The engine lineup's changed for this minor change as well. The e-VGT R2.0 diesel engine is now mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox while the old e-VGT U-II 1.7L diesel engine has been thrown away and replaced by a brand new 1.6-litre 'U3' Smartstream D engine, which is the cleanest diesel engine Kia has ever made. The new diesel engine produces 136PS of power and 32.6kg-m of torque and is mated with a 7-speed DCT, which has a tendency to not work if you are not familiar with double-clutch gearboxes on normal vehicles like this, fuel economy, depending on wheel size, is a combined 16.3km/L. The Nu 2.0L MPi petrol engine remains in the lineup but sadly, the manual gearbox is gone for good, which is somewhat a bad trip for some.
As for safety, the new Sportage comes with a wide range of driving aids such as Front Collision Avoidance, Back Side Collision Warning, Lane Departure Assist, High Beam Assist, Rear Cross Warning, and Driver Attention Warning, among many others.
The Sportage the Bold starts at 21,200,000 Korean Won.
Available colors: Pure White, Snow White Pearl, Steel Grey, Sparkling Silver, Fiery Red, Mercury Blue, and Cherry Black.
