Production of the new Kia Sportage has officially started at the company's plant in Žilina, Slovakia. The fifth generation of the Sportage is the latest in a long series of Sportage which, since 2006, have been manufactured in Slovakia. In that period, more than two million units have been produced, satisfying the demand for the model for European customers.Now, for the first time in the 28-year history of the Sportage, a specific version has been designed, developed and optimized for European tastes. Based on a new architecture, the Sportage combines a sleek, yet modern and powerful exterior design with an avant-garde premium interior, including an integrated curved display with the latest advances in connectivity technology.Next-generation hybrid powertrains further enhance the Sportage's capabilities by dramatically reducing emissions and fuel consumption. An advanced hybrid version (HEV) is another first for the Sportage, in addition to a mild hybrid version (MHEV) and a new plug-in hybrid option (PHEV) *. The PHEV version gives priority to driving in electric mode, suitable for most daily commutes from home to work or for everyday shopping needs. Modern and clean internal combustion engines (ICE), gasoline and diesel, are available in various versions of efficiency, transmission and power. As proof of the advanced flexibility and modularity of the Kia plant in Slovakia, the Sportage's four powertrains - PHEV, HEV, MHEV and ICE - will be assembled in Žilina.
Kia has started production of its new Sorento Hybrid, representing the first application of electrified power in Kia’s global flagship SUV.Built to Kia’s exacting production standards, the new fourth-generation Sorento is manufactured at Kia’s Hwasung production facility in Korea, with Hybrid, gasoline and diesel variants of the SUV assembled on the same production line.The first Hybrid models to roll off the production line are destined for the European market, and the car will also soon enter production for North America at Kia’s West Point, Georgia, USA production plant. The outgoing third-generation Sorento, built on the same production lines, has won several quality accolades throughout its lifecycle. The new model will benefit from the same high production standards and quality controls.The Sorento has been a mainstay of Kia’s global line-up for almost two decades – more than three million Sorento models have been sold worldwide since it was launched in 2002. European sales of the fourth-generation Sorento are due to commence in the third quarter of 2020; the car will be available to order in most of Kia’s global markets by the end of the year.Towards the end of 2020, the new Sorento will also be available in certain markets for the first time as a Plug-in Hybrid, with production due to start at Hwasung later in the year.
