Hi folks. I just wish to know what the differences are feature-for-feature between the current Santa Fe R-series 2.2L 2WD and the Kia Sorento 7-seater Diesel A/T.

Kahit papano, may idea na ko sa specs ng Santa Fe based sa HARI website pero di ako sigurado kung accurate yung info sa Kia Phils website re the Sportage. Totoo bang may 13 variants ang Sportage sa Pinas at wala silang lahat pinagkaiba sa specs bukod sa engine at seating capacity?

I also saw in the Hyundai thread about an alleged spy pic of the upcoming 3rd Gen Santa Fe. Lalabas na kaya dito sa Pinas yun by next year o sa 2013 pa?

Salamat mga bro.

when i was going to get the 5str EX e VGT variant of the sorento here are the noticable features:
push start
dual auto climate control

other else are more or less pretty much the same with the sta fe. I would get the sorento tho as the new gen SF might be around the corner next year

Thanks sir. Just saw the latest spy pics of the new gen SF showing the interior, looks promising. Will probably wait for undisguised photos of it, then decide.

Sorento pa rin ako ... looks better for me IMO. But those two perform well.

Just curious, pwede kaya magpainstall ng 3rd row sa 5 seater Sorento sa Korean parts shops in Banawe like Seiring? Considering na ang laki laki ng price gap between the 5 seater and the 7 seater.

I always liked more the Sorento than the Santa Fe. And it seems to be more comfortable.
