This is the redesigned new-for-2015 KIA Sorento.

[dsman]

Anyone gotten the tonneau cover or boot cover from AD or other sources? It is very expensive from AD.

Cheap China knockoffs are that... cheap but you might want to consider if it is safe, and if it passes safety standard... the plastics in the cover may emit dangerous gases when your car is being sunned... there's a reason why the original parts are more expensive. You can consider importing the original from somewhere else if the AD's price is too high.

Thanks for your advice. Do you have any lobang or link to share regarding importing original tonneau cover?

Thanks dsman. Btw, did you get tonneau cover for your Sorento?

 

My SE wanted to throw that in...but I did not want it. I had one for my previous suv, and found it cumbersome. 

If you need the last row of seats often or carry big items in your boot, you don't need it

Anyway, the solar film is already a good cover for whatever you need hidden. 

all depends on your preferences

original or not...up to you to discern

 I thought you can hide it under the bottom of the boot floor?

no...i dont think so. r u able to?

[Vratenza]

There is a slot for that.

you're right. just went out to take a look, and there is indeed a slot for it. called up a fellow sorento owner and he told me the tonneau cover can be placed in that slot in less than 10 seconds. so overall, very convenient for those who would like to have the cover.

I think Malaysia Sorento also getting 7" TFT LTD. Don't understand the logic of 4.3" for SG.

In singapore, all SX versions come with this 7" TFT LCD

 

I am most interested to see if the Malaysians also get the 4.3" headunit. If they get a bigger one, then perhaps we can change for that up north.

[Vratenza]

I believe he meant the HU in the center

ok. that's a picture of a sorento in the middle east. same headunit as the europeans 

[OeteM]

Other than the tonneau cover that I asked previously, did anyone install Thule on their roof rack for bicycles and cargoes? If yes, which thule model is recommended and cost?

 

My car is going to due in September. Need to make a decision next month.

Available in a base 2.2 LS diesel, along with 2.4 MS and 2.4 HS petrols.

 

Based on the pictures, It seems to me that only the LS version is getting the same HU as us.

 

The MS and HS are getting the bigger HU screen

Thanks for the information. If spore can't get the bigger HU through CnC (they kept saying it's coming), then changing up north is getting more and more plausible.

Keep me inform if you have changed to the bigger HU up north.

 

Maybe I will need to book the car next month. However, the difference between EX vs SX has increased from $10k to $13k.
