Montero GTV bigger, best selling, newly released and cheaper by 100k.

may friend ako dalawa ang montero sport ( 4x4 at 4x2 hindi pa GTV), may client siya na may 4x2 santa fe evgt pina test drive sa kanya. nung nagkita kami sabi niya "pare ang lakas pala ng makina ng santa fe at ang ganda ng suspension...akala ko malakas na yung montero namin."

sabi ko na lang third generation common rail na kasi santa fe with piezo injector, gamit ng mga german diesel like bmw at mercedes. yung gtv montero nasa second generation common rail pa lang. pero sa durability ng suspension lamang ang montero dahil pang offroad ang design nito unlike santa fe na pang city driving talaga.

advise ko test drive both cars then you decide

Kaya masasabi natin Sir SG na kung VGT lang pinagusapan, pinaglumaan na yan ng Santa Fe. kaya ngayon e-VGT because of the electronic control. Siguro pag nag e-VGT din ang MS ang Santa Fe ay naka i-VGT na (intelligent VGT) or sVGT -smart VGT or ssVGT supersmart VGT... ad infinitum...the Hyundai VGT department will always be a step ahead!

Doesn't mean na newer technology that it is better at the end of the day.

Newer technology, may seem ahead but if demand for it is low of course, price for repairs are higher, because of the low demand.

Pero nashock ako ah, 194hp at 436Nm na pala ang Santa Fe 2.2 E-VGT ngayon. I thought na close sa 172hp at mga 350Nm lang, na performance ng Montero Sport.

Well, maybe you are right. But at the end of the day, newer technology is what delivers. Big companies will not allocate huge budgets on R&D if newer technology will make their cars go backward. Especially cars. That's why car makers are always trying to outdo each other with their new technological breakthroughs. It may not sell to the public for various reasons but the idea is newer technology will always be the pursuit of car makers.

Demand is a different issue. Pricing could be an influence, other factors may play in but a good car with technological advancement will always be a good car.

NO, don't get shocked. You are still off by 3 more horses which is quite considerable if you squeeze in more power to a 2.2L engine. Now compare that with the touted new marks of hp and torque of the VGT MS but the displacement I believe is 3.2 liter. Now this one should get you more high voltage.

2.5 nalang ang MS sir, wala ng 3.2

Ok 2.5L pala. At granted na 175 horses sya, kayang kaya yan even sa 07-09 na SF. Not the 2010 model ang katapat nyan in that case. the 2010 in comparison is an overkill. Though not proven on a dyno but initial tests of a pre facelifted Santa Fe 07-09 2.2L model fitted with a Racechip or an Italian box could approximate such output or even better.
