2011 KIA Sportage (GEN 3)

[kiatkiat]

Short comparo between our Sportage EX 2WD and Patti's Tucson GLS 2WD.

Sa performance, pareho lang. Engine power is the same, pareho din malakas sa gas, currently I average around 6km/L to 7.5km/L.. Akalain mo mas matipid pa yung CR-V 2.4 4WD na binenta para diyan. Pero sana magbago pa after the break-in period. Dapat naman talaga mas matipid kasi smaller engine at FWD lang yung Sportage.

Handling, halos ganun din, medyo mas magaan lang yung feeling pag Sportage ang dala.

Interior space, exactly the same. Hahaha. Mas gusto ko lang yung shift boot ng Sportage parang Mercedes Benz kasi leather wrapped talaga. Mas maganda rin mga cup holders ng Sportage. Gusto ko naman sa Tucson GLS 2WD, leather / fabric combi ang seats.

Features, ayan dito nagkatalo. Yung Sportage panalo sa features kahit 2WD lang, VS. Tucson 2WD. Di ko lubos maisip standard ang DRL, power folding side mirrors, chrome trims at mud guards.

At sa looks, yung Sportage mags nalang ang kulang mukha nang TOTL. Pero ang Tucson 2WD napaka bare ng exterior. No side garnish, no mud guards, different set of grille.

Sana wala ako nakalimutan.. hehehe

cargo cover?

[Starex_Gold]

Parehong may cargo cover. Yung Tucson GL Theta lang walang may cargo cover.

[SIZE=3]From what I read on the Top Gear PH, the CRDi Engine assigned for the Sportage will also come from Hyundai, BUT because Hyundai's priority is to supply their own Units for the time being, rest assured that the supply for Kia will be allocated on a priority basis.. Siguro, unahin ang European market muna in my view. I wont be surprised if the CRDi version wont be released locally till early next year pa...

Electric adjustment ng Lumbar support and
Projector type headlights (this is what I also liked sa Sportage na wala sa Tucson)

Kia / CAC is putting the blame in Hyundai *again*

It's their fault kung bakit ngayon lang nagdatingan ang Sportage. Kasalanan din ng Kia Motors Korea na kulang ang supply nila ng Sportage CRDi. Sa Korea available na CRDi, pati sa European countries.

Electric adjustment ng Lumbar support and
Projector type headlights (this is what I also liked sa Sportage na wala sa Tucson)

Oo nga pala, lumbar support. And yes, projector type low beam. HID nalang kulang busog na talaga hehe!

Also the iPod Cable. For the Tucson, Premium variant lang kasama yung iPod Cable. Pero sa Sportage kasama agad sa EX 2WD palang.

[Starex_Gold]

Hehehehe

Kailan mo pala ilalabas yung Sportage mo sa AutoAccess?

[wahzai_swy]

Hopefully this week with plates na pag labas

[Starex_Gold]

Ah, ayaw mo ilabas ng wala pang plates?

Di ka naman siguro TNT :hysterical:

[wahzai_swy]

Haha, TNT? sa US ba tayo? May minor upgrade pa kasi, tapos mainit na a siya sa mata, mas mainit pag dealer plates

[Starex_Gold]

Di pa yan mainit sa mata.. Di pa masyado kilala yung Sportage tulad ng Tucson na nasa top 3 sa watch list ng mga halang ang bituka

[edquita]
