The name Sportage may be a bit unfamiliar to you, but when you see its real name "SPORTAGE" you may suddenly realize that you can understand it as the brand new Sportage . Currently, Sportage is the fifth generation model of Sportage. As one of the earlier batch of joint venture urban SUVs made in China, the sales of previous generations of Shibo Tuanjie models are still good, but they have declined sharply in recent years.
Therefore, Kia sportage is very important to Kia Motors. A lot of effort has been put into every upgrade. So, after the refresh, can Shibo Extension conquer domestic consumers? Today, let’s talk about it together.
Like all its predecessors, the fifth-generation Shiba Tuojie is generous enough in terms of configuration, which is far better than other SUV models of the same level. However, it is still somewhat insufficient compared with domestic models.
Let’s take the most entry-level Shibo Tuojie 1.5T two-wheel drive luxury model as an example. In addition to being more affordable than CR-V and other models, this car has more comprehensive configurations. For example, entry-level models come standard with comfortable configurations such as leather steering wheels, leather seats, front and rear radars, reversing images, and keyless entry.
Not only that, in terms of safety configuration, all Lions models are equipped with 6 airbags as standard, and 10 intelligent driving assistance functions such as active braking, lane keeping, rear cross-collision assistance, driver fatigue reminder, and intelligent speed limit are also standard on the entire series.
In terms of power, the new car offers a total of three power combinations of , including 1.5T CVVD, 2.0T turbocharged engine and 2.0L hybrid system.
Among them, the 1.5T engine incorporates the fourth generation CVVD technology, which can achieve the effect of the variable compression ratio engine. Its maximum power is 147kW, the peak torque is 253N·m, and it is matched with the 8-speed automatic transmission . Let’s not say for the time being whether the AT transmission or the CVT transmission is better or worse. The driving experience brought by the AT transmission alone must be obvious to everyone.
The second is the power combination of 2.0T+8AT, and have a maximum power of 236 horsepower and a peak torque of 353 N·m. The official acceleration from zero to 100 seconds is 7.8 seconds. As far as data is concerned, the 2.0T engine of Shibo Tuojie is already far better than its main Japanese and German competitors at the same level.
As for the 2.0L hybrid version, it is composed of .0L engine, 6AT gearbox, HSG starter-generator integrated machine, high-power permanent magnet motor , HPCU controller and lithium battery. The system has a comprehensive power of 200 horsepower and a comprehensive system torque of 350 Nm. The advantage of is that it is smooth, while is fuel-efficient and has very strong power performance. It also has a good reputation in overseas markets.
Thanks to Kia 's new third-generation i-GMP platform, the driving space of Shibo Extension has also been further optimized. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new Lion are 4670/1865/1678 (1680) mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2755mm. The rear seats support the adjustment of the backrest angle to meet the sitting posture needs of different passengers. The trunk volume is 545 liters, and the rear seats can be folded down proportionally, so you can put down more items when traveling by car.
Editor's comment:
It can be seen that in order to restore sales, Shibo Tuanjie has shown full sincerity this time, whether it is interior, size, space, power, etc., it has a good performance . However, the car's exterior design may be a key factor affecting sales. What do you think about this?
