Echelon 3rd Gear March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 I think that consumer cars are better insulated than commercial vehicles? I still get comments about the nice new smell of the car still. Very nice and comfortable and most importantly big on the inside. Externally it is big too but not overly so there is still nice space even in tight HDB parking still. Hi Even if diesel one is $10k more, the diesel price is about 30% cheaper than petrol price. So if your monthly petrol cost is $400, you can "recoup" about $120 each month. In one year that's $1440! Are there additional costs for owning a diesel car besides the $10k upfront payment? Are there any issues with driving a diesel car compared to petrol? Some people tell me the taxis have the smell inside cos they use diesel. Hope that is not the case for the Sorento! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackprolinear Neutral Newbie March 19, 2015 Share March 19, 2015 I just bought my Sorento 2.4GDI. Actually don't need diesel version. The 2.4GDI is enough. If you want a bit more power, use the Sports Mode. More stability and the steering wheel is not so light. Enough to overtake and leave others behind. Driving during traffic use the Normal mode and heavy traffic use Eco mode. Love the sunroof and a lot of the other features. Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echelon 3rd Gear March 19, 2015 Share March 19, 2015 You are right, I recalled the petrol variants has perky engines that will be able to push the Sorento effortlessly. You have a great ride there! Two thumbs up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastNsteady 1st Gear March 19, 2015 Share March 19, 2015 i usually get around 8.6 - 9 as per the instruments. But the trip to KL it went down to 8.4. There is a sweet spot when you cruise on 6th gear at around 82km/h I can't recall exactly. There is this optimum drive. Anyways I used a lot of the cruise control, very enjoyable drive. In the past 1 week, I have seen more Kia Sorento 2014 version on the road that I ever did previously. Such a handsome ride...I would think out loud! :) Love the car, power is there and today, I just found out that I can stream music from my android smartphone via bluetooth to the car! WooHoo - I can play Spotify now! Its nice to get such surprises once in awhile! Yes! Smartphone = HTC One M8 Why Kia until today still can not produce good fuel efficient car like many other made. Other brand already improved so much but Kia ..... sian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayoflight 5th Gear March 19, 2015 Share March 19, 2015 How to produce a fuel efficient car? Suv very difficult to be fuel efficient la. If u want fuel efficient then dont buy SUV. Cut the weight, put in the 2.0T engine.. 8speed gearbox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut the weight, put in the 2.0T engine.. 8speed gearbox. seems like already have 2.0T sorento only thing is that CnC did not bring them in hopefully they will later part, smaller engine, bigger power = less Roadtax and hopefully better FC now the 2015 sorento still very new Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat_slayer 4th Gear April 20, 2015 Share April 20, 2015 Nearly bought this car during the Sg motor show. The build and finish is very good especially the interior. It was let down by the small lcd display and lack of build in sat-nav. Anyway, saw the first 2015 sorrento in IMM yesterday. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
