Ford Escape 2.3L XLS 4x2 or Hyundai Tucson 4x2 CRDi?

dm11

Hi
I'm choosing between Ford Escape (A/T) and Hyundai Tucson (A/T)for a new SUV. Appreciate your inputs to help me decide. What is the fuel consumption rate for each? What are the pros and cons for each?

Thanks!

CRV ayaw mo? Eh kung wala namang fuel consideration I think its the most comfortable and fun to drive in its class...

Budget is 1.1M max na eh...

Btw, I edited my post na... Would like to know na rin how fuel efficient both vehicles are... Thanks in advance.

my current ave consumption on the 2.3 XLS (current model) is 11.5 kms/liter using E10 fuel. my daily drive is mostly highway though.

on city drives, i get at least 9.5 kms to the liter.

Go get the Hyundai Tucson 4x2 CRDi Unit. My mom bought a Hyundai Tucson CRDi 4x4 and its great! walang sisi so far. I believe that the 4x4 and 4x2 variants of the Hyundai Tucson CRDi have the same engine. The only difference between the two is that the former have this ESP? and 4WD lock. 4x4 variants also got two SRS airbags unlike those sa 4x2. pero sa tingin ko, parehas na parehas lang ang dalawang iyan. no difference at all in terms of interior, exterior and of course the 2.0 CRDi engine

Actually, I already made a thread regarding this matter when my mom was still in the stage of dilemma which to choose among the Kia Sportage 4x4, Hyundai Tucson 4x4 and the Ford escape respectively

Our Tucson FC right now improved a lot, from 7 to 8 km/L dati, now it ranges from 9 to 11 km/L for City driving, then 12 to 14Km/L for highway; I’m not quite sure though for the highway FC. btw, she's using petron diesel max.

Just my two cents.

btw,if you will be getting the ford escape; if i were you, just wait for the USDM 2008/2009 version of Ford Escape coming out this 4th qtr. of this year or baka 1st to 2nd quarter next year. (can somebody confirm this?)


PS: sana maglagay ang Hyundai ng VGT sa tucson. then its going to be perfect. sayang wala eh. :( that is the weakness of CRDi tucsons, lack of power. 112 Ps lang

the 2008/2009 have an all-new look (exterior and interior) and both have more standard features. the 2008 USDM though still carries the same engine (2.3L) plus loses a little more hp (i think 153 from 157 of the current model here) because of the heavier weight. the 2009 USDM on the other hand gets an engine upgrade (2.5L, 170hp, more fuel efficient) and a few more features.

ok naman yung bagong escape ah? 2007 pa lumabas yan di ba?

(this one's the 2008)





in my opinion, the 2008 USDM escape isn't really "that new" in terms of design compared to some of its competitions pero astig pa rin itsura. kung ako papipiliin between escape & tucson, escape na (current model man or yung bago).

PERO, i think you're gonna have a problem if hihintayin mo pa yung 2008 USDM escape kasi i think the base price is more than 1.1m? i'm not sure though but i'm thinking it is.. hmmm pero baka hindi rin... haha labo... kasi sa US $19,000+ yung base price eh..

Thanks! I am actually leaning towards Ford Escape due to its better appearance. I heard though from owners of older Escape models that the interiors are quite flimsy, i.e. buttons easily broken etc. Is this still true to the current model?

letsrockandroll

bakit ayaw mo sir i try yung Kia Sportage. CRDi engine rin siya.

oks naman ang Escape! yeah, i agree, mas maganda exterior ng escape compared sa Tu(c)son.

kayOu

btw, facelifted na naman daw yung escape? naka-display daw sa Philippine International Motor Show... di ako nakapunta kaya di ko alam eh...

grrrr kailan kaya ilalabas yung bagong escape..

Yup... the Ford Escape just got a facelift... was surprised by this actually.

It looks quite nice actually... the interior was also slightly revised.

Between the two, I'll go for the Escape for its looks and kit, despite the overall higher fuel expense.

kayOu

^ ah yeah. ok pala red sa facelifted escape may pagkatribute... sabi dun sa caradvice they (mazda) stopped producing tributes na? (baka sa australia lang) tapos inincorporate yung design ng tribbie sa facelifted escape...

ok naman itsura ng escape ngayon... pero come on! tanda na niya... palita na sana totally (kuga!!!!!! hehe)... tapos pag nafe-facelift naman, unti-unti... sana projector type na lang headlights ng facelifted escape...

... still love ford and the escape though

Actually, I'm now considering other options also:

Mazda Tribute 4x2 A/T
Nissan X-trail 4x2 A/T

Appreciate your inputs on these also. Thanks!

Obvious nmn na mas maganda ung escape sa tucson, kamura lang kaya ng tucson, dito DHS. 59k meron kana, samantalang escape DHS. 100k. Im just wondering bakit Tucson pa ang nacompare mo sa escape instead of CRV, Rav4, Xtierra, Ford Edge, GMC Terrain, Captiva.. Ang pede mo maikumpara sa Tucson eh ung Sportage pre.. I beleive nasa pinas ka kaya hanapin mo ung CRDi para tipid deisel tska maganda performance.. un lng

PS. wag ka bibili Xtrail, mpphase out na yan dahil sa Xtierra.. Kbibili lng ng kflat ko.. Kung may Qashqai jan or Terrain, yan ang irrecommend ko sau..

muntikan na ako bumili ng bagong design na escape dati.. parang pinaliit na ford explorer yung dating...

question..

dito sa mga naka AT na Hyundai Tucson totoo ba na kapag hindi nagamit ng matagal let's say 1 week eh hindi na mag start yung engine? kasi may mga naka experience nyan e.. then yan yung isang bad feedback sa car review blog na nabasa ko...

sa 2 choices, escape

Not really CRV sucks when it comes to off road plus its too slow to accelerate and consume plenty of fuel.

Consider these following csuv

new suzuki vitara



Jeep patriot



Nissan x trail (which I own)





or Hummer
