i would appreciate getting inputs on what is the difference between GL and GLS model of Hyundai Tucson Gas AT. i am renewing my car plan and i have been looking at Tucson since last year when it launched.

Also, is there anyone who can share maintenance experience for the Diesel variant? I drive Malolos-Makati-Malolos, the gas prices are up so i am also looking at saving from getting diesel however i know it's costly to maintain a diesel car. I just wanted to weigh the pros and cons esp that the the Tucson R eVGT is 300K more expensive than the Theta. i think i can get expert opinion here.

salamat.

Ok so tapos na tayo dyan sa difference.

Tucson Theta II:
Pros:
- Cheaper maintenance than R-eVGT
- Adequate power
- No need to cool down the turbo

Cons:
- Damn consumption

Tucson R-eVGT:
Pros:
- God damn power! A thousand NM of torque.
- Very fuel efficient
- Cheap fuel (50 pesos/L for V-Power Diesel vs 58 pesos/L for XCS)
- Easier to reach the top speed

Cons:
- More expensive maintenance than Theta II
- Takaw karera

Pero it's true sir Paj. I don't like racing my Tucson pero minsan may mga taong abuso.

Pinatitikim ko lang kung ano ibig sabihin ng 2.0R-eVGT.

ang yabang mo naman *SG, hindi ka mananalo sa Sta Fe ko noh

Hindi magastos mag maintain ng diesel engine.

[kkreuk18]

Nagiging magastos lang ang diesel engine pagdating ng time na kailangan ioverhaul. compared sa gas engine hindi ganun kalaki ang magagastos kahit ioverhaul. Pero napakatagal naman bago ioverhaul lalo na kung personal na gamit lang. I'm sure naibenta nyo na ang unit nyo bago pa dumating un time na un

Hindi magastos mag maintain ng diesel engine.

Sa Toyota mura lang mag-maintain ng diesel. Pero sa Mitsubishi, Hyundai at Kia hindi. Lalo na sa BMW.

8 Liters of Semi Synthetic or Fully Synthetic oil.

Then cleaning of EGR every 20,000kms.

Mas mahal kesa maintenance ng petrol, pero yung torque talaga. Wala ako masasabi.

[janey_bei]

I removed sa option yung diesel because of the maintenance cost i am hearing. ang PMS ba niya every 10K km? i easily hit 10K in about 4 to 5 months kung coding lang ang palit.

There is a promo at all hyundai dealers from april 4-20, 2011. 25% discount on labor and 10% discount on parts + Free one hyundai club membership.


Pls note: The correct qantity of oil for 2010 SF crdi is 6.7 ltrs as per new guidelines from HARI "
http://www.santafeclubph.com/forums/...p?topic=36.855

since mas maliit ang engine Tucs baka same ratio lang yan?

[Starex_Gold]

E magkaiba naman engine ng Tucson at Santa Fe. 8 liters talaga requirement namin. 5 dots under the F line yung 8 liters.

*renzo: Ganito makina ng SF ni OB....

Pag dito sa pinas...kaya yan ng Vios. :D
Matrapik lng...hehehe la na.

It's expensive to maintain a diesel within the warranty period. But after that, when you start to use third party products and services, it ain't bad.

And diesel engines, because of their high compression nature, tend to be overbuilt and very strong.

Kalaban mo na lang injector or turbo failure. Other than that, just keep on trucking.

Kung sa Tucson, the gas engine (and the associated savings in purchase price) will suffice. Dami mo na din gas na mabibili dun. hehe.
