St220 Neutral Newbie February 11, 2011 Share February 11, 2011 An update, official launch will be on 18 Feb. Latest price with COE will be $115999 with $6000 overtrade. A good news and bad news For those who are interested in the high specs, the following items will be added in. Paranomic roof, HID, 6 air bags, wood trims, factory reverse cam (integrated into rear view mirror), ventilated seats with factory leather seats, supervisor claster meter. All this for a top up of $10k. Bad news ETA could be up to 6 months or more due to world wide demand. Cheers Hi Merkava, I've booked the K5 yesterday. After seeing your thread, I called my SA as I prefer the higher specs model. His reply is C&C will not take in order for the higher spec. Not convince, got him to escalate to the management which got the same reply. Reason, the higher spec version still in negotiation stage, $10k is an estimated value, may not be materialise. If u are able to confrim the deal @ $10k pls pm me. cheers ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I noticed from the pictures, there isn't leather trim on the centre console? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kt2u 1st Gear February 12, 2011 Share February 12, 2011 Test drove this car, very stylish and impressive array of features. Drive is average but pretty decent power nevertheless. Missus thinks it's a tad too masculine for her liking though :( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missus thinks it's a tad too masculine for her liking though :( Congrats on your new car! I read that worldwide demand for the K5 very good and supply cannot keep up with demand. With its gorgeous styling and impressive array of features that's to be expected. Are you taking the 1st shipment? What colour did you choose? While I was there, I saw 5 K5s and the colour . were black, white, silver, dark grey and maroon and I think the white looks fantastic. I prefer light colours anyway.

Kt2u 1st Gear February 15, 2011 Share February 15, 2011 I test drove the black though and it looks awesome. Was getting the stares when I stopped at the traffic lights during the test drive ;) I think ppl can't believe it's a KIA :P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cttan456 2nd Gear February 15, 2011 Share February 15, 2011 Congrats ST220 on your new ride! I am not surprised to hear that the waiting list is 6 mths. This car is in big demand worldwide. I read that the Europe launch has been delayed and they may have to wait up to 12 mths to get their K5 due to overwhelming demand in the US and Korea. Just like all these people all over the world, you will soon be the proud owner of one of the best looking 4 door sedans I have ever seen. Is your car the 1st batch? What colour did you choose?

What colour did you choose? thanks bro. Ya it is. There r 20 K5 when I booked it last week, not sure how many will be available for booking during this weekend official launch, or is it tomorrow? Initially wanted black. After comparing the available test drive rides side by side, find that black color will mask away the details of the K5, especially the front side vents and the body lines. I opt for Satin Metal, last available piece... White is nice too, but no stock... cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
