The SX Crossover is estimated from $45,590 in addition to on-street costs, or somewhere in the range of $49,840 and $51,225 drive-away contingent upon the state or domain of enlistment, as per the Kia Australia site.
It costs a huge $8040 more (before on-street costs) than the 2.0-liter non-super petroleum front-wheel-drive SX, and $2640 more than the 2.0-liter super diesel all-wheel drive SX, yet is $220 less expensive than a Toyota RAV4 Mixture GXL 2WD ($45,810 in addition to on-streets).

In the mean time the highest point of-the-range GT-Line Cross breed is evaluated from $55,420 in addition to on-street costs – the most costly Sportage at any point sold in Australia – or somewhere in the range of $59,961 and $61,995 drive-away (barring metallic paint), as per Kia’s site.
The lead cross breed is $5500 dearer than the same 1.6-liter super petroleum all-wheel-drive adaptation, $2500 more costly than the 2.0-liter super diesel all-wheel-drive form, and expenses $4010 more than the top-selling Toyota RAV4 Half and half Cruiser 2WD.
A full rundown of standard highlights has not been reported, but the SX and GT-Line crossovers seem to be prepared in much the same way to petroleum and diesel counterparts.
It seems 18-inch combination wheels for the GT-Line Cross breed – instead of its typical 19-inch wheels – is one of the main distinctions contrasted with petroleum or diesel models, however this is yet to be affirmed.

Controlling the half breed variations is a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-chamber petroleum motor coordinated with an electric engine, little lithium-particle battery and six-speed programmed transmission for 169kW consolidated.
In South Korea, fuel utilization for a front-wheel-drive model is guaranteed as 6.0L/100km – contrasted with 7.7L/100km for a comparable all-wheel-drive diesel, or 8.6L/100km for a super all-wheel-drive petroleum, as per Korean testing norms.

The Sportage Mixture is confined to two model grades for the present, because of restricted creation out of the processing plant in South Korea – so stock for Australian display areas is supposed to be compelled.
Kia’s most memorable mixture moderate size SUV has been on the Australian division’s radar since the current-age Sportage was disclosed a long time back, however the cross breed has been delayed to come to nearby display areas because of the absence of a reasonable variant.
A right-hand-drive Kia Sportage Half and half has for some time been accessible in the UK, but it is the short-body rendition worked in Slovakia and sold in Europe – as opposed to the long-body model underlying South Korea and sold in Australia.
A half and half rendition of the long-body Kia Sportage has been made in South Korea close by Australia-bound petroleum and diesel models, however – as of recently – it had not been implicit right-hand drive.
More subtleties on the 2024 Kia Sportage Half and half are normal before long.
