Kia is reportedly all set to introduce the 5th generation Sportage into Pakistan. The 5th generation was introduced three years ago in the global market, and Pakistan is left behind with the 4th generation. Hopefully, by next year, Kia Lucky Motors will bring the CKD 5th generation to our local market.
The 5th generation Kia Sportage is a well-equipped car ideal for everyday family use. It has all the high-tech, modern, enticing options that you expect from a 21st-century car. Like its brother Tucson, this new Sportage gets the same curvy designs, but theyâre more polished. It also has X-shaped headlight stylings, which seem like they came from the future. Surely, itâll be a head-turner on Pakistani roads.
Sit inside, and youâll be confused if youâre sitting in a modern EV. Because itâs 4K IPS, you get a nice twin-screen setup, one for an instrumental cluster and the other for watching Netflix.
Although worldwide, itâs an upper-middle-class family car for mid-size families. However, due to inflation and low buying power, even the current Sportage is considered an elite-class car, and the new Sportage, which is already rumored to be Rs. 90 lacs, will be regarded as an upper-elite segment luxury car.
However, considering our Pakistani marketâs new options, at Rs. 90 lacs, this C-segment Kia crossover still makes sense for those on a budget. Below are the detailed specs and features of this car so that you can decide for yourself if the new generation is worth it.
Note: All the features mentioned are for the international variant, which costs approximately 9.6 million PKR for the base variant. The Pakistani variant may undergo some cost-cutting measures to reduce the overall price.
