The fourth generation (QL) appeared in 2016. Also available on Avtotor and Asia Auto.
Body
All Sportage have a traditional body type for a segment - 5-door wagon. True, on the configuration, it resembles a 5-door hatchback on the last two generations "Kia Sportyj". Its dimensions are 4.48 m in length, 1.855 m wide, 1.635 m in height. The wheelbase is 2.67 m, the front track is 1.625 m, the rear is 1.636 m. The mass is 2.05 - 2.25 t, depending on the version of Kia Sportage. The new body, according to journalists, is similar to the design on SUV Porche. The volume of the fuel tank is 62 liters.
In addition, according to the example of premium stamps, the manufacturer began to offer the factory tuning "Kia Sportyj" in the form of a changed decoration of the bumpers of higher configurations.
Engine
The car in the local market is equipped with three four-cylinder engines. Two of them are gasoline, one - diesel.
- G4fj. Turbated 1.6 liter engine. Develops 177 liters. from. at 5500 rpm. and 265 nm at 1500 - 4500 rpm.
- G4na. The atmospheric motor of 2 l is significantly lagging behind the performance from the previous power unit of smaller litter. Its power is 150 liters. from. at 6200 rpm., torque - 192 nm at 4000 rpm.
- D4HA. The most powerful version is diesel. 2 L turbated engine develops 185 liters. from. at 4000 rpm. and 400 nm at 1750 - 2750 rpm.
This is a complete range of power units for the local version of Kia Sportyj. The configuration in other markets are with 1.6 liters of gasoline and 1.7, 2 liters diesel engines.

The highest package is equipped with the ventilation of the front seats, a panoramic roof, wireless charging and a multitude of electronic helpers (auto parkers, restraint systems in a strip, recognition of signs, monitoring blind zones, automatic braking).
Performance
The slowest versions are 2 liters of all-wheel drive Sportage. Acceleration to 100 km / h, according to the manufacturer, occupies 11.1 seconds from the manual transmission and 11.6 seconds with an automatic machine. At the same time, the second option is significantly better in elasticity: overclocking from 60 to 100 km / h takes 6.7 seconds against 11.1 seconds. The front-wheel drive versions are slightly faster: 10.5 and 11.6 seconds to accelerate up to 100 km / h, respectively.
The machine with automatic transmission also in acceleration from the course is ahead of the option with "mechanics": 6.2 seconds against 10.4 seconds. The maximum speed for all 2 liters of modifications is just over 180 km / h. Diesel Sportage is accelerated to 100 km / h from a place for 9.5 seconds and from 60 km / h in 5.2 seconds. The fastest, despite the slightly smaller performance, is a turbocharged 1.6 l car. Kia Sportyj in this modification in the same disciplines has indicators 9.1 and 4.7 with respectively. The maximum speed for both modifications is 201 km / h.
The least spending fuel diesel engine: 7.9 liters in the city, 5.3 liters on the track and 6.3 in mixed conditions. It follows this indicator 1.6 l Sportage: 9.2, 6.5, 7.5 liters, respectively. The least powerful version is the most expensive fuel. The front-wheel drive option with the manual transactions in 10.7 liters, on the highway - 6.3 liters, in a mixed mode - 7.9 liters. All-wheel drive machine with "automatic" exceeds it about 0.5 liters.
Top Gear tests mark the good energy intensity of the suspension, especially in comparison with the model of the past generation, with accurate control, as well as the well-coordinated operation of the diesel engine and automatic transmission. At the same time, journalists "Wheels" talk about relatively noisy work of diesel.
Cost
The initial is the version with 2 liters with a gasoline engine. The price of cars of this year without discounting is from 1.25 to 2 million rubles. Diesel Sportage can be purchased for 1.905 - 2.095 million rubles. The gasoline turbocharge is sold for 2.065 million rubles.
The premiere of the KIA Sportage 4 generation crossover passed on the Frankfurt Motor Show two thousand fifteenth. This bulktop is built on the platform presented earlier that came to replace the model IX35.
Outside, the new body Kia Sportyj 2019 (photo and price) retained the profile of the predecessor with a massive rear counter, but received a completely different design of the front and stern. The car got a relief hood, highly located head optics on the KX3 manner, the branded grille and massive bumper with large fog sections.

Behind the machine is highlighted by stylish narrow lamps with a chrome-plated overlay between them, another trunk lid with a large spoiler and a renewed bumper. At the same time, for the new model KIA Sportage, 2019, for the first time, was offered a version of GT Line, liner with 19-inch wheels, diode fonts, diffuser, dual pipes of the exhaust system and reconfigured suspension.
