ot: ang rexton po ba parang musso before? or comparable na rin sya sa ml-series ng benz?

OT: I guess you will have to be the judge of that.

For me, it feels like an MB M-Class which can actually go off-road.

EX diesel na sorento wla bang abs,ebd and passenger side airbag? also if you got a budget 1.2M unit only, sorento base model diesel manual LX 1.198m but short on safety features and ammenities, Tucson automatic with sports mode 1.198m? no plans on going offroad.

Advice ko lang, go for the EX diesel. Konting diperensya lang sa presyo.

I dunno if it's because of the Sorento's wider stance and lower ground clearance, but it feels more nimble than the Fortuner. I would choose it over the 2.7 gas and 2.5 diesel Fortuner but I'd change the stock 225/75/16's with 245/70/16's.

The EX 2.5 CRDI costs P1.45M locally

The factory price is US$13,633 (Kia Motors Korea), so it comes out to P763,448 (*P56:US$1)

The difference is P686,552 which consists of :
Freight (Korea to Phils.) (small)
Insurance (small)
Handling/Arrastre (small)
Distributor's Margin (small)
Dealer's Margin (small)
and the biggest of all - Excise Tax/VAT/Other Taxes & Tarriffs (around 45%~55% of landed cost?)

Laki talaga kinikita ng gobyerno natin!
