Alfisti168 1st Gear October 30, 2010 Share October 30, 2010 (edited) will there be a great difference in FC between tucson and santa fe ? say ..normal driving pattern , not those F1 wannabe , from thomson to Gul area , monday to friday , saturday for kids tuitioni , swimming , marketing ...etc hah. deciding between a tucson and santa fe eh? just a few pointers for uu: 1) tucson 2.0 engine, santa 2.4. you need a larger engine for..? and not only FC will increase (by ~22%, taking tucson's FC to be 11km/l and SF's as 9km/l), but road tax and insurance as well. 2) tucson 5 seats, santa fe 7 seats. Do you NEED the extra seats in the first place? 3) does ur missus have a driving license? if yes, tucson is an easier car for her. 4) tucson newer design. santa fe design is seriously dated. compare the 2 interiors and uu will noe. 5) i find tucson's seats very comfortable. santa fe's is too slippery. 6) ah... but if you want a manly SUV, santa fe looks is spot on. Tucson look a bit pussy to me. Edited October 30, 2010 by Alfisti168 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged 2nd Gear October 24, 2012 Share October 24, 2012 Very chim for me. ... Any way its the same cc with tucson think turbo charging or super charging la .... tucson no power because no turbo/forced induction. S-Max incorporates EcoBoost!! so by virtue of adding a turbo, a smaller cc engine with turbo can perform like a bigger cc non turbo engine. It's supposedly more fuel efficient too ... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
