The new Sportage 2022 is here with new platform, engines, design and tech
The shapely fifth generation Kia Sportage has landed with a quantum leap forward in refinement, style, safety and tech. We currently have limited stock of diesel LX and LX plus available in NZ.
With three engine options, front or all-wheel drive, and four trim levels, there’s no shortage of choice when deciding a Sportage that’s right for you in either petrol or AWD diesel models. The range kicks off with the entry-level Sportage LX followed by the LX+ then the Deluxe, with the most lavishly equipped variant being the AWD Sportage X-Line. Headlining the features and standard equipment list of the entry-grade front wheel drive Sportage LX with petrol engine and auto transmission 6 speed, priced from $39,990 plus on-road costs are: Rear-view camera and parking sensors, Leather-clad steering wheel, LED headlights and taillights, cruise control, 8.0-inch infotainment touch-screen display, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay with wireless play, Bluetooth connectivity, 17-inch alloy wheels and a fullsize alloy spare.
Safety-wise, all Kia Sportage models have autonomous emergency braking (AEB) that helps avoid collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists in front of the vehicle plus intersection assist which applies the brakes if a potential collision is detected when turning right across an intersection.
Features also extends to seven airbags (including a central airbag up front), anti-lock brakes with multi-collision braking, downhill brake and hill start assist, electronic stability and traction control, a rear-view camera and rear parking sensors.
There’s a raft of driver assist aids as well, such as lane follow and lane keep assist, a speed limiter, driver attention alert with lead vehicle departure, safe exit warning and tyre pressure monitoring.
If you are looking at top of the line features and you are after heated and cooling front seats the X-Line Sportage is for you which also has a panoramic power sunroof. Also exclusive to the Sportage X-Line are 64 colours of ambient interior LED lighting, alloy sports pedals and metal scuff plates.
The AWD diesel models have a 1900kg braked towing capacity. The petrol engines with the auto and DCT are1650kg braked towing capacity. There is stock available for mid-February for delivery of LX and LX plus Diesel models.