In the autumn of the eighteenth Korean manufacturer presented a restyled version of the crossover, which received a different pattern of optics, reissued bumpers, a new grille of the radiator, as well as the "dissected" in half the fog sections in front. Also, the car acquired several additional options for the color of the body and the discs available to the diameter of 16 to 19.
The interior of Kia Sportage 9 received improved finish materials, another front panel, new steering wheel and appliances, as well as a renewed central console. The filled screen of the multimedia system resembles a similar solution both on its predecessor and on a larger all-day.
Specifications
Like the Costlatform, the new Kia Sportage of 2019 was slightly larger in the size of the machine for the same generation. The overall length rose to 4,480 mm (+ 40), the wheelbase added 30 mm to 2,670, and the width (1 855) and the height (1 635) remained the same. Road clearance (clearance) declared at the level of 182 millimeters.
The volume of the trunk increased to 503 liters against 465. Earlier, the front Sve became a little more (by 20 mm), and the rear opposite decreased by 10 millimeters. Also, the manufacturer reports to the improvement of the coefficient of aerodynamic resistance, which has decreased from 0.35 to 0.33, which made it possible to make a car more economical.
Also, the car can boast an increased body stiffness increased by 39%. All these changes made it possible to reduce the level of noise and vibrations, as well as improve the PARC manageability.
As for the technical filling, Koreans abandoned the former 1.7-liter Turbodiesel CRDI U2 in favor of the new 1,6-liter unit of the U3 family with the urea system of neutralization of exhaust gases. Such a motor complies with EURO 6D-TEMP eco-standards and, depending on the degree of forsing, develops 115 or 136 hp. A more powerful option can be ordered with a preselective seven-step robot and a full drive.
And the new Kia Sportage 2019 was acquired by the version of Ecodynamics +. The latter is the so-called "soft hybrid", which provides for the presence of a compact starter-generator with a belt drive from the Crankshaft. When overclocking the electromotor issues a modest 14 hp, and when braking it works as a generator role, a miniature lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 0.46 kWh is repaired. Works system under a voltage of 48 volts.
That's just for the Russian market, all this is not relevant - we have a 2.0-liter gasoline atmospheric with a capacity of 150 hp. (192 Nm), which is available with six-speed mechanics and automatic machine, and both options can be booked both with front and complete drive. There is still a turbocharged version with a 1.6 turbo engine on 177 forces and 265 nm, which is put on a 7-band DCT robot with two couplings and AWD.
This option is typing a hundred from a place for 9.1 seconds, and its maximum speed reaches 201 km / h. True, it will be not so important that the American modification with 2,4-liter GDI (184 hp) will come to replace this version in Russia (184 hp) and a traditional six-speed automatic machine, and the 2.0-liter turbocharged CRDI diesel will remain in Building.
The last for the sporty market in the new body is available in the options for returns at 136 (373 Nm) and 185 forces (400 nm), but we are only offered a more powerful option (with automatic transmission and full-wheel drive), which provides the machine acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h for 9.5 seconds, and the average fuel consumption in the mixed cycle is 6.3 liters per hundred, in the city - 7.9, on the highway - 5.3 liters.

Being not the cheapest crossover, Kia Sportage perfectly fit into the segment of compact crossovers in the Russian market. The third generation produced in the third generation, becoming one of those cars that helped capital update the image of Kia, in the fourth generation of the year promises to rise to a new level. A wide range of new technologies and convenient features are now available on a new sport. It can be one of the most gadget oriented car in its segment. In addition, the extensive capital update of the interior and the chassis also suggests that the Sports will be more modern than the car, which will change to the shift. After the debut of the Sportage of the 4th generation on the Motor Show in Los Angeles, we decided to make a list of funny facts and interesting features about the upcoming Kia Sportage.
Models KIA Optima and Kia Sorento were specially created for the North American market, but Sportage is one of the few cars of the South Korean automaker, the model range of which began to be performed first in his homeland. 
The creation of the fourth generation Sportage occurred in the United States, in California on auto polygons of the Hyundai-Kia concern. Prototypes, among other things, were tested for stability when driving at high speeds, off-road, and on the reliability of the suspension with long-term operation on poorly served road surfaces.
