Long-term experience KIA Sportage QL FL 177 PS 1.6 T-GDI Spirit 2019

Moin, I would like to write a short report about our 2019 KIA Sportage. It is the facelift model with 177 HP in Dark Pentametallic (black). We bought the car NEW in May 2019 as so-called EU vehicle, which comes close to the German “Spirit” equipment. However, with the restriction to 17″ instead of 19″ rims and without the steering wheel heater – otherwise he has the Spirit equipment incl. partial leather. r had previously also driven the 136 hp version sample – but this engine is too undermotorized from my point of view. At that time the price was significantly lower than the offers we had received from a German KIA dealer. In the past years we were 3x for inspection at KIA, with self-made oil the costs per inspection were between 75€ and 180€. TÜV passed this month without any problems. We did not have a single problem in the last three years and therefore no problem. I am still very satisfied with the car, so that I can actually report nothing negative. The consumption is on average about 8.5 liters / 100 km – this is certainly not a best value but to be expected. At present the car has about 42 TKm down. Nothing nickles, the seating comfort is great and the equipment with BT, large Navidisplay etc. modern. The rear seat heating needs no one, but is nice to have. The Panaoramadac h is an extra that I would order again and again. In addition to the attractive design, the decisive factor for the purchase back then was of course also the 7-year guarantee.
