Signing off as a happy K5 owner

Hi, you got the newer specs (engine-change) or current specs?

I choose the current version which is Theta i believe, was doing the survey for the past 2 months on which D segment should i buy and was set my target to K5 month after the survey, i knew about the new batch but unfortunately i cant wait anymore, further more, no confirmation on what will the new batch have except for the NU engine, and i saw a lot of good comment here and also from the K5 club in facebook... kenot tahan to be one of the proud K5 owner as soon as i can bro 

I drive frequently outstation and in city so here are my figures. At 110kmph (2250RPM), its about 6.0L/100km. At 160kmph, its about 10.20L/100km.

For 80L in 80% highway at 160-170kmph and remaining 20% in city driving, my max distance travelled was 780km. I was told some tested 100% highway driving at 110kmph and managed to achieve 915km.

For highway driving, the Optima is quite economical but in city driving, it will consume more since its a heavy car. But the biggest contributer to fuel consumption is not these figures but the way u drive. Most ppl think they are driving economically but actually they arent. So dont worry too much about FC. Improve your driving habits and ull be able to get good mileage.

I drove up to KL from Kluang last weekend after my 1st service. Speed was about 115km/h and I used the auto cruise a lot of the time. But the best FC I could get on the display was 7.8l/100km. Will this get better over time?

I also found that speed shown on the speedometer was about 5km/h more than that displayed on my GPS. When i drove my company car ( Camry ), both the speedometer and GPS showed the same fig. Anyone else having this issue?

Driving around in Kluang gave me a reading of about 14 to 15l/100Km. 

The newer version of Sportage with NU engine is already available and comes with MDPS (Motor Driven Power Steering) or Electric Steering instead of the previous one with Hydraulic Steering.

It would be interesting if the new spec for K5 also comes with MDPS! We all just have to wait and see! MDPS has speed sensing feature, which tightens the steering at high speed for safety reasons and loosen it for better maneuverability during low speed or parking etc..

Hi Buydirect, howomce this article posted in 2011 said sportage is already using the MDPS?

http://motoren.wordpress.com/2011/06/22/na...l-new-sportage/

Does the Nu engine give out 164Hp and 197Nm torque? Saw it on the Kia website. If so, it would be 1Hp more and 1Nm less than the previous engine. What other changes?

Hi Buydirect,
Can you share the new borchure of Sportage with NU engine to us? Checked the specification in Nazakia.com.my. Still Theta II engine...
Thanks.

Thanks Orbituary for support vincent
