On December 10, information on the fifth generation of the Kia Sportage crossover appeared in the Rosstandart database, which will be produced locally for our market at the Avtotor Kaliningrad plant.
In Russia, a version with a long body will be released, as in the United States and South Korea, where it breaks sales records, but the salon will only have five seats. The dimensions of the car are 4660 x 1865 x 1660 with a wheelbase of 2755 mm. This version has additional windows in the rear pillars. The previous generation had dimensions of 4485 x 1855 x 1645 mm and a wheelbase of 2670 mm.
The car will initially receive gasoline naturally aspirated engines: four-cylinder G4NL 2.0 (150 hp, 192 Nm) with multipoint injection and G4KN 2.5 (190 hp, 242 Nm) with combined injection, which can be powered by AI-92. With the first engine, manual transmission and automatic transmission will be installed, as well as front or all-wheel drive. The older version will only have an 8-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. There is no information yet about hybrid versions that are in other countries of the world.
The list of equipment includes climate control, ERA-Glonass and a tire pressure monitoring system. In addition, the car should receive LED optics, a digital instrument cluster, a large-screen multimedia system, adaptive cruise control and many electronic assistants.
In Russia, the start of sales is scheduled for the first half of next year.
