The system also adjusts the damping force of the suspension to comfortably adapt to obstacles and reduce the impact of the tread on the wheels. The technology reacts quickly to body movements and steering controls, making ultra-fast adjustments to the shock absorber settings to counteract the pitch and roll of the body when cornering. A new generation of the ECS – Electronic Control Suspension system offers optimum comfort and superior levels of safety at all times thanks to its continuous damping control. The new Kia SUV debuts with many technological innovations. Implemented last year on the Kia Sorento and now developed for Sportage owners who want outdoor adventures and leisure activities, the advanced “Terrain Mode” module adjusts the car’s settings so that it offers optimal driving dynamics for any surface and driving environment. Gasoline or diesel fueled internal combustion engines are also available.Ī premiere for Sportage is the new “Terrain Mode” system which debuts on the fifth generation of the model. The new Sportage also has a high-tech hybrid version (HEV) and a mild-hybrid petrol propulsion system (MHEV). The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant is a first for the European Sportage model and offers the possibility of 100% electric travel. Hybrid propulsion systems improve the performance of the Sportage by helping to reduce emissions and increase fuel economy. This meticulous approach has helped to create an SUV that meets European requirements, emphasizing its practicality and everyday utility. The model combines an elegant but muscular and modern exterior design with an advanced interior and some of the latest connectivity technologies.ĭeveloped on a new architecture called “N3”, the European Sportage model benefits from a high-tech development program, created especially for Europe, which led to an optimal wheelbase and ideal dimensions and proportions for the roads of the Old Continent. The European version of the best-selling model, the Kia Sportage, has the role, according to the Korean company, of setting new benchmarks in the SUV segment in Europe.
