A long known phenomenon. For quite a while now, at least since 2006, manufacturers have been doing this by as much as 7%. This is more noticeable on modern digital speedos.

The SatNav will be the more accurate but if you're like me I use the car speedo going through cameras and specs zones.

The car speedo must not read slower (under read) than you are actually going. So to allow for tyre wear etc. (speedo will read faster as tyres wear), they are deliberately set to over read on new tyres by about 5 to 10%.
The speed on your sat nav is much more accurate for your actual speed.
