Vorige maand stotterde mijn Kia tijdens het rijden. N.a.v. het stotteren heb ik de Kia voor een grote beurt incl. nieuwe bobine en bougiekabels naar de garage gebracht.Het stotteren was voorbij.Echter na een paar dagen startte de auto niet meer in 1 keer, wel uiteindelijk gelukt.Dag later zelfde probleem, ANWB gebeld. Deze heer vertelde mij dat het wel eens aan de krukassensor kon liggen. Er was immers geen vonk in de bougies. Hij sluitte ook uit dat het door de reparatie kwam en puur toeval was dat deze kapot is gegaan.Ik heb uiteindelijk de krukassensor laten vervangen, maar probleem is niet verholpen, ben uiteindelijk terug gegaan naar garage maar die wisten het ook niet.De oplossing die zij aandragen is onderdeel voor onderdeel te vervangen om zo het probleem te verhelpen. Deze optie is voor mij te duur.Heeft iemand ervaring met bovenstaand probleem?Alvast bedankt !Gr. Hans Lees het hele artikel

There’s a lot of excitement around the launch of the all-new Kia Sorento which goes on sale in the global market in early 2015. With its luxurious design, excellent safety features and technology, the all-new Sorento meets all the requirements of being the ideal SUV. To provide an insider’s look at the newest model, we sat down with the Kia teams involved in the development and sales of the all-new Kia Sorento and asked them about what makes it the ideal SUV model for today’s motorists. Below are their answers and some photos taken at signature spots from around the globe. Posing at the Chateau de Fontainebleau, France Product Team – “Bigger cabin and plenty of space” JinWon Kim, manager of Kia Motors Domestic Product Team, was heavily involved in the three-and-a-half-year development of the all-new Sorento. He believes the biggest strength of the all-new Sorento lies in its big and spacious cabin enabled by the improved platform. “In light of the growing popularity of leisure activities, we maximized the usage of space, which is an essential aspect for SUVs,” Kim said during the interview. “By lowering the ground clearance and increasing the length and the wheelbase, we were able to obtain vehicle dimensions that enhance stability,” he added. All-new Sorento in the city of fashion, Paris, France Design Team – “Sophisticated exterior inspired from modern architecture” The all-new Sorento’s luxurious look is certainly eye-catching. Kurt Kahl, the Exterior Design Manager from Kia Motors Design Center America, confirms that “luxury” was indeed at the core of the design. “Compared to the design of the predecessor, which was soft and smooth, the design of the third generation Sorento shows more bold lines, expressing a bold and masculine power,” said Kahl. He also explained his inspiration for this design work: “I usually get my inspiration from artwork, and for the all-new Sorento, I got my inspiration from a building and tried to capture the magnificence of the building – the architectural molding, balance, and stability – in the all-new Sorento.” Admiring the sunset in Jeju Island, Korea Marketing Team – “Bold character with a confident stride” Marketing and communication efforts have been an important part of the launch of the all-new Sorento. Kia Motors Marketing Team has used the term “upper class” to effectively position the new vehicle in the competitive SUV market. “It will be used in our communications with customers to express how the all-new Sorento is one class higher than the competition,” JinSeok Kim from the Domestic Marketing Team explained. He is confident that the all-new Sorento will be a perfect fit for those who appreciate comfort and refinement in a vehicle.

Kia has made some quick changes to its K900 luxury sedan in hopes of capturing more of the market. The Korean automaker has added a base-level Premium trim that will be priced from $55,400 including destination and equips the K900 with HID headlights instead of the LED units found on the Luxury trim, plated 19-inch wheels instead of chromed pieces, 14-speaker sound system instead of a 17-speaker system and the seats are finished in standard leather rather than Nappa leather. The Kia K900 will remain powered by a 5.0-liter V8 with 420 hp and mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

To celebrate the Australian Open 2015, Kia is presenting to the world the Kia X-Car, based on Kia’s all-new Sorento premium SUV. The Kia X-Car was inspired by Wolverine who fights the evil Sentinels with his invincible Adamantium claws in the latest X-Men series, X-Men: Days of Future Past. Watch the Kia X-Car “making of” film for a glimpse behind the scenes and an interview with the design team. Main designer Jung Chul Lee shares the overall concept for the Kia X-Car and its design process. Wolverine’s identity is clearly emblazoned on the all-new Sorento’s front and back, where his signature Adamantium claws provide bold accents, and the ‘X’ on the grill stands for X-Men. The spoiler was inspired by Wolverine’s spiky hair and the voluminous wheel arch gives the X-Car a more powerful look. The interior seats also feature the X-Men’s signature ‘X’, and the claws are prominent on the front dash, completing the Wolverine-inspired Sorento. “When I was offered this opportunity, I jumped at the chance to join this project,” Lee stated in his interview. “Although it was challenging to integrate the feel of a movie character into the car, it was a rewarding experience and our team really enjoyed the Kia Sorento show car production.” So what do you think of the Kia X-Car? We’re sure that it will lend an added element of excitement to the Australian Open 2015. Lees hele artikel

Ik ben op dit moment op wintersport in le corbier Frankrijk. Ik ben aangekomen en alles prima. Auto geparkeerd, 10 graden achterover. En klaar. Drie dagen later wilde we een stukje rijden en ik start de auto.Direct gaat hij na normaal starten naar de 3800 a 4000 toeren stationair. Uit gezet, geen rook ofzo te zien. Weer aan, het zelfde. Klein stukje rijden, 100m, uitgezet, 5 min gewacht en weer gestart. Toen steeg hij naar 2000 toeren. Stukje rijden, bij rotonde met koppeling in wel wat onzeker in toeren maar niet hoog ofzo. 6 km gereden en alles prima. geparkeerd en niks aan de hand, laat hem nog 3 min stationair lopen en in eens vloog hij weer naar 4000 toeren. Iemand een idee wat dit is? En of dit schadelijk is om er mee naar huis te rijden.Nogmaals verder niks geen rook of iets dergelijks! Alvast dank! Lees het hele artikel

Most of us would agree that driving an electric vehicle is an eco-friendly and cost-efficient choice when it comes to choosing a car. Despite its multiple advantages, the relatively short range of EVs has been a major concern for many car buyers. In terms of range, Kia Soul EV is setting a new benchmark in its class, with a single-charge driving distance of 132 miles. Next Green Car, a group of renowned eco and green car experts based in the UK, recently conducted a real-world range test to verify Soul EV’s actual driving range. The results were even better than could be imagined! Watch as the Soul EV takes a range test through the beautiful cities and countryside of Somerset and Wiltshire in the UK: After driving the test route designed to reflect real world conditions, including heavy traffic, huge ups and downs on a countryside road network, and high speed demands, Soul EV achieved a range of 125.3 miles, with nine miles remaining on the display. That is a total range potential of 134.3 miles, even in challenging weather and road conditions. Furthermore, a diagnostics report showed that the vehicle still had 13% battery remaining, which conservatively equates to 15 miles of extra range. Drivers can expect to benefit from the extra range afforded by the Soul EV’s intelligent regenerative braking system and by complying with frugal driving tips. This range test has once again proven that Soul EV is an appealing electric vehicle for customers looking for practicality and cost-efficiency, not to mention Kia Motors Europe’s industry-leading 7 year warranty.

De belangrijkste zijn: lading te laag (state of charge) en staat van de batterij (state of battery). Deze moeten minimum 80% zijn.
