Hi Guys,

Planning to get a new car but have my eyes set on these 2 cars. But i am still open to suggestion for <140k. resale value is not an issue. my requirements are big space, comfort and less problem with parts and built quality.

I know that these two cars are fairly similar with similar engine and almost the same specs.

Would like to know what you guys think of these cars and has there been any major problems reported.


Many thanks

hyundai generally is considered a more mature of the 2 brands...

ya kind of afraid of naza cars as a friend of mine have major issues with her naza ria. just not sure how well is kia doing

get the tucson la... much better...

haha.. a friend of mine her dad's naza ria literally catch on fire from the engine bay and burn the whole car down to a crisp by the highway....

ria is old stuff- cannot compare.. sportage

i am dont really remember the specifics of her case but its something like need to change whole engine block. if dont fix cant sell if sell cannot cover cost of fixing. really pity

ehm...
i didnt really compare Tucson with Sportage...
i were comparing Cx-5 with Sportage...i picked CX-5

btw, if Tucson 2.0L with Sportage,
i will pick Sportage.... (not comparing Tucson 2.4L)

Btw, theres alot of blog and review comparison between this 2 cars. can google around and read...im sure this comparison is easy...u will get ur final answer real soon.

ehh CX-5 not available yet, right? How's the price like?

official .... MYR 159,500.00 (FWD); MYR 169,500.00 (AWD)

Hrm, that's a lot more than the Sportage and Tucson.

Yep.... Ria even use old Rover engine... not kia's....

Had a chance to drive sportage once before, feels underpowered imo. as for tucson, design wise phail for me

Yup between Tucson 2.0 HS and Sportage 2.0.


i can really find comparison between the two as they tend to place the NA Tucson with the TC sportage that is not available here

interior, exterior or both?

exterior looks nice IMO. Just the black colored version not as nice as the silver linings become too obvious.

both using the same 2.0 engine bro..so u can just ignore the engine/power comparisons and look for other differences

design wise..diff ppl hv diff taste..so ask urself which one u like more
then go test drive both to be certain of ur choice

Sportage design is overkill mang
But both brands are Korean so...buy at ur own risk

Tuscon- more spacer, comfort

Sportage-AWD, sporty, more accessories, Audi spirit.

After test driving both the cars, here is my conclusion

Sportage:
+more features
+a little cheaper
- bad build quality (look into the exhaust mounting, uneven weld and not coated, the test drive unit started to rust there)


Tucson 2.0HS:
+better ride comfort (especially in the back)
+better build quality
-less specs
-no 4WD

i would not buy either of it cuz with this price tag i can get something that offers a much more comfortable drive.

this is my opinion and you may agree or disagree with me
