Kia sportage weight of the car. KIA Sportage: specifications

The first thing automotive experts pay attention to is the gradual, from generation to generation, loss of the KIA Sportage from the usual qualities of an SUV and turning it into an ordinary urban family station wagon, not intended for off-road travel. Apparently the basis for such conclusions was the decision of the developers to reduce kia clearance sportage 2012 up to 170 millimeters instead of 195 millimeters for the previous generation model.

If we take into account the increased overhangs - +10 mm front and +70 mm rear - we can safely say about the exclusively "asphalt" purpose of the novelty from the KIA-Hyundai concern, which is destined to become at the forefront of expansion into the world's car markets. The newcomer has become a little lower (-60 millimeters), but the width (1855 mm) and especially the length (4440 mm) differ more significantly. Compared with the previous model, the new KIA Sportage 2012 has become 15 millimeters wider and 90 millimeters longer. The new height of the car is 1635 millimeters.

But the most striking changes can be seen when examining the exterior of the Kia Sportage 2012. Probably, everyone will notice the differences from the Sportage of previous generations. And the changes are really impressive. Instead of the discreet appearance of first and even second generation cars with a rather far-fetched “sporty” claim, the 2012 KIA Sportage opened up in all its glory, looking swift and elegant. In terms of freshness and boldness of appearance, the new crossover, made in a new corporate style, is somewhat reminiscent of the KIA Sorento.

We should pay tribute to the German designer Peter Schreyer, who spent three years developing a new exterior for the Kia Sportage 2012 in one of the European design studios. It is possible that a previous job as an in-house designer at Audi allowed Peter to approach the design of a new car more responsibly and creatively, applying the latest trends in automotive fashion.

And he managed to bring the KIA Sportage 2012 up to the unified corporate standards of the KIA-Hyundai concern, bringing the exterior of the novelty closer to that of an SUV Kia Sorento 2. It is noticeable that the novelty looks even more attractive and harmonious than its current counterpart Hyundai ix35. The massive radiator grille with a large branded badge and slanting "narrow-eyed" headlights, which the designer gave bizarre shapes and equipped with the already familiar LED frame, a massive bumper with integrated foglights, are impressive.

Organic and pronounced embossing on the hood and doors, a coupe-shaped profile with a sloping roof, complete with aerodynamic rails, give the Kia Sportage 2012 a visual sensation. expensive car, which should and cost accordingly. To effectively protect the body of the new crossover, the developers have equipped its convex arches and the lower sidewalls of the body with plastic edging, which gives the car additional dynamism.

Other innovations include heated gull-wing folding rear-view mirrors and LED turn signals. The rear spoiler, in addition to protecting the rear window from dirt, is designed to emphasize sport style KIA Sportage 2012 and improve its aerodynamic performance. To improve traffic safety, the developers equipped new car additional stop signal.

On the back side of the Kia Sportage 2012, the taillight block, which smoothly flows from the fifth door to the rear side fenders, is noticeably distinguished by its extraordinary design. By applying a rather complex shape of lenses and reflectors, the designers have achieved the effect of using LED lamps. The originality of the novelty is also emphasized by the block of rear turn signal lamps built into rear bumper separate from the main headlight unit.

In a word, the novelty looks quite worthy, in full accordance with the corporate style of the KIA-Hyundai concern. A taut, lean look, individuality and the shape of the radiator grille, which has already been promoted today, ensures one hundred percent recognition of the KIA Sportage 2012 and will not allow it to get lost in the stream of cars.

The interior of the new crossover has changed no less dramatically. And although some experts are already claiming suspicious similarities with the Hyundai ix35, pointing out only some stylistic and geometric differences (for example, the angular lines of the control panel and on-board computer, wells of the tachometer and speedometer of the Kia Sportage 2012 instead of the rounded shapes of the ix35), the interior of the novelty with an abundance of organic and complex forms is more interesting than many of its competitors.

Some “little things” will not seem superfluous, such as rubber pads in the cup holders and in the compartment for small items located on the center console, as well as aluminum trim on the door sills of the novelty in the Prestige, Luxe and Premium trim levels. By increasing the thickness of the floor and slightly changing the design of the front struts and rear suspension, the designers managed to significantly reduce the level of vibrations and external noise in the cabin.

Nevertheless, it should be noted that there is quite a lot of hard plastic in the cabin, although it is perfectly textured and soft in places of direct contact with passengers. The front seats are well contoured and pleasantly comfortable. But the rear seats are inferior to competitors in terms of comfort. Moreover, it will be quite uncomfortable for three passengers to sit, although the back row is designed for three passengers. The disadvantage of the Kia sportage 2012 may be a somewhat small cargo space in the trunk of a car, even with the rear seats folded down.

But to the credit of the developers, they managed to Russify the multimedia navigation system, equipped with a seven-inch touchscreen display. The most pleasant innovation was the presence of an automatic valet. Now it will not be difficult for both an experienced driver and a beginner to park a car in the narrowest space with the help of electronics. The valet will confidently find a free space on the right and left side of the board. True, perpendicular parking is still not very good.

KIA Sportage 2012 in the Luxe configuration is equipped with 2-zone climate control with air ionization and glove box cooling, four ESPs and folding electric mirrors, heated rear seats and cruise control, as well as a multifunction steering wheel. Complements the equipment of the Kia sportage 2012 radio with a CD (MP3) player, USB, AUX, iPod cable, six speakers, alarm and immobilizer. The integrated VSM active management system, the hill descent and starting assistance system, the rain and light sensor will significantly simplify driving. Eight airbags, a rollover sensor, PTF, ABS and ESP will make your trips safer.

The Kia Sportage 2012 will be supplied to the Russian market with three types of two-liter power units: a 150-horsepower gasoline engine, a 136-horsepower diesel engine, and a 184-horsepower turbo-diesel engine. The petrol engine will be equipped with a choice of five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission gears. Diesel power units will only be equipped automatic transmission. In addition, the gasoline KIA Sportage 2012 can be either mono or all-wheel drive, the diesel crossover is only all-wheel drive.

Owners of the "gasoline" version will be able to accelerate to hundreds in 10.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 182 km/h. At the same time, fuel consumption in the combined cycle will be 7.9 liters per hundred kilometers. diesel engine somewhat more economical (by about 4%), but not so fast (180 km / h) and not so fast - it will “run” up to a hundred in 12.1 seconds. The turbo diesel is the most dynamic, accelerating from 0 to 100 kilometers in 9.8 seconds, reaching a top speed of 195 kilometers per hour, while consuming 7.1 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers on a combined cycle.

The lucky ones who managed to ride the new KIA note the improved performance of the seemingly traditional suspension: front independent, McPherson, rear independent, multi-link. Obviously, the designers managed to somewhat improve the suspension elements, ensuring its better performance.

Among the closest competitors of the Kia Sportage 2012 are the Subaru XV, Nissan Qashgai, Mitsubishi ASX, Suzuki Grand Vitara, Skoda Yeti, Peugeot 408 and Renault Duster.

The price parameters of the KIA Sportage 2012 depend primarily on the configuration of the car and are in the range of 860,000 - 1,400,000 rubles.
