Hi guys, I jus confirm the new sportage last weekend. I read somewhere that its supposed to be a 6-speaker system with amp and a sub. But the sales guy told me this audio configuration is only for the 1st generation last year ( plus it only 2 airbags ).
The new ones on sale now has 2 tweeters 2 speakers infront, 2 speakers behind, No amp, No sub but upgrade to 6 airbags.
Anyone with the new sportage but bought last year can confirm that theirs has the amp and sub with 2 airbags only? Lastly, does anyone know if the 2 speakers at the rear passenger doors are component speakers ( I gather the fronts are components )?
Thanks.

Hi DL, I dont own a Sportage but you are right from my understanding from my SE that there is a difference in Audio & Airbag installed. The 6 airbag is confirmed.
Maybe during your next visit to the showroom bring along a thumb drive with heavy beat music and plug it into the car (close door) and test the system for sub or feel the music. You can try to locate the amp by putting your hand under the passenger sit (Floor Base) if there is am Amp beneath it (This I am not sure but mine was there).
Test out and drive it for a while upon collection and see if you really need a ICE Mod.

Bro, thanks for the advise.
But prob not going to showrm anymore since I booked the ride and is now awaiting the 6 bids. However, the sportage at the showrm confirmed no subwoofer. The amp I'm not sure. But the music and chinese songs played are really good. Crisp and clear. But I doubt if play bass-heavy tunes, the effect will be good. The stock system is pretty decent but probably adding a active sub below the seat.

Yup. Finish all the doc for booking the new ride and trade in my vios all at a go. Trade-in price not very good but does save all the hassle. Can drive until the day I take new car.

First batch comes with sub and amps, later batch no more but airbags increase from 2-6 though. Check the vehicle when collecting, may have a few dings here and there.

I also have problem on the color, as after 3 month, my shipment is still not confirm and I have to change colour, total waiting time up to 6 mths. wahahaha Just ensure you check everything upon collection make sure what you see is what you get.

@#$%^&*!!!...... SE bid at $62,999. COE price at $63k. Out-bid by one bloody dollar. Haha.. same situation. By the way, Its not your SE bid the COE. They will have 1 team bidding your COE. I'm outbidded by $1.00 too. hahaha.. But I don't mind, as I find that COE is too high for me to change my 4.5 yr FD. Anyway, my SE has not call me to update on COE status. BUT... dont expect me to top up. I'm not so keen to change car as my FD is still serving me very well.

White is a nice color, though difficult to maintain. As long as wash 2 time a week with water is enough. Anyway, how much did you pay for your SX?

Hahaha.. I didn't get it too. I think your SE will call you soon to top up. I get a sms from my SE yesterday. he told me he will call me this afternoon. I texted him to say don't bother to call me as I'm not interested in topping up.

My SE jus called me jus now. Didn't mention anything abt top-up. But till yesterday bidding is jus the 2nd try. 4 more to go.
If this goes on, might forgo the deal. Not interested in topping up too. My wife told me might as well wait till the price comes down then maybe get a Citreon C4. Haha.
