5th Generation Kia Sportage "NQ5" , Discussion Thread

[pwuser167550015690]

Tuscon 4th gen is also the same size as the Sportage 5th gen, and both are available in in Short and Long Wheel Base models.

Tuscon and Sportage have been the same platform and vehicle for quite a long time. Don't forget that Hyundai actually owns Kia so they develop their vehicles jointly and mostly only make stylistic changes while most structural and mechanical underpinnings are the same.

So you will have a KIA counterpart to every Hyundai vehicle, like Sportage and Tuscon, Sorento and Santa Fe, Carnival and Staria, K5 / Optima and Sonata etc.

People must teach them a lesson and not pay own money. Its the mark up on haval which jacked all these pricing from hyundai, kia and now jac which raised rpicing hy 0.7 mil. Dollar is stable so no need to hurry.

What’s the update, has the arrogance of dealerships/lucky toned down a bit?

I keep seeing ads when browsing about Sportage launch starting from just 9.7 million. 🥹

[abbasqamar3166]

Agreed

[sarmadraheem]

Yes, their ad campaigns on internet are kind of desperate. lagta hai fans and tube wali websites (you know what i mean), pe bhe sportage k he ads hon ge.

They are on the ground now. Yesterday two dealerships contacted me from Lahore to buy HEV. I told them I have already bought the Santa Fe Signature. Which is having same 1.6 GDI Turbo engine but it is 7 seater AWD with a difference of 1 Million only. Few other my friends who were for sportage HEV changed thier minds and opted for Santa Fe. Even Santa Fe Smart is is for 125 lacs which is 7 lac cheaper the spirtage HEV crap.

[mgalaxy3]

Good.
MG HS PHEV is also like 3 mil+ cheaper I think. So is Jolion HEV.

[zee5han]

Good , its time they got a reality check.

[missiledefence]

SantaFe smart beats sportage HEV any given day. no brainer.

[Nabeel_Ali]

Never have I ever seen a launch this flop. Lucky group Idiots ruined their bread and butter by launching it at absurd prices.
Sportage HEV 135
FWD 125
and Taxi Alpha 103
All on road prices which are 3-4 million more then their Chinese counterparts. All showrooms are empty as if they are about to pack up. And new Sportage doesn't reflect its pricing as well. It is really ordinary infront of D segment Santa Fe which is miles better and also cheaper Chinese options which all have more features and better road presence.

and taba sahab give big advices about economy on geo TV. He must get rid of his pricing team.

by the way both of their Chief financial and chief strategy officers are ex Toyota guys ...funny!

[pwuser163456691455]

Who is this guy?. Is he anyway related to KIA Lucky Motors?

[waqasahmed03]

owner of lucky group. He is a smart guy with a dumb team.

[waqasahmed03]

Munj sahab is such a hypocrite.

In february he predicted this for Sportage

But on launch day, as he had the numbers from Lucky Motors, he casually predicted another price!

The bad part about him is that he never said a word about sportage wrong pricing, he rather deflected a similar question with his usual chatter against the own mafia. anyways, what can one expect from a typical lahorie.

[Abd008]

He is a business man, not a true car enthusiast. simple commission agent.

[abbasqamar3166]

Yup he is.. and i can tell most unrealistic rivews he give about cars . He is running production house for youtube etc for $$$ bcz 2m plus subs means more ads more money at least he must be earning 4 million a month from tube..

[waqasahmed03]

Love you mansha sahab!!

[waqasahmed03]

[mgalaxy3]

This is the end of Sportage.. and maybe Haval too.

[abbasqamar3166]

Haval no way.. sportage i cant say rn
