just had this from our dealers
Thank you for your continued patience over the last few months. We have a revised supply bulletin arrive today in regards to Sportage HEV back orders from Q2. Demand for this model outstripped KIAs initial build forecast hence its removal from the Motability scheme in May along with all retail/business orders being suspended in June. All back orders will be fulfilled but we need to advise you of deliveries of this model to the UK. All back orders will now arrive between October – January 23. We expect another supply bulletin in 2 weeks so will advise any new information gained from the latest release.
