Hyundai Tucson CRDi or Nissan XTrail 200X?

[eggman]

Kung may 1.250M kayo ano ang kukunin nyo,yung Tucson CRDi(1.188.000) or yung Xtrail 200X(1.230.000)? Para saakin yung Tucson dahil mas ok!

[ILuvDetailing]

Biased ako sa X-trail , I havn't driven the Tucson so can't judge on that.

[BlueBimmer]

if u want 2 be different tucson hehe

Igan eggman, tama si bluebimmer para nga naman iba ka naman. Nakakasawa na puro halos pare-pareho na nakikita mo sa daan. Saka di ka agrabyado sa Hyundai CRDi engine. Mabuti silipin mo muna components nya kung Bosch components gamit nila sa CRDi engine nila dahil okay yan kung bosch pareho ng sa starex at Sorento. Wala pang reported na problema sa engines ang mga yan. Mga feed back na di maganda sa hyundai at Kia, panahon pa ng hapon yon. Modern na sila at malaki ang naging improvements nila as far as build quality is concerned. Sabi nga ng isang igan natin, nakakuha pa ng award sa ibang bansa. Pero yon nga, ikaw pa rin ang magdedecide which of the two. Kung anong sabi ng puso mo eh

pangit ata ang itsura ng tucson... hehe id better stick to xtrail, at least alam na natin ang performance nyan plus nissan din yan

btw, marami pang ibang choice dyan o...

I've seen pics of the Hyundai Tucson... It would look a lot better if the bumpers were color-keyed instead of the flat black color. However, I'd prolly choose the Nissan X-Trail over The Hyundai Tucson... The X-Trail will have a better re-sale value with its classic look and good reviews.

Xtrail..... pede ba Pathfinder, hehehe.

[eggman]

At least may TCS siya(traction control),twin mufflers at CRDi siya(wala yan sa lumang X-Trail).Ang problema ay driver side airbag lang.Ok na sana yung X-Trail pero yung dash board ay luma parin at grille,well luma rin at Nissan,ewan ang quality.

I beg to differ...

Nissan quality is one of the best! Nasira lang sila before with the old boxtype Sentra, which was in the late '80s to the early 90's. But, now, you will almost never see anyone griping about their Nissan vehicles, namely:

• Patrol
• Urvan
• Cefiro
• Serena
• X-Trail
• Sentra

Even the models prior to the present 2004 & 2005 models were great! I'd say Nissan has definitely lifted itself from the old Sentra debacle.

Hyundai is, likewise, no stranger to lemon units. Remember the early indents of the Starex? That was just around the turn of the century. Units breaking down... Airconditioners failing... Plastic door handles and shift knobs cracking in the Philippine heat... Hyundai is yet to prove its quality with it's latest line of vehicles.

That is because the first batch of Starex was from grey-market importers. These were models that wasn't designed for tropical country conditions.

Right now Hyundai is doing well in America. AFAIK, one of their vehicles have been voted as one of the best buys interms of quality.

luma un dashboard? dko nagetz? ok naman quality ng nissan ah..hehe

[ILuvDetailing]

AFAIK All car manufacturers produce lemons, so lets not debate on that. The X-trail isn't "old" by any standards, and there is a Diesel version but not available here. Why not test drive both vehicles to help in your decision making. One thing I can say about the X-trail, its quick and responsive.

[brito]

yup..its quick and very responsive...

The Tucson won awards so maganda ang quality at performance. I'd first test drive both to be sure I get the right comment. Sana dumating na yung diesel variant ng Xtrail.........

[brain1219]

try the tucson gasoline 4x2 the engine is a 2.0, ive tested it very powerful... and they have a monotone color..... compared to the 4x4 with flat black color bumper......

[cardo]

If it was up to me, I would look beyond the external aspects of the Tucson to buy it. The crdi and 4x4 options would be my target for buying the Tucson at the price level of a 4x2 Gas xtrail considering the added traction of the 4wd, and the thrift of a diesel fed engine.

But if it was my money, I would get the XTRAIL The bad diesel quality in our shores and the new crdi's are like a dark cloud of uncertainty. We dont know if it will cause any damage to the new crdi engines or if the new gen crdi's are up to the task.

I'm in the final stages of deciding between these 2 vehicles (or a Forester 2.0X) but for obvious fuel economy reasons was favouring the Tucson CRDi.
However i've not heard of the bad diesel issue before.

Can you or anybody else expand on this?

[Bogeyman]

Vehicle manufacturers (and oil companies) may have already addressed the 'bad diesel' issue and its effects on the new CRDi engines. Besides, when in doubt, use biodiesel.

That said, my vote goes to the Tucson; the X-Trail never appealed to me in the first place.

I would only get the Tucson kung 4WD variant ang pagpipilian. I test drove the 2.0 4x2 and wasn't impressed by it. Ang maganda nga lang for the Tucson 4x4 diesel ay yung mags niya. Downside: yung diesel niya ay walang VGT for this model (pump-type lang siya)

Sa X-trail naman, okay yung interior niya. Problema nga lang is kung hindi ka sanay sa center-mount gauges, then mahihirapan ka o di mo magugustuhan ito (because of that).

Other than that, I can say they are pretty much neck-and-neck

P.S.
Be aware though na there are other vehicles aside from the above to choose from (ie. Honda "bucktooth" CR-V, Suzuki Grand Vitara, Kia Sportage, etc.)

[OTEP]

For me, if I had to choose between the two, I'd get the Tucson CRDi 4x4 A/T.

But that's just me. Test drive both first.

Btw, monotone is an option on all Tucson units (additional Php5k?)

There are minor revisions to be had on the X-trail for '07 including round reflectors on the rear bumper and different switches for the interior (e.g. round hazard button).
