Has somebody upgraded their partial booking from FWD to AWD? I am thinking of upgrading to AWD, will it affect the delivery timeline?

Anybody know the waiting period for Sportage FWD? I am planning to book FWD in Red color.

5-7 months. I booked mine in April, tentative delivery in August, actual delivery i'm being told will be in Sep/Oct lol

Damn, I have wedding anniversary in Oct and was planning it as present

15 days to the full payment.

So I just checked with the dealership, he is like we will give you an AWD (in the latest batch) i.e. November instead of August lol. So I will be sticking to FWD.

As per user feedback my June booking might go till December considering Kia gave an October tentative delivery on PBO

Quality of the assembly (interior & exterior) is still maintained right?
I hope it has not been downgraded

I don't have a reference to compare in detail but mine just delivered has very good paint quality and interior finish. Equal or better than a Civic and a Grande that I travel in frequently.
Plus I don't see any noticeable difference between this and a year old model that I tried a few weeks ago.

Quality of the paint & parts is great. However, there’s a whole kumho tyres fiasco going on. Apparently a user faced vehicular damage due to the tyre belt getting stripped off on the highway. Moreover, several other users are complaining about the same thing, i.e poor quality of Kumho tyres. Lets see what happens

Yeah, not sure whats going on with sportage and its tires.

@fazalwahab11375 would definitely have more information about recent reports .

fazalwahab11375 (fazalwahab11375) 2021-07-13 21:06:33 +0500 #2911

I am in contact with multiple owners of vehcile with tire issue with one even with total loss of vehicle. Will write on it soon and share .

Sportage which is known as the most successful vehicle in South Korean automaker’s lineup has now become the first Kia model to exceed global cumulative sales of 6 million units. From its launch in 1993 to May 2021, a total of 6,136,357 units were sold around the world, according to Kia. https://carspiritpk.com/sportage-becomes-the-first-kia-model-to-exceed-6-million-units/?fbclid=IwAR1aNbJpLjUIa43cVhkJJzzZlfto2H8SKhCrLwJ4IXX-sn3mUXDGos3rERE

Same story in my case. 1 month overdue but still the company cannot confirm a delivery date. Dishonest company. I am doubtful of the 4-year warranty clams as well.

waleed80 (Waleed Akhtar) 2021-07-18 15:15:17 +0500 #2916

What is the fuel average of FWD users on motorway @120 with AC on? Any idea?
