What are your expectations from the new 5th-generation Kia Sportage? Please share your thoughts with us in the comments section.
The price of non hybrid should compete with Toyota cross and haval h6. Anything above 1cr so be difficult for buyers to choose this option.
Having a new face does not means that the old model will remain to have the same price.
