Apart from a new '4X' all-wheel-drive badge, there are no other changes to the fifth-generation Sportage medium SUV, which arrived in Australia in 2021 with a higher level of safety and equipment
National drive-away pricing was available for the Sportage at launch; however, this has shifted to a state-by-state model
It shares its all-new 'N3' platform with the related Hyundai Tucson, with the option of a 1. 6-litre turbo-petrol for the first time in Australia

While the Tucson has gained Hyundai's Bluelink connected-car technology for 2023, a Kia Australia spokesperson confirmed its system – Kia Connect – won't become available until the Sportage receives its mid-life update in 2024 or 2025
LED headlights, traffic sign recognition, tyre pressure monitoring, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear-cross traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control [automatic only] are standard from the base S upwards
The latest Sportage also gains the front-centre airbag first introduced on the Sorento, which is designed to prevent the driver and front passenger from clashing heads in the event of a side-impact collision
A hybrid version of the Kia Sportage is closer to Australia, with the brand’s local product planning boss confirming it is expected in the coming months
The Kia Sportage competes in the medium SUV segment in Australia, with rivals including the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson, Mitsubishi Outlander, Nissan X-Trail, Subaru Forester and Volkswagen Tiguan

Engine, drivetrain, and fuel economy
Transmission change coming?
With the smaller Seltos recently swapping out its seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for a more conventional eight-speed torque-converter auto for the 1. 6-litre turbo variants, Wheels Media believes Kia may do the same with an upcoming update to the Sportage
Under the bonnet, the Kia Sportage is available with three engine options
The range starts with a naturally-aspirated 2. 0-litre petrol engine producing 115kW and 192Nm
It is matched with a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission and sends power to the front wheels only. This powertrain is standard on S, SX and SX+ variants
For the first time locally, a 1. 6-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a seven-speed dual-clutch – borrowed from Hyundai’s sister SUV, the Tucson – is available

Matched with all-wheel drive, it produces 132kW and 265Nm, and is optional on SX+ and standard for the GT-Line
A diesel powertrain is optional across the range, comprising a 2. 0-litre turbocharged unit with 137kW and 416Nm. It features an eight-speed torque converter automatic and all-wheel drive
Opting for a diesel AWD auto over a 2. 0L petrol FWD auto carries a $5400 premium
