Tucson Gas vs CRDi

Depende sa needs mo yan. Kung hindi ka naman masyado sa highway at hindi ka masyadong hataw magmaneho. Pwede na yung gas engine.

At some point maiisip mo makakatipid ka.

Kasi ang diesel sa SRP palang minsan talo ka na. 17.3K palang tinatakbo ng Tucson ko. So far hindi pa lumalampas ng P6000 ang maintenance cost ko. Pero yung iba ang tataas ng maintenance cost. Tamang diskarte lang ginagawa ko. So parang hindi rin nalalayo yung maintenance cost ko sa mga naka gas. Full tank ko twice a month lang. Umaabot naman ng 350kms to 450kms ang isang full tank eh.

Diesel yung sa'kin. Very satisfied. Lakas ng torque.

Thanks for the inputs. The P40K difference could be even larger if 1. Gasoline-Diesel Price is over P6/liter, 2. Greater than 10% for hi-way driving, 3. Maintenance Cost Difference is less than P6,000/yr and 4. Driving Style.

The SRP difference is one of the reasons of my comparison.

Thanks to everyone who gave their inputs.

Tsaka hindi lang 40K ang difference.

Tucson GLS Theta II 2WD A/T - 1.158M
Tucson GL R-eVGT 4WD A/T - 1.338M

Price difference is 180K. There's no 2WD version of the new Tucson R-eVGT.

The 40k is the yearly difference on the fuel & maintenance cost only. The SRP difference can be reached after the 4th year of the car in my computation. Price difference of the insurance is not included in my computation.

Ah ganun ba. If the power of the diesel engine is not important for you, yung Theta II 2WD nalang kunin mo.

We intend to use the car for more that 5 years, tulad ng revo ko na 11 years na... kaya makakatipid ako sa haba ng serbisyo ng car... iwas na lang kung lemon or major repairs during the lifetime...

[Starex_Gold]

After 5 years, yung maintenance ng CRDi engine medyo magiging mabigat na sa bulsa. Pero depende sa mileage yan.

Gawin mo yung ginawa ni rockiee_s sa coolbear niya. Isang taon na hindi pa umaabot ng 3000kms. :hysterical:

The SRP difference could be recovered in 4 years for diesel...maybe after the 5th year palit na lang ng car..sana maganda ang resale value ng tucson...thanks again

Ok naman resale value ng Hyundai ngayon lalo na kapag diesel.

I have seen a couple of 2nd hand Tucson and mataas nga resale value.

As long as you take good care of your car, gas or diesel won't matter. Owning a car is 80% driver and 20% durability of the car. So kahit naka save ka sa fuel pero kung nasisira naman mga parts or poor maintenance, you will end up spending more. Just go with the best features and freebies.

Plus concider the load most of the time. Gas for single/light loading, while for heavy stuff, diesels are still best.

nasa ganito din akong situation before, initially im planning to get the 2.0 GLS. nung nag issue ako ng check for reservation sa casa may nakakwentuhan akong mechanics sa showroom at binanggit sa kin na diesel na lang ang kunin kasi ang tulin nga daw. based yun sa experience nila nung pinick up nila sa batangas port yung mga oto papunta sa casa. sa gas daw nabibitin sila pero ang diesel daw ang lakas. kaya nagpalit ako ng order diesel ang kinuha ko kasi i prefer performance. no regrets. Go Revgt!!!

[Starex_Gold]

Sa Theta II nabibitin daw sila pero sa R-eVGT sobra naman daw ang lakas??

[GTi]

Nabuking! Puro kaskasero ang mga nagpipickup ng kotse sa port! Pati ba naman yung mga Theta II nabibitin? Naku mga spoiled brats na mga yan.

oo nga talagang kaskasero yang mga "jockey" ng casa. i usually frequent SLEX at madalas may nakakasabay akong mga naka convoy na brand new vehicles, hataw ang mga yan parang nagkakarera pa nga sila among one another e. biruin mo mo ang exact words e "nabibitin daw sila sa gas" hehehehehe

Yan din sinabi ni EJ sa'kin before.

Nung December 2009 lumabas yung Tucson. Puro 2.0 Theta II 2WD. Mabilis daw eh.

Kaso nung dumating na yung mga R-eVGT. Game over
