The Kia Sportage revised in the driving report
The Review of a successful model is not without risk for a brand. What is technically possible after a few years of construction, what can be financed and what is required. At Sportage, Kia focuses on new support systems and engines, and celebrates one last but seriously damaged.
S P-X / Frankfurt. The Sportage is the best-selling Kia model with more than 140,000 units sold in Germany. After about two and a half years building the fourth generation now, the SUV now has a relatively large overhaul. The modifications made to the 4.49-meter compact vehicle relate primarily to engines and support systems, but also include the usual because during the life of a relatively inexpensive vehicle to achieve, accurate optical adjustments of accessories such as headlights, taillights and fog and front and rear apron, There are also new alloy wheels and five new exterior colors. The base price of the 1.6-liter (97 kW / 132 hp) and front-wheel-drive version increases vigorously from 19,900 to 22,190 euros, according to German CEO Steffen Cost, adjusted for equal equipment, including the engine for base – like all workouts – now with SCR-Kat wraps up and should be future proof thanks to the achievement of the Euro 6d-temp emission standard. The Sportage is available from the month of August in the trade. Otherwise, you will find the most exciting changes in the readers sector. The most important news: Kia continues to rely on diesel and predicts the revised Sportage even two new diesel engines. The previous 1.7-liter diesel Koreans replace it with a modern 1.6-liter, which, like its predecessor, also in two power levels (85 kW / 115 hp and 100 kW / 136 hp) is available. Kia is expressly committed to diesel technology with the new engine, a position that deserves to be mentioned these days. For the largest diesel with 2.0-liter displacement and SCR Kat Kia is the first time at Sportage on a unit with 48-volt lithium-ion battery and starter generator. This allows an additional increase of 12 kW / 16 hp in acceleration situations, such as when overtaking on the highway. At the same time, the system allows the engine to be shut down at speeds of less than 30 km / h, eg freewheeling or braking. According to Kia, the system should allow savings of up to 10%, depending on the driving situation. However, the extra battery costs about 40 liters, storage space, so only 440 instead of 480 liters are available here. The top model is 38.190 euros in the price list. The reader convinces after a little commemoration turbo break at around 1500 laps with a strong pbad, but he runs rough and is not exactly calm. At a little test ride, the consumption was only about 5 liters and therefore in the normal range. The Mild Hybrid System lacks a bit of fine tuning, when running engine jumps already turned off quite abruptly and not at ease again. By the way, by 2020, the light hybrid offer in the Sportage will be further increased, and then the new small diesel will also receive the system – in both power versions (115 and 136 horsepower). In addition to the engines, the interior also paid special attention to the interior: the steering wheel and the dashboard have been redesigned and the customer can choose between two display sizes for the D & D system. Infotainment and navigation – in addition to the 7-inch version It also has a built-in 8-inch frameless touch screen. The instruments are clearly drawn and the letters are large, but the badpit seems a little overloaded because of the large number of buttons and buttons and not quite up to date. We really missed the first test of the best equipped Sportage, but actually only a head-up display, which probably will not come in this generation, though. As usual, many new features have been added to the field of security and support. Here, the Sportage offers new systems, such as an Abstandstempomat with Stop & Go function and a fatigue warning. A so-called "surround-view" camera system is also offered, offering a 360-degree panoramic view. The essential is the review of the Sportage described as successful. The Kia SUV has been significantly upgraded and modernized. In addition to the 7-year guarantee, which is almost always guaranteed, the already consistent approval of all engines according to the strictest standard, from 1 September 2019, must be mentioned. Otherwise, the Sportage continues to play the role of a loyal companion in all areas even after the detailed facelift, as it still offers plenty of space next to still low prices and also (in most versions) four-wheel drive. And the clear commitment to diesel makes the brand and the model even very friendly.
