Are you asking or telling about the facelift?

[Oblivion]

is there a facelift coming in January 2022? I have a FWD booked tentative delivery for October 2021

[emaanaziz94]

Any one recieved compensation from KLM upon late delievery ?

[Oblivion]

The new logo looks amazing

There should be two types on compensations currently.

• Refund of FED
• KIBOR + 3 from 61st day of full payment

FED - Dealerships are saying that they'd return the money after the vehicle is delivered in case you've made the full payment. Partial payment cases will pay the newer/lower price.
KIBOR + 3 - No one has a clue about it, I inquired the dealership about it and they gave me the most absurd answer possible. That the 60 day limit starts after the tentative delivery month. For example, in my case, I booked on April 7th (full payment), they gave me the delivery month of August (5 months), They'll be liable to pay the penalty starting October 2nd, 2021. I said, bro, I need to smoke whatever you're smoking becasue this makes 0 sense k you'll be liable to pay me any sort of penalty after using the money for 7 months? Then the other guy jumped in and said k sir hamara khial hai k from the date of full payment start hota but abhi company say koi update nahi aya.

That's plain BS by the dealership, the law is clear and it starts 60 days after you have made the full payment. Which in itself is a loophole already as most companies only take partial amount for booking now, and don't take full payment until they are sure about the delivery timeline. With partial payment they could make you wait two years and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

I doubt KIA will facelift this Sportage, it looks good enough and is doing very well, so we won't be seeing the new logo on it. I expect they will launch the new generation once Corolla 12th gen and Civic 11th gen have launched in Pakistan.

Can any owner advise if they have upgraded the sound system of the car? If yes, which brand and how much did it cost you?

I was told by one shop that they can give me this setup:

1. "FOCAL" components (19k each set)
2. "CROSSFIRE" subwoofer tube with builtin amp
   comes in 2 sizes, smaller one for 13-14k and bigger
   one for 34k, both can be fixed under seat..

so it will cost me around 50-70k depending on which bass tube i select...he told me that you will get cinema like surround and crisp quality with these...

Also advise if the android screens available now a days, are they fast and responsive enough? and do they support android auto?

You know this will totally kill your warranty..... Right?

[fajoo241]

hmm

so no one here has upgraded the sound system?

[emzee92]

They will launch it once RHD CKD kits are available. Dont think it will happen before 2023.

Dear The Problem is while driving at 120KMPH. At a speed of 80-100 all cars are exceptionally good at fuel. I have a Honda BRV and if I travel on Motorway from Islamabad to Lahore at 120KMPH, I am scared whether it will reach Lahore or not. But when I travel back via GT Road at 100KMPH and below it reaches in half Tank. Same is true with Kia Sportage if you travel 100-110 it will be 14 KMPH.

Agreed. The economy falls exponentially after 110. I have pasted pictures that my FWD gives 13.5 on Motorway at 120 with AC. I'll try on 100 next time and will share pictures here
