Fuel Consumption?
Handling?
Safety?
Design?
Size?
Features?
Thanks
I'm curious how the iStop system of CX5 Pro fares in real world. But I'd choose CX5 anytime for overall value.
fuel consumption i think pareho lang. mataas km/li ng cx5 e. mas mura nga lang ang diesel. pero malaking bagay yung free pms
thanks guys. iniisip ko kasi kunwari 10% more ang mileage ng CX5 sa tucson, tapos mga 10% ang difference ng gas and diesel, baka pareho lang hehehe! pero yung PMS parang magandang deal nga yanparang mas gusto ko na CX5

Try to test drive. Kasama ung Tucson sa pinagpilian ko dati but I only considered the diesel variant.
Fuel Consumption - Tucson since diesel will always trump over gasoline, even if same km/L, mas mura ang diesel.
Handling - Tucson feels numb and not so precise. Kia Sportage is more precise. CX-5 has a lot of feedback, very responsive, very precise, very predictable. You actually feel in total control of the vehicle. In short, a lot better than Tucson.
Safety - CX-5 has a higher rating.
Design - Subjective. Exterior-wise pareho silang maganda. Interior-wise, very different. Tucson looks flashy, CX-5 looks simple and mature.
Size - CX-5 is slightly larger, especially sa trunk.
Features - CX-5 has more features even on the 2.0 FWD version like dual climate control and tire pressure monitor.
Additional things worthy of mention:
Power - Tucson since diesel.
Quality - Tucson looks good but feels cheap. A lot of hard plastic. Mazda feels premium with soft touch materials and well-assembled pieces.
Maintenance - Mazda has Yojin3 (free labor and parts maintenance for 3 years), schedule is every 10K kms. Tucson has overpriced maintenance cost (around P15K) with schedule of every 5k or 7k kms.
Seriously, Kia Sportage is a much better compact SUV than its Hyundai Tucson sibling. Consider Subaru Forester (CX-5's rival in terms of driveability) or Honda CR-V (better practicality, boring drive) to compete with CX-5 instead.
yup consider ko din subaru pero di ko gaano type yung design hehe! di ko na gaano type honda e![]()
I don't really mind the strict PMS schedule. For one, it's already free for three years. Secondly, i am strict myself with regards to PMS.
I was also in the same dilemma before. But CX-5 has better handling, great fc, looks more classy, slightly bigger than tucson while tucson is cheaper.
I chose CX-5
I may be a bit biased, but CX5 will trump the Tucson (except perhaps in sales) any which way you'll want to look at it.
umorder na ako CX-5 woohoo!! Red AWD! walang additional payment sa red color and may 50K discount =)
