Sportage Petrol Edition

Shortly after the successful launch of the new Sportage First Edition diesel, Kia have been inundated with requests for petrol variants of the same model. Although in short supply, Kia UK have managed to secure 300 petrol engined versions of its newest crossover.

The Sportage First Edition petrol is all-wheel drive, just like its diesel counterpart, and powered by Kia’s Theta-II 2.0 petrol engine.  Mated to a 5-speed manual transmission the new petrol Sportage produces 161bhp @ 5,200rpm and 194Nm torque at 4,600rpm.  Top speed is an impressive 113mph with a sprint time of 10.3 seconds from rest to 60mph. Equally impressive is fuel consumption with a combined cycle of 35.8 mpg.  CO₂ emissions are 188g/km with insurance groups to be confirmed shortly.

Specification is indentical to that of the diesel, which includes: Black leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, 18” alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, Bluetooth, cruise control, rain-sensing wipers and a colour rear parking camera system integrated into the rear view mirror. Four exterior colours are available on this version: Clyde Blue, Phantom Black metallic, Silver Storm metallic and the striking Techno Orange metallic.

The new Sportage First Edition 2.0 AWD is priced at £19,495 ‘On-The-Road’ and, as with every new Kia, comes with a fully-transferable seven year warranty. Customer ordering is open now and deliveries will begin in October.  The full new Sportage line-up, including 2WD and lower capacity engine versions, will be available later in the year.