In Russia, Kia Sports of the 3rd generation will be captured from the territory of the Republic of Slovakia, where one of the KIA plants is located. This modern plant produces the bulk of Sportage crossovers for the European and Russian markets. The same plant will begin the production of fourth-generation Sportridge. The plant provides a complete cycle of Sportage production, including the production of all body elements, elements of the cabin and KIA Sportage engines.
Compared to the previous generation of Sportage, the 4th generation model 2017 will be built using more advanced high-strength steel alloys. It makes his body even stronger than before. Fifty-one percent of the new car body is made of modern high strength steels. In the previous model there were 18 percent. As a result, in 2017, Sportage, the rigidity of the twist improved by as much as 39 percent. The body fortress was also strengthened due to the wide use of hot-filled steel on the body racks, side thresholds, in the design of the roof and wheeled arches.
Rotary optics, new, but recognizable appearance
Take a look again at the Sports 2017, and you will realize that there is nothing like in its class. This is a compact crossover that will have a swivel headlight. Highly located headlights and LED daytime lights rotate as a three-blade propeller! Sportage, 2017 denotes his presence everywhere, wherever he is going to turn. Yes, even now he has such a person that only a native mother can love, but this is a useful change of appearance - in the segment are full of cars, which are only shades of vanilla fragrances. At the same time, the car has a familiar silhouette, which appeared in the III Sportage III, which still supports his recognition even with a new (and embarrassing) foreground.
"Ice Cube" instead of fog headlights
Another characteristic elements of the design of new KIA are its "ice cubes" - LED elements of fog lights, which replace traditional halogen lamps with a set of four small LED blocks grouped together. In combination with an aggressive front bumper, these lights form a characteristic view. This allows the car to stand out even more than before. At night, the feeling of the presence of Sportyj is enhanced by these unusual LED clusters, as they look like luminous ice cubes.
Vertical Radiator Grille
A part of what makes the 2017 Sports Sports so amazing, in addition to highly located headlights and ice cubes with LED fonts, is a massive radiator grille. Unlike other cars KIA, a branded lattice in the form of "tiger's nose" is more in height. It gives the car a more impressive look, which can embarrass, those who prefer classic design. However, we assure you, a huge grille of the radiator still retains the image of a compact SUV in Kia. If you decide to buy the 2017 Sportage IV generation, as soon as it goes on sale, you can be sure that there will be nothing like it on the market.
Significant changes in the design of suspension and steering
For Kia Sportage of 2017, the designers completely redesigned an independent suspension and made it so to improve the smoothness, controllability and stability of the car. Multi-type rear suspension received most of the changes and now has a two-stroke shock absorber in the housing and a double bottom lever in the design. Front of the MacPherson racks were recycled to improve stability and improved testing of road coating.
If you want your sports looking, to be more sporty, know that the top SX version comes with a unique adjustment of the elasticity of shock absorbers in the suspension. All models will also receive a recycled electric power steering, where 25 percent reduced friction of structural elements for better accuracy and control sensitivity. The steering mechanism was also mounted further for better weight distribution.
Blocking the inter-axis differential and unique front bumper in all-wheel drive versions
Like his older brother of 2016 Sorento, a generation IV Sports Living in 2017 will be equipped with an inter-sieve differential lock in a 50/50 proportion for complete sets with a full drive system. The new Sportage with the AWD system predicts and feels the road in front so that optimizes cravings, especially in bad weather conditions. This means that you can pass almost everything that the mother-nature will throw on you. AWD Sportages will also be with another front bumper, which will provide him with a coolest exaltation angle when you move on some off-road.
The turbocharged engine returns to bis
Although some competitors Sports ceased to offer more powerful engines, Kia took the 2.0-liter CRDI engine with a turbocharger from the previous generation and placed it under the hood of the 2017 model. Let new environmental norms affect the easiest reduction of power up to 185 liters. With., Sportage remains one of the few representatives in the segment of compact SUVs, which are still offering a powerful engine for those who want a little more than just a family car.
Here is the full line of the engines that expect us:
- new gasoline atmospheric motor 1,6-liters 132 hp and 161 nm,
- he, but in a turbocharged version, at 177 hp. and 265 nm,
- the turbocharged diesel CRDI 1.7 liters. at 115 hp and 280 nm,
- turbated diesel CRDI 2.0 l. at 136 hp 373 nm,
- turbated diesel CRDI 2.0 l. at 185 hp 400 nm.
