It will be easier that KIA to introduce a Diesel premium variant, instead of add this add that. Afterall, any potential owner for such a huge vehicle, they are not looking at Petrol version, just check your sales figures.
How bad will the pricing be, why KIA is SO reluctant to do it ? This post has been edited by amdxp: Jan 10 2017, 09:33 AM |

QUOTE(Buydirect @ Nov 11 2017, 05:54 PM) Kia Sorento UM 2.2 diesel HS Any idea when is the launch of the FL 2018 Sorento with 8AT ? Watched quite some youtube review, noted that the 8AT is quite an awesome upgrade. I meant the 2.2 Diesel Facelift car.Winner of the SUV car of the year at Malaysia Auto show 2017 at MAEPS  |

After 3-4 months, any update on that ? The sorento FL with 8At and 8" infotainment screen. Best with ACC & aircond front seats. |

QUOTE(kenng2222 @ Nov 5 2021, 05:57 PM) Hi mates, I came across a Sorento 2.2 HS diesel (2017) for sale. The owner planned to sell it at a price to cover his remaining loan which amounted to ~RM93k. Still under warranty till May 2022. Tip top condition but the mileage is a bit high at 160k km. My concerns are as followed:- For a 4 years car the mileage is a bit high. Though a diesel engine will normally last more than 300,000km I still have some reserve to recommend it. Maybe nego for a further few k.1. Any known issues especially the major ones for this model? 2. For the high mileage, is there anything that I need to be awared of in terms of wear and tear and big ticket item? 3. How's the maintenance and spare part cost like for this model? 4. Is it worth it at RM93k? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Cheers!  P/S: Here is the reference to the model just in case from Paul Tan's site:) - https://[<link removed>]/2017/04/25/kia-sorento-high-spec-diesel-in-malaysia-rm191888/ Diesel sorento does not have much "problems", however other than some minor issue with turbo actuator and EPB, I have not heard too much about other parts. Common wear and tear (1) brake pad, and disc rotor for every 2 brake pads replacement. (2) auto rear boot button (locate at tailgate). The replacement is less than RM300, each one can last 3-5 years. |
