Kia Motors unveiled the new Kia Sportage facelift, Europe’s most popular and global model.
The new model comes with a modern design both inside and outside. The news for 2018 are safety technologies and revised engines in line with future emission standards.
The model is launched with the new advanced generation of the Sportage, EcoDynamic + 48V diesel engine as part of the global engine electrification strategy. Kia has also introduced the new 1.6-litre diesel engine on the 2018 Sportage facelift that replaces the existing 1.7 litre CRDi diesel motor. The new U3 CRDi engine is said to be the cleanest diesel engine made by the automaker and will be offered in two states of tune 113 hp and 134 hp. The crossover will be available with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, along with all-wheel drive. All powertrains are now fully compliant with the Euro 6d TEMP emissions standard.

Kia Motors’ strategy is to launch 16 6 advanced propulsion vehicles, including five new hybrids, five plug-in hybrids, five electric vehicle vehicles and, in 2020, a new powerplant with combustion cells.
