30th Edition 2024 Kia Sportage Debut With Green Interior

July 23, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

After three decades and the sale of more than six million copies of the first-generation Kia Sportage, the small crossover is receiving a 30th Edition model to commemorate the significant achievement.

The “semi-midsize” model, as described by the firm, was first introduced domestically in South Korea, but it is now a little finer for the 2024 model year. All of the door windows have double glazing, which should make the cabin substantially quieter.

Additionally, side airbags for second-row passengers are standard across the range, making it safer than before. The Sportage 30th Edition is based on the local Gravity model; however, the roof rails, side mirror caps, and door garnish have glossy black elements added to them.

The 18- and 19-inch wheels that are offered for this special edition have a black appearance, much like the front grille and some of the bumpers do.

The striking green and black color scheme within the two-tone interior is exclusive to the Sportage 30th Edition. With a new quilting design and suede accents, the leather upholstery itself differs from the standard model.

The headrests for the front seats have a 30th emblem stitched on them by Kia to further emphasize the significance of the special edition.

In addition to debuting the Sportage 30th Edition, which is now available for purchase in its home market, Kia also produced a film (linked below) comparing the first and current models.

Additionally, the 1993 and 2021 models are now on show side by side at the Kia 360 center in Seoul alongside a digital exhibition of the transitional generations unveiled in 2004, 2010, and 2015.

It should be noted that, depending on where you reside, the latest Sportage (codenamed NQ5) is available in two sizes. While nations like the United States, Canada, and Australia get the extended variant, Europeans get the shorter wheelbase type.

It surpassed the Rio subcompact hatchback/sedan in 2016 and has since become the company’s best-selling vehicle.

2022 KIA Sportage Make its Global Debut

Kia debuted the fifth-generation Sportage with its radical redesign about a month ago, and now the compact crossover is returning to unveil its technical details. Keep in mind that we’re dealing with the global / KDM variant, which has a larger wheelbase, whereas Europe will get a vehicle with a shorter wheelbase. By looking at the size of the rear doors, you can plainly tell this is the LWB.

Gasoline, diesel, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrains available.

Dimensions

Speaking of size, the stretched 2022 Sportage is 4660 millimeters (183.5 inches) long, 1865 mm (73.4 in) wide, and 1660 mm (65.3 in) tall, with the wheelbase measuring 2755 mm (108.4 in). According to Kia, these proportions along with the improved packaging brought by the new platform give the compact crossover segment-leading headroom, legroom, and cargo capacity (637 liters).

There’s a turbocharged 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 177 horsepower and 265 Newton-meters (195 pound-feet) of torque on offer. It may be driven with either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

If you still want a diesel in 2021, Kia will offer a new 2.0-liter oil-burner with 183 horsepower and 417 Nm in the revised Sportage (308 lb-ft). You won’t be able to row your own gears if you choose the diesel, as it only works with a highly modified eight-speed automatic transmission.

Interior

Terrain Mode, which includes Drive, Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Smart selectable modes, makes its debut with the all-new crossover and adapts the vehicle’s settings to fit the kind of terrain, including mud, sand, and snow. For maximum power delivery

Kia has also introduced a new electronic control suspension with real-time damping adjustment that works in tandem with the electronically controlled AWD system. Another first for the Sportage is an X-Line trim level, which will be available on other vehicles in the range, including the larger Sorento. It’s essentially an off-road cosmetic upgrade that gives the crossover a more rugged look.
