Soot from Euro 6 is five times less than that of Euro 4. You can get away with it for a few years but that should affect engine performance and durability a few years down the road.

Like how Mazda actually sent samples of our diesel fuel so that the Skyactiv-D could launch.<br /><br />There are others, and it's a vast majority of them, who can only order products and specs that match with local requirements including what gasoline we use.<br /><br />In the Ferrari example that you mentioned, did you know it has to undergo expensive servicing to keep its emission system running well for our country? High end cars such as these can pretty much have expensive routine servicing built in into their PMS. For cars like the Picanto? That's not too viable. <br /><br />As the guy on top said, they can sell it and have the warranty void... But will a consumer accept that? I'm sure he or she will just say that their car is defective and all that.

They just want to short change the third world customers by charging the same price for what would be their top spec engines by claiming fuel quality issues Its a lie... if a ferrari can run on shell premium i think a kia can... you should be advancing this theory instead of protecting a corporate sham. In short, we are being shortchanged and you perpetuate it.queryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00733008598370761115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-14846873954835091362017-04-19T15:03:29.691+08:002017-04-19T15:03:29.691+08:00Pag dating dito sa pilipinas ang Kia Picanto.

Hyundai couldn't do it either with the GDI engine unless we shifted to Euro 4. In the end, it's up to each manufacturers' own testing procedure to find our if our fuels are compatible or not. We'll see if the 1.0 T-GDI is, but Kia did say, it needs Euro 6.

This picanto looks promising for those looking for a mini city car. But locally, I would expect that they would not offer the top variant in other countries, they would most probably offer the "top variant" that doesn't even have a touchscreen, like what the local Hyundais and Kias here. I wish HARI wouldn't strip down these good cars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
