I was just picking up furniture with my girlfriend. We rented a “Kia Sportage 2.0 2WD LX” from her grandpa with 140 petrol hp (without turbo) for space. The vehicle weighs just 1540kg according to the vehicle’s license (empty weight). Compared to identically motorized vehicles like VW Sharan and the Ford Galaxy (140hp), we found that the engine does not “pull fish off the plate” *Dur No matter in which speed range, you don’t have the feeling that you have 140hp under the rear. The vehicle performance is not even comparable to 90hp of vehicles like the old Ford Escort 1.6l, Mazda 323F BA 1.5l. I would compare the power related to the weight to a Ford Fiesta JAS with 75hp in terms of acceleration, even at higher km/h numbers (120 upwards). My question to you… is that “normal” in the model? Are d as “Kia-PS”? (Fake), I seriously wonder where the power is… even if you turn the gears up… (6000U/min) No comparison with “real 140PS” and we’re not talking about turbo engines here and like a truck the KIA doesn’t look like either. (A lot of power at low speeds). Please explain to someone. I don’t try to talk bad about the car, but I’m starting to wonder if the “friendly” didn’t mess with my girlfriend’s grandpa. 5 gears and 140PS are normal with the M odell according to researches on the Internet. (what a bullshit, result -> 10l consumption cozy) Thank you for all answers and efforts in advance!
