Kia SPORTAGE "QL" ; Dedicated Discussion, Owner/ Fan Club Thread

Brother I got mine within 5 days after paying the difference. Just keep following them. FYI I got my car on 7th Dec.

Paid the difference amount today. Dealership is saying they'll hopefully deliver the car this month. If Panthera Metal is not available they'll inform me of available colours. Told them I only want Panthera Metal.

So after hearing from some learned members of this forum about the option of paying the balance and receiving their vehicles early within this month, I called my dealership. The sales head very casually, showing little to no concern, told me to bring the balance pay order and get the vehicles within this month. Unscrupulous on the dealership's part not to inform me voluntarily.
Wondering how did these December delivery slots open up all of a sudden? Perhaps a case of certain customers wanting their vehicles invoiced in 2022 instead of 2021?

Probably people cancelling bookings due to price increase.

Please pardon me for putting this query on Civic forum but I have observed comments on tyres of various knowledgable people.My query is regarding Run-Flat tyres essentially required for a BMW 5-series in Islamabad but no issue if available in Karachi or Lahore.An urgent reply will be highly appreciated.

[dosten]

I was told by another dealership not the one from where I booked my car that people have cancelled orders and are getting full refunds because of the price increase and some have gone into litigation which is why December delivery slots have opened up. Whoever is paying the difference amount are getting priority deliveries.

Well since i have driven 70KMs only so its too early to share detailed feedback but yes, what i have observed that in dead slow speed (like to slow down for a speed bump), reflectors are felt a slightly more compared to civic.

[rizla]

Think you need to drive more to experience it fully. The suspension is probably the best of all CKD vehicles in Pakistan in my opinion. Soft yet stable. Sportage just like Civic has a multilink suspension, but less stiff. Feeling the reflector might have more to do with the difference in tyres, Civic tyres have a higher profile as it has 16 inch alloys vs 18 inch on Sportage.

Hey guys why does my sportage go left when I let go off the steering? It's driven approx 5000kms

[rizla]

Alignment issue. Apparently it's a common problem. Even on mine although it doesn't go left, the steering is a bit tilted to the right. You need to get it fixed from them during service.

Any updates bro? Did you get the delivery already? I paid the diff monday, they’ve committed the delivery in this coming week. Dealership is kia samaa lahore.

[dosten]

Still waiting bro. Mine is booked from Kia Port Qasim in Karachi. Last I checked from them on Friday and they said currently AWDs are being delivered. Mine is Alpha and they have yet to get an update from plant.

Guys, aren't they supposed to change the engine oil on first service?
They called me in after a 30 day time period. Just tightened the nuts and bolts, that's it. They told me oil change will occur at 5000 KM and KIA's own branded oil would be used.

[azfarnb]

1st oil change is always at 5k. Oil + oil filter only.

[rizla]

Only a simple checkup at 1000 (which is why it's free). 5000 pe oil change.

[Oblivion]

528kms driven in 2 months and loving the drive so far, the driving comfort and acceleration.

[coolkamran32]

People drive more than 2000 km in one month
