KIA Sportage 1.6T GDI 241 PHEV GT-Line S (Top Spec) 5dr Auto AWD.
Was £4599 – Reduced now to £2749 = £1850 Saving.
Good deal in my opinion.
Had one on order at old AP, which turned up 2 months early at end of May, but cancelled due to an incompatible accessory that was paid for 3 months in advance.
Turned out the accessory “Side steps illuminated” is ONLY compatible with ICE/ HEV model, NOT the PHEV model. Even though the KIA online configurator allows configuration – with no metion at all of compatibility/ incompatibility. Was only informed when KIA UK port went to physically fit the option. Was VERY disappointed at the “lack of competence” by “all parties concered” i.e KIA UK & Dealer. Especially as dealer insisted I paid for all accessories 3 months in advance, before even vehicle was made.
But glad I did, considering I would have overpaid by £1850.
Decided to go with the new Hyundai MY25 Tuscon “facelift” equivalent instead. Just waiting for Hyundai UK to add the “Lux pack – Smart Park Assist” option to the Hyundai factory ordering system. This option is on the UK spec sheet PDF, but not available to order right now. Spoke to KIA UK customer services earlier this week, and the “supply team” confirmed option DOES exist, and to call back in a week for an update.
KIA probably reduced the AP on this Sportage model because, it’s rumoured the MY25 “Facelift” Sportage, is due to start production in Nov 24.
