HARI's prices? Too expensive in my opinion.
4x2 M/T should be 1.4M
4x2 A/T should be 1.6M
4x4 TOTL should be 1.9M
250k ang difference compared sa kuha ko sa 2011.
+
new design
push start
led tail
-
gps (skypine china)
auto wiper ??
same engine ba?
Mukhang Forester(1.7), crv(1.675), at explorer(2.2?) na yung kalaban nya, hindi na fortuner at Montero. Sana +150k lang ang diff or kung 250k man, sana leather seats(kahit leatherette lol) at panoramic na
If it was as feature packed as a GT-V or 3.0V, it'd be way underpriced at 1.768M.
The fresher design (inside and out) alone, to me, is worth at least 100k.
The superior engine is worth another 100k.
There's also the space and the comfort.
Mahal yung Santa Fe compared to the current competition because it's a better car. Hyundai usually prices their products well, and should demand turn out to be lower than expected, you can expect the Santa Fe to get discounts. But if things go as predicted and the general public accept the car and its pricing warmly, then expect the Santa Fe's price to stay put.
ang mahal na nya. tinanggal pa ang rain sensor ng wipers sa 4x2 na stock naman sa 2010 model. anyway, first release lang naman yan. malamang after 1-2 years yung extra features nung 4x4 ilalagay na din sa 4x2. curious din ako sa reverse camera. laking tulong lalo na pag naka dark tints. pati kita mo kung meron mga bata na naglalaro sa likod bago umatras.
meron reverse cam and 2010-2012 SF (yung facelifted)
Let's see how the Santa Fe (Gen 3) fares with its competition. The local SUV market is now more crowded than ever, so I'm wondering how much brand/model loyalty will be worth nowadays. I've yet to see the SF in the flesh, but it does look good.
IMO, hyundai's strategy is to create a new SUV category within the 1.6 - 2.2M price range. They can't compete in the sub 1.5M range because that is already crowded with the montero fans club, nor do they want to compete with the explorer /pajero luxury. So this price range which seems void of a competitor except for Kia perhaps is the most lucrative playing field. Same thing as how the camera manufacturers are positioning their micro 4/3 models in between the point and shoot and SLRs.
With this pricing strategy, Hyundai is thus saying that we are better than a montero but value for money compared to a pajero. They can't go lower than 1.5M or else, it will be deemed as people's car.
I'm excited at how the introduction of the Sta Fe G3 will affect the market. I could sense that Kia will be the most affected by this. Although the Sorento is a great SUV, it's kinda lost in its positioning. With all the variants, it's trying to grab all markets from the 1M to 2M As such, consumers are confused if the Sorento is a montero, a CRV, a Pajero. Something is terribly wrong with their marketing and in effect, affects its identity.
Yes, I meant not enough loaded for the price. Wala yung Dual Zone auto climate, immobilizer, and others compared to the a bit cheaper sorento EX. Sa bagay 18 inch Rims and ESP plus nya. Pwede na rin. Sana mura pa ng konti.
Agree, yung GPS touch screen kung di OEM, di malaking kawalan yun. Di naman maganda.
Which is why the outgoing Santa Fe was a steal, especially if you put technical aspects above everything else. Thing is, the outgoing Santa Fe had a dated interior (with cheesy wood trim) and even the elegant exterior gets tiring after over half a decade.
Compared to the 1KD-FTV and the 4D56 of the competitors, the 2.2L R is simply sublime. More power, more linear powerband, better fuel efficiency.
gingawa na nga lang freebies ng Montero yun mga rear camera and touch HU eh. tapos sa Sta Fe parang pang-premium pa.
with regards to Phil. condition i.e. roads, the Montero is meant for this. etong 2nd Gen Sta Fe, lover not a fighter. ibig sabihin pang porma lang. to buy 3rd gen sta Fe - to buy another weakling lover at that pushed up price then talaga yabang na lang yan car na yan, and for what it's still Korean BTW
Officially release na ba ang Gen3 Sta Fe ng HARI? Saw a white one on display sa Hyundai Bicutan.
Siguro kahawig nito yung local Premium
At sana ganito yung leather seats
Mukhang Australian Spec yung SF. Nasa right side na yung SF at CRDi na yung badge.
