saw yesterday the midsize santa fe 2.2 CRDI VGT turbo sa sm pampanga, di pa ba worth the price tag 1.5 M??? considering the all good amenities, 150 PS diesel engine, Front wheel drive, All independent suspension (mcperson front, multi link rear), the + - automatic tranny, self levelling suspension system, wide body ( wider than fortuner & 2006 RAV4, considerable good looks, 7 seaters ( 3rd row foldable ), ABS. EBD, airbag, cooler center console, etc...

Here is my Sta Fe got it last week here in bacolod and had all the black running board, part of the front bumper and part of the rear bumper painted body color. I also changed the wheels and tires to a Dolce 20" mags with 40 series hankook ventus tires. The ride is very good and I am quite satisfied with the power. I based my comparisson on an X Trail 2.0 as also drive one. Sound System is quite okey 4 speaker system and an mp3 ready dash and the controls for the radio on the steering wheel is very convenient.

sir sutan post naman other observations...fuel efficiency, acceleration matter, handling, response of the tranny, comparable ride to what car? ok ba sa mga bumps etc..... un bang levelling suspension nya is ok? third row b is comfy? headlight ba malakas....etc...tnx...

[edsgail1230]

*sutan, may pic ka ng dash? and also CRDi sa'yo?

[IMm29]

Third row is comfy for kids. Adults will have to crouch tho.

edsgail1230 - It is CRDI, for fuel efficiency I have not figured it out yet when I got it from the dealer i filled it up full so far after mga 85kms the guage only move a little bit, handling is very good acceleration is superb parang auto and if you step on the gas pedal hard didikit ka sa silya sa acceleration nya I could say it is comparable to my x trail and civic. The third row seat is okey naman for me I tried sitting on it im 5'5" and there is ample leg room and the aircon vents with blower swith is an extra bonus. The light are galing the parklights looks like a robot eye and the low beam and high beam is good enougf.

oldblue - yes it is CRDI

I will post some pictures tonight or early tomorrow morning of the dash and the lights (will have to wait till its dark for you guys to appreciate the headlights and the lights on the dash which is indiglo/indigo? blue)

eto na ba mismo ung bagong labas na modelo???

magkano? P1.5M??

pwede!

pero sana may masmalaking diesel engine pa!

kahit ung 2.5L, para mas okay sa long drive..as in long drive.

[edsgail1230]

Yan nga po sir kiper ang na release dito!!!
ok na cguro sir kiper ang 2.2 CRDI producing 150 Horsepower!!! Magaan naman body kse di po ba car based suv ito, walang chassis, Matipid pa naman cguro kesa 2.5 CRDI ng Starex with 145 PS, medyo malakas lumaklak ng diesel starex CRDI..
