Kia Soul 1.6 LX vs Tucson 2.0 GL

[yeoplas]

Dear Sir's,
I am leaning towards both cars for my wife. The considerations are ,
1. We have 2 small kids
2. height is also a concern because we live in QC which is always flooded during heavy rainfall.
3. The car should be small for parking.
4. Could be used as my second car during color coding, Im now driving a montero sport 2.5
5. Main purpose is driving the kids to school, hospital, etc - driver is wifey
6. Not after resale value

Recently, the Kia dealer in E Rod said that their price is 975 K for the SOUL LX. I saw a thread that said they are selling it at 875? Is this true?
Are they going to have a diesel variant of SOUL here ? Thanks

As of last press-release, no plans for a diesel version Kia SOUL in the Philippines.

Tucson for me but problem yun availability
Pero ilalabas na ang new sportage before the end of the year

May approximate price na kaya ang kia sportage na bago modelo?

ang alam ko yan 975K eh yun 2.0 Kia Soul na. 20% kasi discount ng Kia ngaun basta sa CASA ka mag-inquire at wag sa internet

My vote goes to the Tucson as well.

Separately, ever considered something more common, like an Innova or APV? I think these can hold their own height-wise, and can be parked in relatively tight spaces.
