Kia Sportage 5th Generation Coming to Pakistan - Details

Kia is preparing to launch the 5th generation Sportage in Pakistan, three years after its global debut. Currently, the Pakistani market has the 4th generation Sportage, but Kia Lucky Motors is expected to bring the CKD 5th generation by next year. The global version of this model is equipped with modern features and a sleek design, though some specifications may change in the final Pakistani variant.

Overview of the 5th Gen Sportage

The 5th generation Kia Sportage is a versatile vehicle, ideal for family use. It boasts advanced features expected in modern cars, with a polished design reminiscent of the Hyundai Tucson. The futuristic X-shaped headlights add to its aesthetic appeal, making it a head-turner on the road. The interior is designed with a high-tech touch, featuring a 4K IPS twin-screen setup, one for the instrument cluster and another for entertainment, including streaming services like Netflix.

In the global market, the Sportage is considered an upper-middle-class family car. However, due to inflation in Pakistan, the current Sportage is seen as a luxury vehicle. The upcoming model is expected to be priced around Rs. 90 lacs, positioning it in the upper-elite class.
