2010 Montero vs 2010 Tucson GLS Gas

[chedv31]

Hi All,

Good day to you guys!

Would like to get your utmost opinion on what to get. Factors that i currently consider are the following:

1. cost analysis on 5-10 year usage which comes relatively cheaper, initial pricing, operational cost and maintenance cost. etc.
2. dealer delivery time.
3. performance vs needs.

as u might all know, 2010 Tucson is a hot cake and unit delivery right now is very hard. i ve been waiting for quite some time and they havent given me a specific timeline on this.

whilst montero is readily available but initial purchase cost is high. 1.158M compared to 1.3M for montero. i want to justify/convince myself if i really need a montero or tucson would do.

need your inputs guys..thanks!

The Montero's extra ground clearance will help with rough roads, but in low traction situations, it won't be any better off-road than any other 2WD vehicle.

Nag down kami ng montero nung october, nakuha na namin end na ng december last year Milano white 4x2. Yung sa tucson Silky Bronze GLS November kami nag down nakuha na Jan '10 na.


Mahirap ipag compare yung dalawa kasi magkaiba silang category. Para sakin mas sulit ang montero since 7 seater siya at pwede pang light offroading at mataas ang ground clearance. Pero sa ride quality sa tucson ako . Warranty ng Hyundai is 5 years while sa Mitsu is 3 lang.

Mas mahal maintenance ng Montero since diesel pero mura naman Fuel niya. Tucson na Gas mahal fuel pero mas mura maintenance.

Sa performance parang parehas lang sila sa hatak eh. Sa ride quality lang sila nagkakatalo at ground clearance. Depende na lang siguro sa needs mo.

AFAIK up to now the waiting time for the Tucson will be longer than the wait of the Montero.

Cheaper to maintain, Tucson. It's gas, diesel cars tend to have much more expensive maintenance than the gas variants. Well, except for the crosswind & the adventure though. :hysterical:

The Montero is only " for you " IF ...

-- your place is prone to minor flooding.
-- you need the extra 2 seats
-- you go off-road often

If ever one of those said is applicable on you ... then don't be skeptical anymore. Grab the Montero.

However, the ride of the 2 may differ. Montero might be a little harsher than the Tucson BUT definitely SOFTER than Fortuner. :hihihi:

wow thanks for those inputs guys...im carefully studying my options. keep em comin...

[renzo_d10]

Are you open in considering other choices as well ?

The Honda CRV and the Mazda CX-7 can be also included.

why not the new fortuner 2.5? ka-presyo na ng montero 4x2.
and isn't tucson too small on the inside?
diesel versus gas? the difference in the cost of fuels, will probably cover the "extra maintenance costs" of the diesel.
if it were me, i'd opt for the fortuner 2.5 . but hey! if you really look at the passenger space figures, the innova is just as big as the fortuner on the inside.. much cheaper pa..
btw, what are you buying a vehicle for? perhaps that is the more important question.

[renzo_d10]

Diesel fortuner ? Heh. Goodluck. :hysterical:

Have you heard on the still occurring D4D issues ?

[jmpet626]

Meron pa din palang issues yung D4-D? Kala ko resolved na yun
