Cttan456 2nd Gear January 19, 2011 Share January 19, 2011 (edited) Korea was the 1st country to get the K5 and it has already outsold the i45. North America was the next to get it and it was an instant success and looks set to overtake the i45 soon as well as some popular Jap makes. Some key things to note: We are getting the same front rear bumpers and side skirts, rear boot lip, grille, 18 inch rims, rear LED tail lights as the range topping SX Turbo in the US. In the US only the top SX turbo get all these exterior enhancements. Believe me, these extras gives it an extra edge. I have compared both side by side. The only thing missing is the dual exhaust but we get the DRL which the US don't. That's a pretty good start for the exterior. Its gonna knock the socks off all similar priced sedans in the looks department.... Edited January 19, 2011 by Cttan456 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cttan456 2nd Gear January 19, 2011 Share January 19, 2011 (edited) Merkava, I have some questions to ask about the interior. 1. Does it come with the 3.5 inch TFT colour trip computer display? 2. From what I see in other markets, dual zone climate control is standard across all models. Is that the case with the S'pore version? 3. Which head unit does it come with? Is it the one with the 7inch sat nav screen? Thanks Edited January 19, 2011 by Cttan456 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt comes with supervisor cluster meter 2. Yes. Dual zone climate control with ioniser is a standard 3. It is just a standard factory fitted player with single CD. USB/Ipod as well. No touch screen GPS Sorry for the slow reply Cheers Edited January 19, 2011 by Merkava Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cttan456 2nd Gear January 19, 2011 Share January 19, 2011 (edited) Thanks Merkava, that was a quick enough reply. Forgot to ask if it comes with the reverse cam display integrated into the rear view mirror. Also, I assume the HU is not the Infinity version. What about cruise control? Thanks!
