2011 KIA Sportage (GEN 3)

[nplazaro]

Latest FC ko is 6.6km/liter computed after magpa full tank ako kagabi. Puro city driving na heavy traffic everyday. 1040km odometer reading. I used Petron XCS+.

[marcs]

ouch ang lakas. almost the same as my 4x4 Everest. but really, what can you expect from an SUV eh?

what i'm curious is if this is at par or worse than other brands like the CR-V, Escape, etc?

Sir, 2WD o AWD kayo?

Not counting the extra torque of a diesel engine, it seems patas lang if you factor in total cost of ownership. guess would also depend on your consumption per month.

i drive around 500-700km/month for day to day commute. Theta II at 7-8km/L would mean 90-100L/month. I dunno, what would a diesel get, 12km/L? 15? That would be 50L perhaps per month. So on gas I would spend 4k-5k/month, if diesel I would spend 2k or so/month. Over a year, I save 20k+, over 5 years, 100k ...so if the Diesel variant is 100-200k more expensive, parang net even lang, especialy if balak mo magpalit ng car every 5-7 years.

also consider maintenance cost. every PMS it is more expensive to maintain CRDis than thetaII. what more sa kia every 5K pa ang CRDi then every 7.5k lang ang theta. yung power ng R-eVGTs alone is already enough reason for the price difference.

sorry wrong comparison. i meant if they will release a base diesel variant na same specs as the current offering. i guess if magkaroon nyan na 100k more lang than the current model ok to go for diesel. but if they offer only a premium variant (1.5 to 1.6M), then bawi din sa purchase price whatever fuel you save vs. the base gas variant. That is unless you really want the premium variant with all the bells and whistles.

i guess for me ok na yung base model for now. barely use my car on weekdays naman, mas for weekend out of towns lang so ok na.

btw, saan kaya makakauha nung rearview mirror with a camera? i would prefer to get that vs. changing the entire head unit. i mount ko na lang iPad dun pag long trips kung gusto manood ng pamilya ng movies

There's no basis para lakihan yung price difference. Same features, same specs. Diesel engine lang nilagay. Like Sorento. 1.795M for the diesel 2WD then 1.695M for the Theta II 2WD. Same features, same specs.

I average 7.6km/L on my CR-V 2.4 4WD. Pag chillax driving I can even peak 8.5km/L. Pag traffic, oh well. 6.9km/L. Medyo may kalakasan talaga sa gas ang Theta II

*ratchet23: Mismo. Sobrang saya pag naka R-eVGT.

BTW yung rearview mirror with monitor + rear camera, it costs 55K sa casa w/o installation. ;)

I traded in my 18-month old Tucson IX for the new Sportage. Here is the first modification I did:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLnDuPMLTtA]‪Sportage R OEM Head unit‬‏ - YouTube[/ame]

This Sportage rides better than the Tucson IX, at least if the topic is the suspension and ride comfort. Also the Sportage has better stance and more head and leg room inside. Fuel consumption is better too than the Tucson comparing them on the first 1k mileage.

Bro Lurker,

papost naman ng pix ng rear camera installation mo? thanks.

[lurkercar]

sir here is the pic of the OEM rear cam for Sportage R.






We produce OEM head units for different car models, we send actual stock HU overseas to create a mould para dash-fit ang HU.
Amin ang design ng mga mainboards namin kaya napapagana namin ng stable ang Garmin GPS software kahit na high resolution digital panel ang LCD screen.

Rear camera namin is Sony pero amin ang mould para OEM fit, High resolution na sya kahit total darkness malinaw sya.

Many models are posted sa sulit.com.ph

Well, casa eh. Sa eBay may nakita ata akong ganyan dati, di nagkakalayo ang price. That's why it's worth it getting the TOTL variant.

Ang ganda, mabuti yung rear camera nasa tabi na ng plate lights, kasi na-aalala ko yung kinabit mo sa Tucson iX ng member namin kasama pa ng plate light yung camera so medyo mahina yung plate light. hehehe.

Baka pwede pa maka-discount sa'yo tutal ka-Tucson ka namin dati

[lurkercar]

SG, ung unang batch ng rear cam ng Tucson talaga medyo crappy pero ung pinalit namin dun copy talaga ung original not using LED light na para sa Tucson IX, this time we use Sony camera too para mas clear ang video.

[Ginnova]

a 4X4 Black Sportage is currently on display at Pavilion mall. really looks nice.

Thanks bro. Pag nakuha na namin yung Sportage contact kita. Discount ha

Got to check out the base Sportage at KIA Taytay earlier. Looks as good as it does in pictures, pansin ko lang better ang visibility front and rear ng Tucson. And is it just me or is the interior of the Tucson a bit bigger? Medyo mauuntog ako sa entry/exit sa Sportage, and I'm only just 5'6".

[Kuljacks]

Nice sir....

Update na po natin tong Thread as a continuation over the "Spy Shot" Thread since the Sportage is now out. Pls share here your current & future Modz po.

*kiatkiat

Danda po. Any updates on your Sporty po? Im leaving for the US mid next month & im eyeing K&N Filter, 8' HU, possible H&R Lowering Springs & AEM Cold Air Intake.... Will try to search the net for feedbacks on the AEM & H&R Springs muna.

Standout Motors in Ortigas & Santolan has a Grey Market Sporty Limited Diesel Unit on Display for P1.750M, too rich for me....

[Starex_Gold]

Hmmm. Pwede na. Kaso 1 year lang warranty sa Standout motors.
