Its deficiencies like touchscreen if you are into those things or rear cameras can be easily bought aftermarket. Pioneer or kenwood make kickass stereos that are way much better than stock china stereos they slap in ypur cars. Plus I heard hyundai gives 100k+ discount. I would get the base 1.3m model if I bought thoughYamatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349484441199869221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-4781711418922643732017-10-29T00:18:02.894+08:002017-10-29T00:18:02.894+08:00The Tucson is bare.

Driver side airbag and halogen headlights only for the base variant then 2 airbags for the TOTL variant then no leather seats, push start/stop, backing sensor, side and curtain airbags, cruise control, etc...<br /><br />The Sportage though, it looks like a Porsche Macan. Im not sure with its safety features but it's lacking in features which is in due fairness, some are available in the aftermarket. <br /><br />The question is, as a buyer, are you cool with the pros and cons of owning a Kia or a Hyundai?

Again, the sportage is the best bang for the buck crossover at 1.5M, period. They both have the same engine and transmission.<br /><br />Rear parking camera isn't a deal breaker, we've managed to drive cars without cameras and sensors a decade ago. Cameras are for convenience and added safety only, not really that essential unless you suck at parking. I'm not sure but I think the sportage has rear parking sensors which in real world driving is already sufficient. The only cons I can really think of is its polarizing looks and the fact that its Korean. Other than that, it really is the best option if you follow the mind instead of the heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-40466613181761704512017-10-28T21:36:45.942+08:002017-10-28T21:36:45.942+08:00I saw a new white Kia Sportage and it looks good, ...I saw a new white Kia Sportage and it looks good, however,from a quick research I found out that it doesn't have a touchscreen which isn't a deal breaker but it doesn't have a rear parking camera which is a deal breaker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-48509785020577944292017-10-28T20:07:03.793+08:002017-10-28T20:07:03.793+08:00Crv diesel costs 1.5-2m and only has the power of ...Crv diesel costs 1.5-2m and only has the power of a subcompact sized accent. using those tuning chips will void the warranty of your brand new car due to excessive wear and tear according to honda. being a honda fan before, the best buy would be the 1.5m tucson since it has the best engine although I like the sportage's looks better. You can always upgrade the comforts but not the engine.

Doesn't even have leather seats and steering wheel! The only advantage of the crv is the extra 2 seats.<br /><br />If you want your value for money at 1.5M get the sportage. It might not look great to some but it has the most features for your money. Reliability is still unknown though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-62576923125185549402017-10-28T02:43:48.694+08:002017-10-28T02:43:48.694+08:00*premature wear*premature wearAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11349986043756349553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-54875062771479292232017-10-28T02:43:13.889+08:002017-10-28T02:43:13.889+08:00It actually depends on what kind of tune you'r...It actually depends on what kind of tune you're gonna do.

Kia Sportage - Positively weird looking, lacks touchscreen and some features, I'm not sure about the interior quality<br />3. Mazda CX-5 - Luxurious looks and interior, though the base variant lacks some features and it's gasoline.<br />4. Subaru Forester - Looks nice but it's getting old, nice awd, lacks luxury features but I'm worried about the low fuel consumption.<br />5. Honda CRV - Looks good, diesel engine may lack grunt due to low hp, base diesel variant lacks luxury features<br />6. Volkswagen Golf GTS - Not a compact suv but this has good value proposition, what do you guys think? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
