I guess they are the same ones like in the late sf2 the one with evgt. The engine is a monster, you don't have to worry. The older version engine did not have the variable turbo. The ones they are selling both PHDM and KDM are evgt. The difference between 2.0 and 2.2 is engine displacement, to which the latter has higher HP and Torque. I would recommend getting a 2.2, the SF3 is comparable heavier than a Tucson more muscle through torque will be right for this, thus 2.2 is my choice. KDM models you have an option to choose between the two engine displacement and it also has a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) which definitely emits less pollutants, PHDM models unfortunately does not have them. Disadvantage to the KDM they recommend euro 4 a cleaner diesel as it is really built to handle euro 5 which is much cleaner. Unfortunately we do not have euro 5 diesel yet, euro 4 we have through Unioil. You can use euro 2 which most gas stations carry but expect your DPF filter to regenerate, or go on its self cleaning mode which may emit smoke like belch. It is actually water vapor and CO2, not real smoke. The PHDM model was tuned to Euro 2, then again guys please correct me if I am wrong. In the end, it would be up to you if you want more bells and whistles which is a more than welcome or fancy the PHDM model which for others feel secure through casa warranty. The KDM models are offered with their own casa warranty of 3 years if I remember correctly.
You can order 2wd or front wheel drive model with all the bells and whistles from the grey market. If you are looking for more grip and secure driving I would go for the 4wd version. It goes on 2wd to 4wd automatically anyhow. But it really is what you need and want. Either ways as daily driver you won't regret it.
