[aqgmbest]

The fogs which comes in pkdm sportsge are not beautiful but they are best brightest fog lights ever came in a pkdm / jdm car IMO i am very impressed .
If you still want to buy and have any acquaintance in china then there is a app called jd.com which is way cheaper than ali express and have almost everything

Today visited KIA dealrship in peshawar. They just had one sportage in blue color. It was luking gud in blue but i wanted to see in white..
Finishing and overall quality is superb. Ground clearance luks fyn to me and they told that initial units were cbu and thr ground clearance was less but in local assembled units we have increased it.
Delivery time is 30 to 45 days.

[fazalwahab11375]

Well.. as per offical Pakistan assembled Sportage specification , it is same as international sportage as far as the ground clearance..

[mohluvhonda]

Yes Its 172 mm everywhere, i just checked. Its same as corolla and less then vitara,brv and vezel etc.
But overall i liked its looks and finishing. Far better then other local assembled cars.

[drtariqazeem]

I think its more than Vitara and Vezel...
(Vitara at home)

[drtariqazeem]

Your City Brother?

[mohluvhonda]

In spec sheets.. vitara and vezel has 180 mm and brv has 201mm. Sportage ground clearance is 172mm. Corolla also has 172mm but to me its clearance looked more than my grande. I mean when i was looking at it.. it clearly looked more than corolla.. ppl who are already using it can tell better if it touches higher jumps etc when loaded.

[fazalwahab11375]

Sportage ground clearance looks higher and reason is you are seeing a taller vehicle, with bigger wheels , bigger wheel arches with respect to Corolla or any other vehicle and which gives perception of a vehicle with higher ground clearance.

Measurement are not taken on basis of one's perception. It is taken with a standard and in this case a measuring tape or any other measuring tool. If PKDM Sportage spec says 172mm.. it will be 172mm for Sportage with stock wheels and designed suspension, air pressure in tires.

I remember when Sportage was a proper 4x4 SUV. Funny how it has turned into a car with the same ground clearance as a Corolla.

[drtariqazeem]

Best ground clearance is of Civic X

[mohluvhonda]

Fazal sb dont u think its a little less compared to size and catagory of the car?
Secondly as u said it just looked higher thn corolla, but with bigger tires and arches then corolla, will it still be touching in areas whr corolla do. I mean they both will perform same?
Is it possible they have changed it according to our conditions as ther sales manager was saying that v have slightly increased it. Though i doubt him.
Overall i really liked that car but this one thing is my concern as rite now i am living in abottabad and jumps here are too high and roads are rough.
Your opinion in this regard will be helpful.

[darthvader]

I forgot. Same ground clearance as a corolla and an engine less powerful than a civic

Asalam-O-Aliqum!
Have booked a sportage and will be receiving it in a few days In Shaa Allah.
Need to ask a few questions for which I could not find answers in the above discussion.

1. Registration cost in Islamabad for a filer.
2. Fuel economy (Someone who really have actual figures)

Thanks In advance for the help!
