Wow finally launched. I hope the price is lower than the RM136k.

I have just driven the Hyundai Tucson and I must admit the car is very smooth and quiet on the highway. It feels solid. The only downside is it feels underpowered.

I hope the sportage has a better pickup and pricing.

Yeah the Tucson feels very solid! I think all SUV which has a 2.0L engine will be slightly underpowered. But Tucson has a 2.4 variant rite? Abit mahal for 2.4. hahaha. I also hope the sportage has better power than CR-V. and also Rm136,000 and below. hehe

I think the Sportage would be a good choice because the equipment offered from Kia is better.

I tested the Mitsubishi ASX the main complain is the back seat angling is very steep. I took my children on a trip to Penang and they are quite comfortable at the back with the Tucson.

The good thing is that the Tucson feels solid just like the ASX when driven over potholes. I believe the Sportage should be the same.

As for pricing I think should be lower because Sime Darby gave a discount of RM5k.

Yeah equipment wise Kia offers better than Hyundai smile.gif driving a Kia forte now and I'm loving it wink.gif

Mitshubishi ASX? I haven't drove it before but sat inside and IMO it's very plain  sweat.gif

We test drove the sportage in Singapore and I have to say it's very very solid and quite. The back seats are comfortable and there is lots of headroom to spare(I'm 184cm)

Oh they offering rm5k discount? Wow then price should be abit lower than the sportage.

Are you trading in your Forte?

I hope they can give a good package for upgrading from Forte.
