Xtrail 200 vs. Tucson 2.0 CVVT

[kewl_head]

We are in search for a new car, which among the two is better in terms of: 1.) Fuel Economy 2.) Handling/Performance 3.) Ride Comfort (some review says Xtrail is quite bumpy at the rear passenger---my daughter easily get car sick)
4.) Cabin size (we are a "tall family)

I'm open to other suggestion. Budget is up to 1.3M

[Ventoy]

Xtrail still facelifted with an old design Go for Tucson for more modern look

[aejhayl17]

by that budget, its large enough for a base model mitsu Montero Sport which seats 7 and bigger than the two

[renzo_d10]

With a budget of 1.3M for just the unit itself, you can opt for larger SUV's.

BUT, I presume that you didn't consider this simply because your daughter gets car sick so easily.

Between your choices, I`d pick the tucson ... but if you're open to other choices I`d recommend you the Toyota Camry & Honda CR-V.

i dunno pero mas gusto ko yung Xtrail than the Tucson.

mas macho dating para sakin. hehe

[digitel]

Hmmm, for me get the tucson, parang maluluma na itsura nung X-Trail eh (sorry for the owners IMO lang naman ) compared sa tucson.

Why not get a monty?

[tsupermario]

or an everest

[renzo_d10]

Hmm ... mukhang sensitive masyado daughter ng TS so I guess hindi sakanya pwede mga everests, monteros & fortuners.

I'm still driving a 2004 Xtrail and so far it still performs well and sometimes better than the new SUVs. Suspension is still one of the best. Compared to CRV, Xtrail has softer chairs so it's much comfortable during long trips. Compared to Escape, Xtrail has a softer ride. Escape is bumpy IMO. I haven't tried the new Tucson yet so I can't compare. The best way is to drive test both vehicles with your daughter so you won't have any regrets in the future.

Just a thought. Try and check the dimensions of the rear door of both SUVs. It makes a huge difference when you're loading an appliance that comes in a huge box (i.e. flatscreen TVs, washing machines, etc.).

[digitel]

Hmmm, I think you can bring your daughter with you when you test drive those SUVs so that you may know how she feels when riding one, since she is mainly your concern. hehehe.

[niky]

The Escape's ride is already better than that of the CR-V, which is a bit stiff. The new Tucson is also a bit stiff, but I have never felt the ride of the Escape or Tucson to be nauseating (the CR-V is borderline, but not bad... we've done really long distance driving in that).

I had an xtrail and all i can say its the most comfy among SUV's i had and tried just like riding a sedan, the only problem with this its design is quite old already. I saw the new xtrail its still not available here but the body design looks almost the same only its taller. If you're not particular with the looks go for xtrail but try to ride the tucson with your daughter first.

But I really love the design of the new tucson if the ride is unnoticeable i strongly recommend tucson.

Diba x-trails are known to be swallowing gas a lot ?

Mismo!

yung sa GF ko nag aaverage lang ng 6.5km/L dito sa city. 200X lang yun ha.

yes masarap sakyan yung may ari este yung X-Trail :naughty2: kasi soft talaga yung seats, hindi stiff yung suspension (pero dapat yung ganun klaseng suspension ay para sa Luxury cars.) talaga naman medyo stiff ang suspension ng mga SUV eh.

engine: can't compare kasi CRDi R e-VGT yung Tucson ko. Syempre talo sya dun.
interior: 200X vs. GLS 2WD, mas marami features yung Tucson. leather seats na rin.
exterior / design: kailangan pa ba itanong kung alin mas maganda?

Tucson ang panalo dito. Idagdag mo pa yung 5 years warranty ng Hyundai

[yapoy86]

mas maganda tucson.. mas bago at macho..

yung xtrail kasi luma na design tapos nasa gitna yung gauges parang vios.. medyo girlash ang dating sa akin pag nasa gitna yung gauge eh..

2 rows lang naman yan xtrail at tucson and mostly yung 2nd row ang pinaka malambot na upuan sa isang sasakyan kasi nasa gitna ka ng suspension.. pero kung sa 7 seater like montero for sure mahihilo si daughter sa 3rd row

Malakas nga mas matipid pa yung 2.7vvti fort ko

[sachiel]

FC lng ang only complaint ko sa Xtrail. I average also around 6.5km/L city driving. That's why i am waiting for the new Xtrail with the MR20 engine. Sabi raw mas matipid yun new engine. Or sana ilabas yun diesel variant. Pero ride wise, Xtrail can still beat most of the new SUVs launched last year.

[niky]

New X-Trail with an MR20? You mean this one?

Most 2.0 CUVs suck gas like crazy. The second gen CRV got as low as 4 km/l in the city... with a manual transmission. The only relatively economical CUV before was the RAV4 1.8. The new 2.0 CR-V is economical, but it still gets 6s.

Ano yung XTronic CVT, Niky?
