My father ordered a Sportage 1.6 MHEV (non ‘hybrid’) Petrol Auto GT Line S on the 4th April.
He spoke to the dealer today who informed him the build date online from Kia is the 15th August, but could be sooner depending on how their schedule pans out.
Was quoted a July-Sept delivery time at point of order, so this still rings true for the petrol models.
