Kia Sportage R (Third generation Sportage)

2011 Kia Sportage R (Second-Generation Sportage)

Last two weeks in the International Motor Show at Geneva, Switzerland, Kia Motors has just unveiled the Kia Sportage's full model change, and yet it will be on sale this month at South Korea as the Sportage R.
(The R name is used at the second-generation Sorento and the Carnival minor change, as part of Kia's new naming structure from the Ks to the Rs that brings the Peter Schreyer design level up to the red zone)

Launched in 1993, ended in 2002, returned in 2004, and made a full model change in 2010, the Sportage always stands up from its fall to its awakening and continues to ravage against its top rival, the sexy Hyundai Tucson iX. (second generation Tucson) Now onto the description; while retaining Kia's trademark design language, the third generation Sportage was based on the Kia Kue concept, as seen in NAIAS on Detroit. This new face gives this smart crossover the sexier treatment that makes the Hyundai Tucson iX rival envious, and it is truly a lust for Korean car enthusiasts. Except for the backside, it makes it hard to distinguish if it is a Mazda CX-7, a Hyundai Tucson iX, or the real deal.

The Kia Sportage has a pleasant interior, which has a mixture of mature enjoyment, developed comfort, and grown smartness for adult drivers who are ready to take on the world. This crossover's leather seats are ventilated to cool down the drivers in their hot summer days, while the cluster ionizer air conditioning cools down the entire interior, perfect for those who are ready for the long vacation.

The R-engine, found on the Kia Sorento R and the Hyundai Tucson iX, which is a 2.0-litre diesel engine, adds a fastidious touch for the new Sportage. With the power output of 184PS, the new Sportage's performance is built to be a high-performance crossover utility vehicle that can be bragged by other drivers. Aside from the R 2.0-litre diesel engine offered, there is an optional Theta II 2.0-litre petrol engine available. The new Sportage is equipped with the new six-speed automatic transmission.

My thoughts about the Sportage R:
To negotiate the thrill of this evolved crossover, it is not surprising that the Sportage R is a great alternative to the Hyundai Tucson iX rival, as if you want to weigh against these Korean crossovers and see which one is right for you. I am flabbergasted that this new crossover might be the envy of all the Korean crossovers sold worldwide, and yes, it will be the best pick for the thrilled customers. How will the new Sportage R succeed? Find out when this car will be on sale in South Korea this month and soon in other markets, including the Philippines! The results might stun you!
