..la pa bang balita sa "R" engine kong kailan ilalabas sa pinas?

[parakitoJDM]

ok ah. parang Honda Type-R ang anticipation ng mga tao sa R-series diesel na 'to ah. haha. that's good. pero ang tagal din ng product development then may announcement sila a whole year ago i think.... then till now wala pa. kahit nga Kia UK this month pa lang lalabas, and their website isn't updated yet.....?

anyway if my current Carens doesn't give me too much headache and repair bills (kasi yung clutch is now showing signs of irregular -strange behavior) then probably i'd get this.... the Kia Sorento diesel electric hybrid. wow!
hanep sa paper specs. haha, also siguro by that time solved na din yung road and shock noise intrusion problem....

Kia has confirmed it will be pursuing diesel-hybrid technology in future production cars after showing a Sorento concept at the Frankfurt motor show.

A Kia source told Autocar that a close variant of the Sorento hybrid’s powertrain is likely to make production by 2012 in the Kia range.




“Diesel hybrids are certainly the way we’d like to go with our alternatively powered vehicles in the future,” said the source.

“The powertrain seen in the Sorento has a strong chance of making production, be it in that model or others such as the Cee’d. All manufacturers have to work to get their emissions down and we think this is one our best chances of getting there.”

The Sorento hybrid uses a new 1.6-litre diesel unit, which is fitted with twin turbochargers to help it produce 161bhp. The engine is mated to an electric motor and drives the front wheels via a new double-clutch transmission offering a choice of fully-automatic, or manual sequential gear changes. This helps the Sorento achieve CO2 emissions of 119g/km.

Kia is also looking at introducing electric vehicles within the next two years, according to another company source.

The firm will launch a new version of the Picanto in 2011 and this is likely to be offered with an electric powertrain, too. Sister firm Hyundai showed off its all-electric version of the i10 city car at the Frankfurt motor show last week.

“Obviously we’re the same company and share R&D,” said the source. “So the i10 electric shows a way we’re going to go as well. When we show the new Picanto, there should be an electric version as well.”

The source said Kia has also developed an all-electric version of its Sportage SUV in Korea.

“Company executives have all seen it,” said the source. “But it’s only ever been conceived as a prototype. It’s unlikely we’ll show something like that at a motor show be it as a concept or in production form.”

Thanks for the input. Anyway I wont be surprise either if they quote you similar price range on the new Sorento. Always x2 ang price dito sa Pinas.
