I went from a V6 petrol CX9 to a 2.2 diesel Santa Fe and similar thing, the diesel has much better low end torque and fuel consumption is about half. Diesel all the way with big heavy cars like this.
People often choose the petrol for fear of DPF issues with the diesel. This 2.2 diesel has been around for over 10 years and is very well proven in all areas. These cars have never had DPF issues.
I chose the v6 petrol. After almost 20 000 km since new my acculated fuel use is 10.4 l/ 100 km. The duel clutch worried me and just had a mate had to spend 8000 dollars to replace it. I do not tow anything and very much just city driving and some freeway duties. Love the smooth engine.
@@conradscheepers4122 We have just done a 5300 km road trip and some places as low as 7.8 l/ 100 km. Not much more on fuel then my daughter CX5 with us on the same trip.
@@conradscheepers4122 I have V6 GDI 290 HP Santa 2014. And it has good dynamic as for family SUV not luxury brend. 7.8 sec VS 9.4 sec for 2.2 diesel. And my car also use near 9 l/100 km on freeway. Diesel use 7. (it for old 6AT gearbox.. not 8AT) Difference is not critical.
The diesel makes this car feel like you put a 2.0L in your Datsun 1200 Ute, it’s so responsive and eager especially in sport mode. The V6 feels like the engine is too small for the car, always having to bury the pedal and hear it wind out to get anywhere. Real life suburban fuel economy on the diesel with 4 kids on board is 11.0L/100km by comparison my 2.4L tarago used to get 14.7L/100km. The only time I’ve been able to get near the manufacturer stated fuel economy is a good run on the freeway using eco mode with an empty car and possibly a strong tailwind...
This is strange, my consumption almost never exceeds 9 L with the same car/engine combo and all this on unlimited German Highways. Suburban is less than 8 L. You must be living in a very dense area encountering a lot of traffic jams.
@@OneManBandWoodworks, thanks for the confirmation, I think we can however agree on the fact that this car combined with the Diesel engine and the 8 speed dual clutch transmission is by far the best option 😀
It's interesting though how the braking distance varies so much between them. V6 does 100km/h - 0km/h in 36.62 meters yet the Diesel does 100km/h - 0km/h in an impressive 34.98 meters the difference over 1.5 meters better in comparison. And they're literally fitted with the same Continental rubber, so that's out of the equation. Wonder if they've got slightly different programming, etc 1.5 meters doesn't sound like much, but reality that 1.5 meter gap is the difference between rear ending someone or stopping, hitting someone that ran in front of you or not, hitting a big red or avoiding him, etc
@@PDriveTV Could be, because specs wise they use the same brakes (rotors, calipers, etc). One being AWD could have more weight at the rear thus aiding in braking. Also when do you think you can get your hands on a 2021 - 2022 Ssangyong Rexton Ultimate ?
@@PDriveTV I was really cross shopping a 4x4 like the Rexton or making do with an AWD Santa-Fe, because i wana have the flexibility of being able to go off the beaten track if required. Decisions are hard because both offer very similar equipment, especially the much needed rear a/c in the 3rd row which i think should be mandatory in most SUV's in Australia. Many don't offer the seperate a/c in the very rear. Combined with having minimum power requirements the Pajero Sport was a good contender let down by abysmal power & torque outputs. Isuzu MUX (very good power & torque) was another one but i don't like the idea of a plastic tailgate long term in Australia's climate.
Wow that V6 is pretty impressive in a heavy SUV should drop that eng in the current Tucson that will fix the complaints that is underpowered with the 2.0na eng and I don't believe it will make much difference to fuel economy the 2.0 eng in a heavy SUV isn't exactly economical
Yes, sorry about that. We usually test cars with close to full. Keep in mind though the video recording and the actual Vbox tests are done separately; sometimes on different days, if it’s too hot or starts raining for example.
The problem with all these videos is they don’t pull / keep the car in the boost range with the turbo, those 2.2 turbo diesel pull as soon 2500RPM kicks in, they’re quick for what they are too.
The Vbox tests were conducted prior to the video being recorded (we always do tests and video separately). On some occasions we do them on completely different days; if it starts raining for example we head back to the strip another day just to run the video. But, that’s a valid point. We usually try to Vbox test cars with a close-to-full tank. Apologies on this occasion. That weight wouldn’t have made much difference though, not in a nearly 2000kg vehicle.
No harm done! It would be interesting to see the difference in performance between an almost empty and a full tank. With the side by side comparo shown in the video of a 0-100 run, the v6 is slightly ahead with less fuel onboard
Exciting stuff starts at 3:57

Diesel all the way with sedans too, sad thing governaments around the world wanna ban it... and almost did.
Most cars don't have diesels anymore.
also noisier and more sluggish
Wow, that dual clutch shifts pretty fast!!
Its a great gearbox
@@ForTheLoveOfCarss what is the gear box type (brand)
@@Ulas_Ovic its an 8 speed dual clutch transmission. Works very nicely.
@@ForTheLoveOfCarss i bought V6 4 by 2 yesterday. I really like. Very nice

Wow, the V6 sounds extremely similar to the 2010 GT CX-9.
I'd take the v6 because I'm a oetrolhead
Same
Me to ...my 2017 v6 can get to 8.9 l/100 km on the open road.

The Dual Clutch shifts so quick! I thought the auto was fast to. The V6 sounds quite nice and my Mum just bought an Elite V6. Very nice car.
Great stuff as per usual, PDriveTV. Hyundai showing no signs of slowing down that's for sure
I have the older V6 Santa Fe and love it. No diesel for me!

Even better

Yes, it’s interesting. It could be the heavier weight of the diesel motor over the front end? Helping to press the tyres onto the ground.
@@PDriveTV Could be, because specs wise they use the same brakes (rotors, calipers, etc). One being AWD could have more weight at the rear thus aiding in braking.

Green believe it or not.
There is a lot of fuel weight difference in the cars

Can you test the Toyota Kluger Hybrid next?
The difference in consumption is notable.

Third generation Santa Fe with 2.2 diesel engine 2WD is faster than newer model 4WD.
DCT on a diesel? very weird pairing.
Not really. VW group have done so for years.
@@peterb66 I mean VW group is known to throw DCTs into everything
@@ji9starrz from memory Ford used theirs on the diesel Mondeo & Focus at the time as well.
Quite a difference in fuel levels between the two, v6 almost empty and the diesel has a full tank. Thats 70+ kg difference
