Kia Sorento vs. Hyundai Santa fe 2014 both with 3rd row

[bernard616]

Guys pa help naman o. Anu ba mas maganda sa dalawa.. Ung santa fe, hindi ung grand santa fe ha. Feed Back is appreciated guys

[Egan101]

Similar platform ata yung Santa Fe at Sorento, as Hyundai and Kia are sister companies. They should be about the same size. Sa local pricing na lang nagkakatalo yan.

subjective.... better test drive for your comparison...

[ACarEnthusiast]

The mid spec and TOTL Sta Fe has more features compared to the Sorento. Base models almost the same but the Sorento is more affordable. Sta Fe is more Euro inspired while the Sorento is more American IMHO. Performance mostly the same the suspension of the Sorento more stiffer. It all comes down on budget and what you want in the car.

Mas madame ata TOTL feature ng Sorento. Pero mas mura ung Santa Fe. ung second row seating nung Santa Fe na sslide, giving more room to the 3rd Row, pero mas maganda ang ingress/egress ng Sorento sa 3rd row seats. Meron pa ba kayo ma add for comparison?

The two are basically twins, like the Escape and Tribute. Same engine, same transmission, same chassis. It all boils down to preference. AFAIK, the TOTL Sorento is cheaper than the TOTL Santa Fe.

I'd go for the Sorento. I like it's styling more.

OT

This had me googling on how both SUV's look.

Copy cat Audi's

Ganda nga ng looks ng mga korean cars nowadays. Still waiting if its reliable and durable since di namin kami every 3 years nagpapalit ng sasakyan. IMHO Sta. Fe looks vs. Sorento performance.

sorento vs sta.fe
for bigger space in the 1st and 2nd row st.fe
engine sta fe
price sorento
ground clearance sorento
kia and hyundai are sister company

Engine and tranny same lang yan, as with space. Sa features lang nagkakaiba, mas higher end ang interior ng santa fe.
Sorento has lower acquisition cost.
Cost of maintenance mas mura ng konti ang sorento.

[viper888]

There is no right or wrong answer.

[leodawesome]

The SF looks more upscale to me. But then again its a matter of preference and budget. The SF for me is overpriced though.

Agree ako sir pang Presyong prado and xc60 and pajero

[dct]

Parehong pareho lang yan. Looks lang nagkakatalo. At price

[viper888]

It's just like picking between a pair of korean twins, for example....

[greatauror28]

Test drive them both.
Seat in the 3rd row so you'll get the feeling of how cramped or how permissive the seats would be.
If price matters the most, then you won't be getting the more expensive one obviously.

I'm in the same dilemma like yours 2 years ago but settled with the Sorento.

If only you get the SX/SX-L trim we have here, you won't get second thoughts about getting a Sorento.
In fairness to Sta.Fe, i like their turbo model.

yung grand sta. fe is 2.2million cx9 and explorer price range, yung sta fe naman is 1.7 -1.8 million, i checked cause i'v been eyeing this sinve a friend told me it handles like a european suv.

na lessen na ata yung import tax sa korea regarding vehicles.

*viper.... nagising ako sa pic ah

[frostmourn]

Yeah. Its over price yet nagkalat dito sa amin ang sta. Fe. Hehe ganda ng looks ng sta. Fe pero may ford na kamuka ng sta. Fe, I dont know sino nauuna sa design pero nagulat ako sa ford ang ganda. OT na. Buy a car that will suite your style.

[greatauror28]

Oo nga pala, nakalimutan ko na HARI ang Hyundai corp dyan sa Pinas diba? They're more of sosy grey market dealers pero they always come short of after-sales customer service - at least that's what i've read in the very long thread about the Starex. I would've thought Sta.Fe wouldn't be so different. Or are they?

Ang Kia may Columbia Motors so that's one point for the Sorento.

[downsouth]

Same position right now but I'm leaning towards to the Sorento. The Santa Fe is at P1.7m just add a bit more and you get AWD, leather seats, feels like the sorento has a bit bigger space on the 3rd row, panoramic sunroof.

Thing is CAMPI is just 1 month away and they might introduce new models so I'm patiently waiting
