If you read the kia sportage forums most of the private buyers are being given an average of 12 weeks delivery time by most dealerships I don’t know if that’s realistic or are private buyers getting preferential status.
Pretty much shows on the Wibblers list on the KIA owners forum, that waiting times are around the 4 to 5 months, regardless of private or Motability customer. People who have ordered in November, both Motability, and private, are now getting to pick up their Sportages.
From my own experience, the dealer said to expect a wait of 16-22 weeks, I’m 11 weeks in, so I’m hoping to get my, “In production queue”, email from KIA in the 3 to 6 weeks.
