I know there is a thread on tucson or fortuner. But had to start another one because my dilemma is choosing between the two.
well comparing lang on santa fe crdi 2.2 vs fortuner 2.5 dsl if available but if not 3.0 dsl.
Okay quick comparisons.
fortuner -
1. if 3.0 its 4x4
2. Toyota siya.
3. a little bit bigger
Santa Fe.
1. 2.2 crdi 4x2 lang
2. same unit that is road worthy in the US and Europe. Here the fortuner is not even sold in the US
3. mid size SUV so i think ride wise better kasi SUV built talaga not pick-up dressed to be SUV
Inputs naman.
for santa fe owners mileage consumption naman.

2.5 Fortuner vs 2.2 Santa Fe = Santa Fe or current CRDI 4x2 Sorento
3.0 Fortuner vs 2.2 Santa Fe = I'd wait for the 4x4 Sorento w/ VGT/170+hp
If you are not the type of person who would change his/her million-peso cars every couple of years or less, do not be too mindful of the resale value. Think of your riding experience for 3 or more years instead of nail-biting on your first day of purchase because your car would not not have a high appraisal in 3 years or so.

June 24th, 2006 01:50 AM #3from what i read in the forum about SF and 42nr, if you have extra money go for santa fe, because even if its 1.5M something, the features and all is worth more than what you're gonna pay for...its like you're selling a 2M plus murano for 1.5M.
And about the resale value, i was thinking, since hyndai is making a good mark in the car industry, the Filipinos myt just have a change of mind with regards to comparing hyndai and toyota cars...so who knows..nothings impossible...

If you do not have off-roading adventures in mind, the Santa Fe gets my vote.

Same here. I'd rather go for a road-tuned unibody vehicle like the Santa Fe rather than an off-roader with a stiff suspension and a ladder-frame for urban use.
And you do have a point about the Santa Fe's crashworthiness rating. It's a pretty good deal as compared to Japanese or US nameplates.

I own a 2.5 D4D Fortuner and my father has placed an order for a 2.2 Sta Fe. I've tried both vehicles.
IMHO
1. riding comfort Sta Fe ang panalo, matatag ang Fortuner
2. power / accelaeration - Fortuner
3. Space / Legroom - Fortuner
4. Design - Even
Sta Fe: Plus factor - Cooler, Self leveling suspension, disk brakes on all 4's, HID headlights. stock leather seats (in the Fortuner it cost me 60T plus)
But I hate the fake wood trim of the Sta Fe.
And one more thing - Ang Sta Fe parang dead steering, too soft for my taste parang walang feedback.Last edited by herbularyo; June 24th, 2006 at 04:23 PM.

kung 2.5G Fortuner, Santa Fe ako.
kung 3.0V Fortuner, that gets my vote.

actually you wouldnt determine how good or bad resale value of new cars like these until it has shown its track record years down the road .. like no one cguro thought that opel would suffer such bad resale when it came out.. kaya sa new cars swertihan lang din.. so dun ka sa napupusuan mo! ako... sa hyundai!

I tested both. My Gf and her mom initially prefer Fortuner.
Fortuner: stiff (ika nga nung isang owner bugbog sarado ka pag long trips), revo like interior, D-4D problems (something that BMW and Hyundai CRDi engines never had), Can go fast but has some reports of brake and reliability issues.
Santa Fe: Luxurious interior, well-thought features, so many features for the price. Ergo, good value for the money. Practically just an upgrade from the tried and tested Tucson (i think they're using the same engine based on the specsheets).
Very soft ride, nice acceleration, good fuel economy, 4 Disc Brakes, EBD, ABS, ESC, TCS safety features.
And finally, not much on the road (it's so common to see 5 Fortuners every hour now which makes the truck's exclusivity gone).
After we did so much evaluation between the two and after making dealerships fight each other (LOL!), my gf went for the Santa Fe CRDi. We reserved it yesterday, delivery is within a week :-)

BTW, what i mean with the Revo-like interior is that, Revo and Fortuner has the same class not that Revo's interior is bad. hehe They have a revo SR too :-)
