Wow! The front looks like the old CRV... may naiba pa ba bukod sa exterior? What about the engine?

Available na ang facelifted sportage altho affected rin pala ng price increase ang sportage.

old sportage 4x4 crdi 1.130M
facelifted 4x2 crdi 1.130
facelifted 4x4 crdi 1.210

FYI

btw few remaining units na lang ang old 4x4 crdi. ang medyo meron pa ay ung 4x2 gas variant

Nung nakita ko nga yan sa parking, akala ko CRV! (hehehehe)

Pero maganda nga sya... Mas mahal din syempre!

I just visited kia near MOA earlier to look for the face lifted sportage and ang sabi sa akin ng SA dun nagprice increase na naman daw ang KIA ng 40k for their sportage starting today so sabu niya a total of 120k for two months ang increase and sa diesel variant lang yun and wala pa silang display ng sportage na facelifted. what was columbia thinking woth all the rice increase.

Hi! new bie here. Just got my facelifted bright silver Sportage 4X4 CRDi last July 1. I was not expecting to get the facelifted version nor did the SA, because when I made my downpayment, middle of June, the unit on display was still the 2005-2007 model. Maybe I was just lucky!:icecream:

Anyway, the changes I have noted are the following: (some good some bad)
Exterior:
1. new front bumper design, headlamps and foglamps
2. new design tail lights

Interior:
1. driver side airbag

2. all fabric seats
3. no temperature gauge anymore
4. glove box no lock
5. front passenger seat not fold flat
6. 2 DIN Clarion audio (AM-FM, Cassette, CD, MP3) with aux cable inside glove box
7. rear cupholders at foldable rear arm rest instead of from the floor
8. seatback hooks for grocery bags relocated near the base of the headrests
9. one deep compartment center arm rest, too low to be resting your elbow on while driving

I didn't notice anything different from the engine compartment. Not VGT yet. According to the KIA Canada website, the rear seats were lowered a little 5 mm to add headroom. I didn't notice the change however.
