KIA Sorento LX 2013

[sagingsaba]

got a first peek on the first facelifted units which arrived at kia pasay.. what you think ? sulit na at 1.350M ?

no fogs, no roofrails, no tonneau cover, no mudguard

added: buttons on steering wheel to scroll through dashboard info displays
eco button ( beside transmission ).. what for ?
color keyed side mirror
DRL ( although it functions more like a park light )
cup holder covers

Features-wise, medyo tagilid sya from being sulit at 1.35M. Although it is a good alternative to the Tucson GL R-eVGT 4WD (IMHO); it's bigger and waayy better looking. Gusto ko to'ng 2013 facelift.

And what's with the tires? It doesn't look new

ECO button is a switch to tell the auto transmission to upshift aggressively and downshift conservatively to save on fuel.

maganda, pero wait. yung nilabas sa Korea na may LCD sa instrumentation panel eh parating din ba sa atin? and does this also get the Suspension improvements that Kia (and other EU websites) announced?

the usual question : if u decide to have the roof rails installed later, can it be done w/o drilling? has anybody bought an actual 5Seat unit and had it added an extra bench to make it 7seats? pls. share your experience....

Sobrang tsupipay ng rims grabe. This car really looks the one bought by govt to service isolated barangays. Sobra bare tignan.

Walang match eto sa new SF nor the trailblazer even the facelifted Fortuner look sleeker. At 1.35M not worth it knowing that 100k na lang, you'll have a decent looking standard Sorento. Ni hindi ka napamura neto

pwede mo lagyan ng 3rd row (nasa galing yan ng magi-install) pero mahirap ang ingress/egress ng 3rd row passengers kasi hindi fold and tumble ang 2nd row gaya ng sa 7-seater models. fold lang ang 2nd row. so need mo din palitan ang right side 2nd row seat ng fold and tumble, kung may mahanap ka.

Mukhang hindi na pre. Bago na design ng dash ng 2013. Parang mas bagay yung dashboard ng pre-MMC.

Pero yung exterior okay naman. IMHO mas okay yung design ng rims ngayon. Pangit lang yun tires

yung HU ng sorento ko napalitan na sir, 2 weeks pa lang pinapalitan ko na ng growl audio na am/fm/dvd/tv/usb/sd/ipod/gps/back up cam. yung original kasi e am/fm/cd/usb/ipod lang lang. mukhang iba design nyan sa 2013 sa 2012 pero same size, 2-din.

kumusta sound quality ng speakers sir yebo

^ same ng stock speakers sa 09 sta fe, much better than that of the stock GS. pero syempre mababa lang wattage kaya pag nasa malapit na sa 1/2 yung volume (50W x 4 yung HU ko) basag na ang bass. of course partly to blame e walang filter at lahat ng bass sounds e punta sa door mounted speakers. siguro kung lagyan ng filter, then subs, ok naman but don't expect much.

yung bagong facelifted 6 speakers -- tweeters sa may side mirror and one for each door.

btw, medyo set na ako to buy one hindi ko lang ma decide which color kasi napaka common lahat -- white, silver, black, and dark brown ( new color ). any tips in choosing color ?

[yebo]

6 speakers din yung lx na 2012 bossing. kung pareho yung sa door ng sa sta fe (di ko pa nabuksan door panels) e respecble naman ang quality. yun kasing sa GS kaya ko pinalitan e sin-liit lang ng 5-peso coin yung magnet, pang-transistor radio haha!
