Volkswagen atlas. Ford simi simi. None sold here in singapore. These r monsters. 3rd row machiam 2nd row of toyota wish kinda. And with full 7 8 seats up prob still can carry 4 big luggages. I would imagine these to be too difficult to park in many carparks in sg. Cannot enter our older multi-storey car parks lor... right now the newer HDB MSCP are 2.1 m so I think still can... but the older shopping centres are like 1.8 or 1.9 m, confirm buang the roof... I see Toyota HiAce vans in my home's MSCP so I know they can enter... but these monster SUVs... ha ha... I think must park roadside... Raffles City parking height is only 1.8 m I think... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartlander Turbocharged October 12, 2020 Share October 12, 2020 (edited) 8 hours ago, Thaiyotakamli said: If want aisle access can try cx8 coming soon In Malaysia, CX-8 has been available since end of last year. Priced between CX-5 and CX-9, got 4 variants from 7-seater to 6-seater. Not true comparison for Sorento imho lah. But the 6-seaters are viable options for those who need just 6 seats. The video below shows the difference between the 6-seaters with centre console and walk-through isle. Three videos I watched, the reviewers always recommend to get the variant with walk-through isle. The walk-through isle variant comes with 2nd row captain seats also. Edited October 12, 2020 by Heartlander 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystidae 1st Gear October 12, 2020 Share October 12, 2020 Congrats! My family went for a test drive last Saturday and was impressed with the drive. Sound insulation was excellent and we could not even hear the Diesel engine, even when pushed hard. Unfortunately, only the GT is 4WD. There was a little wheel spin when pushed hard from stationary. I was a little disappointed that the rotary gear selector, remote parking and 6-seat configuration were not brought in. I am waiting for the 1.6 turbo hybrid which my SA said may only come next year. Incidentally, I had also test driven the Kodiaq 2.0 L&K (ride more comfortable with customizable suspension, 4WD, cheaper but smaller, less equipped), Terraco 1.4 (much cheaper but less equipped and smaller). 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. Was comparing GLB and Sorento. Sorento more VFM but GLB has nicer cockpit. Price wise 200k vs 165k. Test drove on Sat and paid. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Yes you are right. I was super impressed with the drive too. This car don't have much Diesel engine sound and pretty quiet. But I love the sound of the engine when the accelerator is being pushed. lol. The pick up acceleration is pretty fast too. And yes I was kind of disappointed that the wire shift gear and remote parking is not available in SG. Probably that will increase the cost price even higher. But then, good enough. This car is pretty much spacious and high tech already. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
