Strange thing that it’s down as AWD. If you try and order a Sportage (as a regular customer) https://www.kia.com/uk/utility/build-your-kia/#/trim except for the Plug-in hybrids, there’s only one other AWD and thats the FHEV GT-Line S.
Just checked @gliderd and yes it does seem weird and I can’t see them doing a specific MB vehicle. Obviously there could be a mistake on Kia’s side but wern’t they taken off over Easter because mb got the 2wd and 4wd mixed up.
Yes its the 4wd, not really needed but when my wife had the 4wd tiguan I found it more reassuring as in grip . Also it had to be a gt line s because of the powered boot and only 4wd available now in that spec .Personally I think the spec on the 3 is great .
Yes the 3 trim seems to be the sweet spot value wise especially buying retail. You would of thought the 4 trim had electric tailgate.
