RUNNING IN does new car kia sportage need to be run in ,as they say because its new engine ,any advice please ..

There is a school of thought that says modern cars do not need to be run in.

Many, including myself, think it’s common sense that when you’ve got new metal parts rubbing together at high temperatures, it is sensible to drive with restraint and empathy.

Keep revs below 3000 RPM for the first 500 miles, gradually increase that limit but avoid maximum acceleration until you’ve done 1000 miles.

The other guide is a download link on the KIA owners forum so I’ve linked the page for you. The link you want is post number 10 by aerofly. It’s a quick guide to the infotainment system. 12.8 MB is the size you’re after.

@mickyarmy

Surely that’s not right?

Do you mean 28/30 miles of electric?