Three driving modes according to your mood
A few years ago, you would have to lay out a decent amount for a chic machine to get the opportunity to choose driving mode. But now most of the well-known brands have such an opportunity as an option or in the database on higher grade. Driving on the 4th generation gym promises to be solid pleasure - all configurations make it possible to select the driving mode between Normal, Eco and Sport. Normal mode implements a gold middle in an attempt to balance fuel economy and acceleration. Sport mode determines the priority of speed over everything else. Well, and Eco mode tries to extract as much energy from each drop of fuel.
Driver-oriented cabin
Considering that the 2017th Sportage promises to be a crossover, which will offer a lot of acute sensations behind the wheel, the salon was recycled with a priority for the driver. As a result, the central console was tilted toward the driver's seat, emphasizing that a person who has driving experience, who enjoys driving more often than the carriage of his family from point A to point B. Additional interior details in the SX version, such as The steering wheel with a flat "bottom" at the bottom of the ram, the steering wheel switches also hint at the car's sports chairs.
More cargo space
SUVs must be practical. In addition to the fact that they combine the properties of Hatback and wagon, have increased clearance, there must be more reasons for themselves for themselves and their family car class SUV. By 2017, the Sportage Salon will be optimized in such a way that it will become more than just for family holidays and will have more space. As a result of the best layout there will be more space for passengers of both seats and more cargo spaces with separately folding rear seats. The volume of the Kia Sportage luggage compartment will be 503 liters, which is more than the 3rd generation for 8 liters. The panel on the floor of the trunk is adjustable in two positions - it gives more freedom in the location of the overall things. And under the floor, a special compartment is now provided, where you can hide the sliding curtain.
Uvo3 debuts in Sportsj 2017
In the new iteration of all models of KIA, the debut of an infotainment system called UVO3 will be held. She will be included in the configuration for Sportsj 2017. Depending on the level of configuration, it will be installed either 5, 7 or an 8-inch touch screen into the cabin of your car. Each of the screens, in addition, has certain features. The SX top model will be offered in the database navigation with the 320-watt premium audio system HARMAN KARDON on eight speakers. For all versions, additional ports are provided under the USB connector, which are supposed to be used only for charging your mobile devices. The new feature for the latest version of UVO is the presence of built-in 8 GB of available memory for storing music and playlists.
Android AUTO is a standard set of EX and SX versions
Android users rejoice! Kia Sports 2017 is equipped with an android for a car as standard (Android AUTO), so you can link your smartphone with a car and use all its capabilities controlled using a touchscreen. As soon as you connect your Android device to the system via the USB port, the system gets access to the Internet, which means that you can request on Google traffic data on traffic, the choice of several routes, and also use, for example, Google music to listen new Melodies on the way. Later, Kia will also add Apple CarPlay so iOS users can connect their devices to their vehicles, and give Siri to take control over the information and entertainment system.
Wide set of active safety functions
Following the footsteps of your native brother 2016 Kia Optima, the new Kia Sportyj in 2017 will be the second car Kia in turn, which will offer a complete set of active security. Although in 2016, Sorento also includes a warning to leaving the traffic strip, warning about the danger of a collision, and a motion warning in the "blind" zone, in the new KIA Sportage raises safety on the step higher, adding automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection function.
The SX top packs will have these active security systems in the database. EX version will offer them as part of an additional package. The lucky owner of the Sportage 2017 equipped with these security features will not have a chance to hit another car or pedestrian while driving.
Old-kind city crossover KIA Sportage - the car seems to be wonderful, but for what only her did not scold: one did not like the finish of the interior, others did not suit the uncomfortable front chairs, someone complained about the short list of optional equipment, and someone seemed to someone What is the visibility of bad passenger, and the places above the head of the rear passenger are not so much ... Kia's fans remained to be considered only that the manufacturer will be for the mind and take into account all the comments, and will not forget about the suspension, to which there were also claims, not at all . And finally, something was happening that the fans of the Korean car industry were so waited: they were heard in Kia Motors and presented the updated Sportage, 4th in a generation account - more cute and thoughtful in general. About the fact that it is good and bad, read further!
Design
The Sportage 2016 model year is undoubtedly possible to be called a beautiful car, although, despite the modernization, his design is still a bit controversial. So, for example, ambiguously looks directly on the headlights, resembling the head optics Porsche Macan and Cayenne of the latest generation, as well as Subaru Tribeca, which is not officially sold in our country now. The radiator grille revised by the automaker again hints at similarity with Porsche, or rather - with Macan, especially if you remove the Shotkik Kia located above it.
