Tanong ko lang po kung may idea kayo kung magkano yung mga high-end diesel variants ng mga SUVs na ito sa Philippine market ngayon? Thanks!

Sorento EX is around 1.35M.

Tucson CRDi 4WD is around 1.2M.

yung EX ba ng Sorento diesel? anong mas maganda sa dalawa (Tucson or Sorento) specs-wise?

May EX variant na rin ang Sorento Diesel...

Spec-wise halos pareho lang sila... kung kailangan mo ng space & 4WD >>> Sorento.

sorento can go 4-low (for more serious off-roading).

The Tucson is more of an 'all wheel drive' car with a non-adjustable (automatic) 4wd system.

The Sorento is a more serious 'truck' with a full truck frame, underbody armor, live rear axle etc. It's 4WD system also operates in two ranges. High range (2wd and 4wd) for high speed road and off-road work and a 4L (low range) setting for torque multiplication (torque doubles, while speed is halved) and extreme engine braking.

sir otep, does the tucson also operate in these two ranges or not? what are the differences between the "all wheel drive" of the tucson and the 4WD of the sorento? can the tucson be taken for some off-roading too? sorry for the many questions. i'll appreciate the answers!
