hmm really not practical? do you know which year they start intro the 7 airbags?
ya thats what the SA told me, rather focus on tucson now sime darby, easy to sell. coming soon will be crdi engine on tucson as the current santa fe is too expensive. 200k+ for a suv he say sime darby not confident on the market. even now throw promo 30K also susah mau jual...but tucson very fast
Fancy la.. after a while you will feel opening with your hands are much more faster.
I don't think sime darby bring in the 7 air bag version for now, I did hear they are planning to bring in a version with power boot, lane departure warning, lane assist etc... to me, you're not going to use all those feature daily.
If you ask SA, they sure tell you better get tucson because they need to see tucson la.. if you really count on the road, there are slightly more santa fe than tucson. Yes, 200k is expensive, because Sime Darby think its ok to milk more money. plus our currency already jatuh like no value already.
Its not susah want to sell, but rather there are a spoilt of choice at this price range. SF is mostly for people who wants power, practical, Fuel Saving, looks, but do not care langsung about resale value. at this price range the japanese counterpart which is much more cheaper is the Xtrail, but the 2 seats behind cannot pakai one. Right now, for the 2.2l and below diesel variant, this engine alongside with sorento and kia carnival has the highest stock output.
Tucson CRDI engine? not sure, I doubt they will cannibalize Santa Fe's market. if they do bring in, I would think its only for the 1.6 CRDI variant or Max also 2.0 korean version. 2.2 CRDI is overkill for such a small size.
