1st August, 2013
Kia’s Sportage compact SUV has added a little Euro savoir-fare with the
arrival of the Slovakian-built Series II models.
The car is essentially the same as the Korean-built original which has been winning converts since it was launched in
late 2010.
The Sportage Series II, on sale now, adds HID headlamps, static cornering lamps, aero blade front wipers, partial
leather seat trims, rear seat warmer, front wiper de-icer and an Active ECO mode on the diesel automatic.
The cars are identical from the front and side but the rear design cues vary slightly with a Series II badge, the rear
reflector cluster now incorporates fog lamps and a slight variation to the lower bumper design.

Interior variations include a new leather seat stitch pattern and colour, new head restraints design, central locking
button on both driver and passenger doors, lockable glove box, digital clock now incorporated into the audio display,
more soft-touch materials and an air-conditioning system that can deliver hot and cold air from seven independent vent
modes.
“Really, the only problem we have had since the arrival of the Sportage is getting enough to meet demand,” Kia
Motors Australia Chief Operating Officer, Tony Barlow, said. “The opportunity to have consistent supply by taking
production from Europe makes perfect sense and will benefit customers and dealers alike.”
“While this is the first European-built Kia on the market in Australia, it will not be the last with the exciting
pro_cee’d GT coming
from the same Zilina production facility early next year.”
The Sportage Series II will be available in three trim levels - Si, SLi and Platinum - with 2WD for Si models in
manual and automatic while SLi and Platinum will be 4WD automatic only.
The existing 2.4-litre will be deleted from the range with the 2.0-litre MPI Theta II petrol engine available in all
three grades while the 2.0-litre R Diesel (now Euro 5 compliant) is available in SLi and Platinum grades.
