BenTrevor Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I have been researching Sportages for several weeks and intended to schedule a viewing until I encountered some articles concerning the GPS systems. Given that I only undertake relatively short commutes to and from work, I am concerned it may be a problem. Do all petrol models experience issues, or only specific ones? I am examining the 2023 - 2024 1.6 T-GDi GT-Line, which I believe is a conventional non-hybrid vehicle. What additional prevalent issues should be monitored in these models? I am presently driving a 2023 Hyundai I20N, which is the most dependable vehicle I have owned. I was concerned that the Sportage might be underpowered, but I discovered several firms providing remaps that exceed 200 bhp, which would be optimal. Has anyone had theirs remapped?

Screwdriver_1 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Conduct a search for GPF issues; a remap voids the warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenTrevor Posted October 21 Author Share Posted October 21 Hello, I have read the GPF thread regarding issues, but I am uncertain whether it pertains to the full hybrid models or the 148bhp variants as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 The GPF issues predominantly affect petrol-only variants; a GPF poll on the forum will provide insight into the amount of affected users. Following the first shock of encountering a GPF issue, the majority of individuals adhered to the cleaning protocol and ceased further complaints. I owned a 2024 manual vehicle with 148bhp and covered 8000 miles without seeing any GPF issues, despite a variety of driving circumstances. I believe driving style significantly influences this, as the self-cleaning process occurs during overrun conditions; thus, a lack of engine braking may increase susceptibility to difficulties. Upon reviewing the Sportage forum, you will identify any issues that have arisen. The most advantageous aspect is the seven-year guarantee; thus, ensure that the service book is properly stamped and that Kia's terms and conditions have been fulfilled.

BenTrevor Posted October 21 Author Share Posted October 21 I have installed a resonant GPF delete on my Hyundai; perhaps this may be a solution for the Sportage to mitigate the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