The side line of the body has practically not changed: the designers have just worked with the front persistent for the sake of improving visibility. On the "stern" of innovations more: the rear lights have become much more interesting and more modern, there has been a deep steaming with a number of cars in it, and, in addition, now, to open the luggage compartment, it is not necessary to spend your foot under the rear bumper, as in The case with competitors models is just enough to stand for a few seconds with a key near the trunk cover, and it will open itself (the function is only included in the maximum configuration), opening access for 491 liters. Boil at least. Cargo compartment, by the way, 2-level - lower level 98 mm height accommodates 12 liters. cargo, which is very convenient for the carriage of various useful trifles.
Design
As the basis of the Sportage 4th generation, an improved design from the previous crossover is performed. As a result of the update, the distance between the wheels of the wheels rose from 2.64 to 2.67 m. And wider the front and rear tracks. As before, MacPherson racks are in front, and a multi-dimensional suspension - rear, however, the springs and shock absorbers received new settings for a more comfortable ride. Along with this, a change in the suspension geometry and an increase in the rigidity of the rear silent blocks and the steering mechanism has positively affected: from now on, instead of 2.8 revolutions, the steering wheel makes 2.7. The strength of the wheel bearings increased, and the full drive system remained the same: the connection of the rear axle occurs due to the electro-hydraulic multi-disc coupling of the Dynamax from Magna, which provides forced blocking at speeds of up to 40 km / h.
Adaptation to Russian conditions
For Russia, the fourth Sportage is primarily good because he has improved noise insulation and the body is much stronger than the predecessor. The share of high-strength steels in the body increased from 18 to 51%, more elements made using hot stamping technology, and the total length of adhesive compounds increased from 14.7 to 103 m. As a result, the rigidity of the body for twist rose by 39%, and in this regard The novelty is superior to the old Volkswagen Tiguan. The aerodynamic resistance coefficient decreased from 0.35 to 0.33.

Comfort
Considering that after changing generations, the crossover added 4 cm long and 3 cm in height, in the back of its salon it became more spacious, and the front row is not in cramped, and not in disadvantage. At the disposal of passengers of the second row - a sofa with an adjustable backrest, but without longitudinal adjustment. But with a 2-mode heating than not every car of this class boasts. In the new sportage, all seats are heated without exception, and heated steering wheel, but, unfortunately, neither in any of the packages are not popular among Korean manufacturers of electrical heating windshield threads - there is only blowing in case of fogging. Selection of materials used to finish the interior, does not cause questions, except, perhaps, one - why are there so many lacquered parts, if they have to constantly wipe? For the rest of the salon really deserves the top five: for example, behind the front panel, made of solid and soft plastic types, which are harmoniously combined with each other thanks to a competently selected texture. For top versions, the edge of plastic torpedo is available, which makes the interior more "expensive."

On the gambling of the model indicates a beveled multicolor, high sharp face torpedo and a central console, turned to the driver by 10 degrees. The consoles are observed by the cascade and framed by "lacquer" buttons, as well as the screen of the multimedia complex, on both sides of which vertical air duct deflectors with silver edge - like the last Porsche Cayenne. To the service of the driver and passengers: 2 Outlets for 12 volts, AUX and USB connectors for connecting gadgets, quite readable dashboard, uncooled glove box, cup holders and a smartphone wireless charger, similar to Charging Lexus. On the "tidy" for complete happiness lacks hours - time is displayed on the display of multimediasystems. The screen combination of devices in the "base" is 3.5-inch, and in the top - with a diagonal of 4.2 inches.
For the car of the average price category, the updated Sportage is equipped very well. First, he has a retention system in the LKAS band - the premium sedan Acura MDX and Mercedes-Benz C-class is equipped with the same system. Secondly, the crossover is equipped with a parallel and perpendicular car parker, help systems when traveling with a parking lot and recognizes road signs, a system for lifting and descent from the mountain, a rear review camera and a cruise control - not adaptive, of course, but nevertheless . Airbags are not less than six, and already in the basic execution.
In the initial configuration, Sportage 2016 offers an information and entertainment complex HMI with a 5-, 7- or 8-inch screen. 320-watt JBL audio center with touchscreen, 7 speakers, subwoofer, Bluetooth and navigation Tom-Tom- Top version privilege. The sound quality is excellent, but the image might be better, and the response time of the navigation system is quick. To change the scale, a separate washer is highlighted, which is much more convenient in the way than led by fingers along the display.
