December 10th, 2012 11:17 PM #1Hello fellow members. I am fairly new to this forum and I am thankful for all the information I received. Our new Innova 2013 was delivered last week. We are selling our 2010 Vios to purchase either KIA Sportage or KIA Sorento. We need a 5-seater SUV.
I am having a hard time deciding whether to get a Sportage or Sorento. Please help.
We only need a 5-seater vehicle which runs on diesel fuel.
Thanks in advance.

pick the sorento if you put a premium on space. i was contemplating before whether i should get the sorento LX when the sportage still wasn't available. and put it the missing stuff one at a time. that would have been interesting.
but i still picked the sportage because of the package (bang for buck). i was also thinking that if space is needed, that's what a 7-seater larger SUV is for. for now, i'm happy with the sporty as a small CUV

December 11th, 2012 12:18 AM #3Thanks for the reply fleas. Appreciate it really.
In terms of performance, which is better than the two?

The 2.2L obviously has more power, 181 hp vs 197 hp 392 Nm vs 436 Nm. I don't know about the power-to-weight ratio of the two. Having driven the Santa Fe, it feels like the Santa Fe has more pull. However, that was the dual-exhaust version. Not sure if that is a factor.
The 2.0L obviously would be more economic.
But if you want the power and the economy, you could always buy a race chip pro and attach it to the Sporty (or the Sorento for more power and slight FC improvement). Cue: shameless plug I have one on sale on Sulit

Ang hindi ko maintindihan, yung 2.2L Santa Fe namin mas matipid pa sa 2.0L Tucson ko
Siguro dahil 4WD yung Tucson. Kaya mahirap sabihin kung alin mas matipid sa Sportage vs Sorento haha.
Maganda yun 2013 Sorento LX, pero Sportage parin vote ko. Wag lang sand track kunin mong color

If you can get them for similar prices, the Sorento is definitely the way to go.
You don't get that stupid decapitation-special rear door on the Sorento, for one. And the interior space is much better.
If both are diesel, fuel economy won't be too far off, and the 2.2 has titanic shove compared to the 2.0. Enough to pull the front end of the Sorento sideways if you boot it from a stop.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

^ yes, the Innova D4D is supported but you will need a harness that's for 2.5L engine in the Innova.
For more information on the RC and vehicle compatibility, you can go to their site: chiptuning-what-is-it/.
FYI, my RC pro is now reserved so I uninstalled it about a month ago. I can feel the difference especially during hard acceleration
