Kia Temporarily Halts Sportage L HEV Bookings in Pakistan

In a recent Kia Sportage update, Kia Pakistan (Lucky Motor Corporation - LMC) has announced a temporary pause in the booking of its popular hybrid SUV, the Sportage L HEV. This decision comes amid increasing global demand for the model, leading to a Kia HEV suspension in the country.

Reason Behind the Suspension

The Kia Sportage booking halt is directly linked to the availability of CKD (Completely Knocked Down) kits, which are essential for local vehicle assembly. Due to the rising global demand, these kits are experiencing delays, impacting Kia Sportage availability in Pakistan. As a result, the automaker has placed a Kia booking pause until further clarity is achieved regarding future shipments.

Impact on Buyers

For customers eager to get their hands on the Sportage L HEV, this news may be disappointing. However, Kia Pakistan has assured that Kia car orders already placed will be honored. Deliveries will follow the schedule stated on each customer’s Provisional Booking Order (PBO), ensuring there is no disruption for current buyers. This reflects Kia's commitment despite the HEV model delay.

Meanwhile, bookings for other variants, including the Sportage 2.0L Alpha and 2.0L FWD, remain open. The company continues to process orders and deliver vehicles on time.

Engine & Performance Highlights

The Sportage L HEV is equipped with advanced engine options that appeal to performance enthusiasts and eco-conscious drivers alike:

2.0L Smart Stream MPI engine delivers 154 HP and 192 Nm torque.
1.6L T-GDI Hybrid engine generates a combined 226 HP and 350 Nm torque.

Features like Drive Mode Select (Normal, Eco, Smart, Sport) and Shift by Wire (SBW) offer a premium driving experience.

Kia prioritizes safety in the Sportage series. Key features include:

6 Airbags

Lane Keeping & Following Assist (LKA & LFA)
