Starting with the 2015 model year, Natural Resources Canada in conjunction with the automotive manufacturers, have introduced a new testing procedure that will result
in higher fuel consumption ratings that are more representative of everyday driving. Kia Canada is one of the first automotive manufacturers to implement the new testing
practice and would like to ensure you fully understand the difference. The new procedure incorporates 3 additional test cycles that account for air conditioner usage, cold
temperature operation, and higher speeds with more rapid acceleration and braking. To learn more, please visit: http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/fcr-rcf/public/index-e.cfm
