Yup! I got this from the KIA service in Belgrade.
yWhen you install the torus LPG tank in the booth, You loose some space, but honestly, these days, on every 20 km you can see some gas station with car repair shop or something like that and for those occasions, the space saver tyre does the job more than well.
I think that it would be possible to install low-profile LPG tank so that the spare saver can be mounted on top of the tank so that you don't have to carry the spare in the luggage compartment, but has to be checked with the dealer.
I'm going to do the modification in next few weeks and post all info here with some photos
I considered LPG for a while, LPG being 3x cheaper than petrol now. There is a problem with installation:
KIA Croatia has outsourced this, so you go to a guy that has a contract with KIA, and he is bloody expensive (cca 2000€ incl. paperwork).
You loose KIA warranty on parts affected by LPG installation (catalyst, intake manifold...), only two years from the LPG guy.
KIA engines are based, more or less, on Mazda engines (at least before cee'd, I'm not sure if that is still the case). Mazda had severe problems with LPG, burning valve seats within 30000km.
For all this, I wouldn't dare to install LPG. But if KIA Serbia is doing this in house, I would consider a short trip there
