[StockEngine]

The tucson has the nu 2.0 engine. The kia uses the old theta 2.0
Tucson has drl lights with adjustable projection lamps.
Tucson has bigger rim and tires.
Tucson has immobilizer. kia no


Only small downside is lack of abs. kia has this.
kia has eletric folding sidr mirrors.

my vote goes to tucson.

Kia: Walang immobilizer pero may electric folding mirrors? Hyundai: May DRL and bigger wheels, pero walang ABS? Where are their priorities?!?

I also noticed that this version of the Sportage is stripped-down. No DRL (previous model has it), no side-repeater (previous model also has it), not sure about the other ommissions. The only positive addition is the rear aircon vents.

The Tucson feels bigger (subjective?), new engine (more fuel efficient?), didn't notice the drl/projection lamps in this trim. The downside is that it will be replaced by a newer one in the next few months, which would make this current model outdated. Any news on when they're face-lifting the Sportage?

Both seem lacking in the safety department...

I dont know hehehe. I just looked at the brochures. I guess HARI is just differentiate the brands. I love the nu2.0 engine though hehehe. torque down low is good. and the 6at is smart in the city and highway.

kia interior makes it feel small. tucson interior is better imo.

kia will introduce the tiger nose on the sportage next year. they just released the sorento with the new design philosophy soon its younger sibling will get.

mega savings on the older models. the tucson looks fine as long as there is drl hehehe. dont worry about the a/c, vkool tints fixes that.

That's what I felt when I went inside, the Tucson seems bigger. I didn't notice if it has rear aircon vents though, but I was sure there was in Sportage.

Common diesel engines are easier to troubleshoot than gasoline engines. It is heavier built due to its high torque and compression. This makes it more durable. Sample na lang ang diesel engines ng PUJ's na until now naaasahan.

Yan yung oldschool, pero not the CRDi's. Old school gasoline engines are still easier to troubleshoot and repair compared with oldschool diesels.

Yung kapitbahay namin, ino-overhaul ang 4k engine nya, mga kalahating araw lang ata kailangan. Nagpalit ng piston rings file at sand paper lang haha!
