2011 KIA Sportage (GEN 3)

[the one]

First pictures of the 2011 Kia Sportage, codenamed SL, undergoing durability testing. Next generation Sportage scheduled to make official debut in February 2010.
Autospies have managed to catch the 2011 Kia Sportage while undergoing hot-weather testing on the US soil. Unlike our previous set of spy shots, these latest images reveal more details about the Sportage’s completely redesigned exterior.
While many details are still kept safe and very well hidden from our eyes, it’s clear the 2011 Kia Sportage will feature a sportier and much more exciting exterior design than the outgoing model. It also appears the new Sportage will bear a strong family resemblance to Kia’s new Sorento crossover and is going to adopt many styling elements from latest Kia concept cars.
Codenamed SL, the 2011 Sportage will be introduced with a wide range of four-cylinder engines including a host of technically updated gasoline engines as well as new 2.0L R-diesel engine with 184 horsepower. Mated to these engines will be a six-speed manual transmission or for the first time, a brand new six-speed automatic, co-developed between Hyundai and Kia.
The next-generation Kia Sportage has been scheduled to make its official home debut in February 2010. Following its Korean debut, the new Sportage is expected to arrive Stateside towards the middle of 2010, and will go on sale as a 2011 model.
The 2011 Sportage will compete in the compact crossover category and as such will go up against the 2010 Hyundai Tucson, Ford Kuga, VW Tiguan and other models in the segment.

sir renzo, hindi po yan kia sportage kundi ssangyong po. Na corrected na po yan sa kia site na hindi po yan kia, ssangyong po yon, small suv nila.

The pics first posted are the true 2011 sportage.

[woohoo]

Talaga? Kala ko kasi Sportage rin kasi it's very similar to the pics you've posted, even the rims are the same Oh well, to mods: please delete my post above since it's a ssangyong daw.



:seehearspeak:

The rims are not the same, dude. Each of the Sportage's rims has only 9 spokes, your Ssangyong has 10-spoke rims! :hammer:

Good Morning Guys.

Need help on my 2012 Sportage. Lately meron amoy sa aircon na parang nasusunog na wire. Checked up the blower pero ok naman. It would smell after ten minutes of using the aircon pero if using fan only wala.

Thanks In Advance.

Guys,

need to consult with you. KIA Gas 2015 2.0 is currently experiencing every now and then jerking or "kalog". It is being experienced kahit idle or umaandar.

Worried about it since KIA New Manila cannot find the culprit. They advised to change fuel brand from Petron to Shell.

Anyone had an idea or experienced this also?
