2011 KIA Sportage (GEN 3)

[marcs]

sir if you don't mind, magkano ang HID kit, and how much did the casa charge you for the installation? thanks

also, is it just me or are more and more scooters mounting HIDs na sobrang irritating talaga?

[bratski]

Got the chance to seat at the backseat of the sportage at the showroom, mas malaki nga headroom niya compared sa tucson, sa tucson kasi hindi ko madiretso ulo ko sa backseat. Sa sportage hindi na kailangan nakayuko pero sakto lang headroom

Hindi lang ikaw, marami tayo. Basta halogen housing hindi dapat install ng hid.

[amneshoxx]

6k, low beam and fog lights.. for the installation.. sorry, can't tell.. it depends on your SA i think.. hehe.. =)

HIDs on motorcycles are really irritating.. since their headlghts are high, parang highbeam palagi maski low lang.

sir SG we got ours from kia pasong tamo.. we had hids installed yesteday.. weird yung sa fog lamps. the power from the original wiring could not suppy enough current to the ballast. kelangan pa extra supply directly from the battery, lagay pa tuloy ng fuse and relay.. anyone had the same problem? we had ours intstalled sa dealer para hindi ma void warranty pero kami nag supply ng hid kit. madugo kasi price sa casa. dun sa projector plug and play lang. =)

Basically because the stock fog lamp bulb is only 27W. Yung friend ko double-relay ang ginawa para hindi mag-erratic behavior. Yung suking shop ko, si Maspro, di ko alam kung paano secret daw yun ni Master Benjie hahaha.

Ang problema lang baka ang hindi kayanin eh yung init ng HID. Sa Santa Fe may case na nag-memelt ang reflector sa fogs. Sa Tucson namumuti, sa Grand Starex nasusunog. Medyo nakaka-takot diba. Isa lang gumagawa ng light housing ng Hyundai / Kia.

Sa Maspro nalang ako papakabit ng HID. 3,500 lang bigay niya sa Xenon Headlamp 35W 4300K / 6000K.

Pero naisip ko kung 50W HID kaya, sana naman hindi masunog yung housing or lumabo yung housing.. :question:

[ghieluna]

sa mga new sportage owners, ano ang average fuel consumption nyo? thanks....

[amneshoxx]

sir sg 6k for both sets na.. bali 3 each, 35w..8000k
50w? hmmm.. hehe.. baka may mangyari na po sa casing.. hehe..

meron na sportage na turbo, same engine.. pogi ng exhaust. twin pipe. =) hehe.. pero i think it's not available here..

[Starex_Gold]

Yes, that's the Sportage SX. Turbocharged tapos GDi engine. Pero same Theta II 2.0L.

Mataas yung HP, pero in real world halos pareho lang sila humatak nung CRDi, based sa mga napapanood ko.

Now to the nitty gritty. Under the hood is the new 2 liter powerplant from Kia with continuously variable valve timing for both the intake and exhaust cams. The engine is capable of 166 metric horsepower and 197 Newton meters, and while that sounds good on paper, however, it does not really translate as much to the road as I would have wanted. For some reason, the Sportage doesn't perform as well as I hoped, finishing a 0-100 km/h sprint in 11.7 seconds, and has a relatively difficult time (as noted by the high revs) getting up inclines.

I found this strange, particularly because I drove the Hyundai Tucson D-CVVT before; a car that I was truly impressed with and a car with which the Sportage shares a lot with... including the platform and the engine. A quick glance at the vehicle's curb weight quickly answered my questions, as the Sportage D-CVVT AWD weighs in at over 1636 kilograms; a figure that is nearly 150 kilos more than the similarly specced Tucson.

The 6-speed automatic transmission and its shorter ratios helped in coping with the weight, but having a small 2 liter engine lug along the extra weight of an all-wheel drive transmission seems to have cancelled it out. As a result, the engine returns fuel economy figures of just an average 7.9 km/l in the city and 9.6 km/l on the highway (both in light to moderate traffic).

Matipid na yang sinasabing 7.9km/L city ng AWD.

Yung 2WD nga hirap maka 13.8L/100km = 7.2km/L

Sanay na ako diyan

Nag umpisa sa Chevrolet Optra (kasi Korean made, Daewoo Lacetti), sa Tucson iX, sa Santa Fe, ngayon sa Sportage

Mahirap magpalit ng aftermarket pads, baka kasi yung rotor ang maubos. Hehehe. Just live with it. Linis nalang ng linis ng mags gawa ng brake dust. Hahaha.

Gawa yun nung material na gamit sa brake pads.

[wahzai_swy]

Haha, tested ko na sa tucson gen 1, di pa naman nag ubos ang rotor after ng ilan thousands of km ng after market brake pad

[Starex_Gold]

Anong pinalit mo, Bendix ba?

[onin_168]

Haha, tested ko na sa tucson gen 1, di pa naman nag ubos ang rotor after ng ilan thousands of km ng after market brake pad

[Starex_Gold]
