Hyudai Tucson Gas Difference GL and GLS

**janey_bei** · April 16th, 2011 02:28 AM

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.

I prefer GLS 2WD A/T.

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.

Hindi magastos mag maintain ng diesel engine.

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

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.

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.
