Hi Steemians!
The fact is that the current generation of the famous Kia Sportage is sold in China under the index KX5, but the name Sportage here is called another model, already in 2010, which is sold in parallel.
When the Koreans showed the NP concept at the Guangzhou motor show in November last year, it was clear that it would soon be transformed into a serial model. The car kept the old platform (length 4460 mm, wheelbase 2640 mm), but the external body parts were updated completely.
In Kia consider the target audience of the local Sportage serious, burdened with a family of people, because the design of the crossover is quite conservative and boring. Circle a flat surface, the abundance of chrome and bright piece of steel led lights "ice cubes" that global Kia models available in top trim levels.
The interior is also entirely composed of straight lines, but quite modern. So, in the center of the dashboard placed a 7-inch screen on-Board computer, and at the top of the center console is an 8-inch screen infotainment system, like the latest Kia models sold in other markets. The climate control unit is located on the Central console" tide".
The car is quite feature-rich. In addition to the mentioned climate control, the list of options includes heated seats, panoramic roof, Parking assistance system and even a marking tracking system and emergency automatic braking in front of an obstacle.
Crossover received the only power unit: 2-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 161 HP as transmissions offered as a 6-speed manual transmission, and the classic machine. The car is strictly front-wheel drive.
