Shipping is not the problem, both DFDS ferries are running to schedule and have been for 3 months, they even put on 3 extra sailings which were exclusively car only, not trailer freight. I’m more inclined to think that KIA have just had so many orders for the Sportage, they don’t have any more capacity to build extra numbers. From the numbers I’ve seen on the KIA owners forum it’s taking 12-17 weeks to get the queue for production email to 18-22 pick up. And 90% of orders are GT Line S HEV models.
