Ours is MPI engine.

Hi all sifu,

i have a noob question, does current K5 with the function that the electronic seat auto adjust (move backward and forward) when start/stop the engine?

Yes...gonna get my Platinum Graphite soon~~ =D

The new facelift version is estimate to be launch in December 2013.

     

Price no change.     

But the offer for the facelifted model would not be the same as the current model, that's for sure.

It shouldn’t be too long now before the 2014 Kia Optima facelift makes its way into Naza Kia showrooms in the country – an example undergoing type approval evaluation at JPJ Putrajaya was invariably caught by regular photo contributor Anol Alias. The facelifted third-gen TF made its debut in New York back in March, and closer to home, was launched in Indonesia in September at the Indonesian International Motor Show.

As previously mentioned, the mid-life update brings about only minor changes; in terms of reworked exterior bits, the daytime running lights on the pre-facelift K5′s bumper now sit on top of the headlamps in the facelift, and the foglamps are now a four-cluster LED array type. Find photos of the current Optima below for easy comparison.

At the back, in line with newer Kia offerings, the new rear lamps feature a LED bar frame, and the bling-looking machine-finished 18-inch, 10-spoke flush-faced alloy wheel on the old car has been replaced by a new five twin-spoke design, also an 18-incher. The interior has also been refreshed, with a new seat design one of the items in the mix.

The Optima facelift will continue to be a 2.0 litre job, with the Nu CVVL unit – which took over from the Theta II in the original TF late last year – being retained, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. There should be no change to the 165 PS at 6,200 rpm and 198 Nm at 4,600 rpm output numbers from the outgoing car, which made its market debut here just under two years ago.

ok ba..cos no ppl solve my problem so i double send =-=

How's the fuel consumption like 1L = ?KM

Dear K5 owner, any of you having this chassis squeky noise issue? I have reported this issue to SC and also Kia careline but they keep telling me they are pending for reply from Korea HQ. I had reported the issue 1 week after collected my car from Edwin during and untill now (4 months) they still telling me no reply from Korea and they can do nothing. Anyone experience this? Please share how you resolve this issue.

Hello Edwin, are you able to help to get this issue solve asap? I'm really disappointed with the service from Naza Kia

I went to Edwin SC for my first service and left my car for inspection for 2 days. They told me the report was opened to NAZA Kia Malaysia and then forwarded to HQ Kia Korea. Since then no more follow up and update. When I call to SC, the service manager told me pending Kia Korea and the same answer when I call careline. This has been dragging for almost 4 months without any progress and the mentioned noise is getting louder which I'm not sure it is from the same part of chassis or the front suspension which was claimed working fine.

Actually there is 1 case where a member from K5 club facing the same issue but the provided workaround was not solving the issue completely and it looks like trial and error. Hopefully Kia has the proper solution and not the try and see method.

Now I'm feeling sad that my new car is having the defects since the first day and it never been resolved. KIA, I want a problem free replacement unit instead of this  . At the end of the day, for all the potential Kia buyers please do think twice before you get one as the Korea QC is not as good as what you think it is even it is a CBU unit. The worst case is the service which they don't even know what is wrong and how to fix it. GOOD LUCK to me 

The problem is there is a constant creaking noise from the front when there is weight shift during accelerate, brake and cornering. Yes, I did joined myk5club and so far there is only one of the member's ride was troubleshoot by the technician from Kia HQ. However, the solution provided is not solving the issue completely which is with some ugly welding on the suspicious part. I haven't try with other SC so far and pending all my wishlist mod until it is resolved.

This is the welding done on the member ride.

Just friendly advises :

1.)  Once you get your new car, remember to lower your 4 tires pressure to 31-33 psi.

2.)  When you park your new K5, be more careful, as K5 "car head" is bit longer.

Cheers!

thanks, this doesn't link to the reverse camera?  any cheaper model that other owners have installed?

one of the k5 group in FB mention that the NU engine is not tuned for our ron 95.

is that true?
one of them get engine replaced after some issue with the engine

I think my car battery is wearing out (after >2 yrs). Any good car battery brand recommended for good usage? Price?

This morning when trying to start the engine....it stutters a bit

Dear K5 owners

I just collected my car 2 days ago and I am enjoying every single bit of the drive.

Unfortunately, while I was driving yesterday night, my car was hit by a renegade rock and it left a small dent and scratch near the driver's door.

Any of you know of a dent repair shop I can send to?

Thanks.

Hi Guys, I understand that this is a K5 forum and I'm basically coming in as a Cerato owner, but we're both under Naza and was hoping to get you guys to help share my plight with regards to poor after sales service by Naza KIA. Hope you guys don't mind, and do let me know if this is out of bounds and I'd be more than glad to delete this post. Just hoping to get more shares and eyeballs on the matter.

I had a pretty bad experience with KIA after sales services today. My 3 month old Cerato had an engine oil leak since a month ago. The SC at Seri Kembangan wiped off the leak and after that it could not be found again. Naza HQ technical people took a look at it and also could not find the leak.

They asked to have my car inspected by a Korean engineer which after spending only 10 or so minutes on the car, decided that there is no leak and that there's no issue, despite the photographic evidence of the leak!

So after everything is said and done, they did not do anything and just flatly say there is no problem and asked me to continue to drive my car...and if anything...we have a 5 year warranty. And I asked, if my car were to run out of engine oil in some unknown location with no KIA dealership or SC, how. They say "No worries, we have towing service!". Clearly they don't know the amount of potential inconvenience that would come up should something like this happen.

Needless to say I'm pretty pissed off with them having wasted my time. The tidak apa attitude is even more disappointing (trying to mince my words here).

Hoping to share with you guys my experience below and hope to trouble you all to re share and spread the word so that Naza takes a look at this matter seriously rather than sweep it under the carpet like this. And potentially for all of us as well in the future should our cars <touch wood> need some serious attention. The final hope is really that they improve on their after sales service.

Thanks in advance everyone!
