At the Frankfurt Automobile Show, organized in September 2015, the South Korean company KIA brought the Sportage crossover fourth incarnation in the "challenged" execution of GT-Line, whose features are small refinement of appearance and salon decoration and exclusively turbocharged engines in the workapontal space.

The external differences of Kia Sportage GT-Line from the "civilian" version are in the bulk radiator grid of black glossy color, four LED "guns" of fog lamps, metallized lining under the bumpers and two pipes of the exhaust system. Complete dynamic appearance Original wheels of wheels for 19 inches.

The external dimensions of the "challenged" crossover are as follows: 4480 mm in length, 1645 mm in height and 1855 mm in width. For the gap between the wheeled pairs and ground clearance It accounts for 2670 mm and 182 mm, respectively.

The interior of "Sportykha" performed by GT-Line is highlighted by a truncated at the sports steering wheel with submissive gear shift petals, chrome-plated door handles, aluminum linings on pedals, glossy "decor" of the front panel and black and gray finish.


Generally, interior decoration "Heated" version of the crossover repeats the basic model - modern design, five seats and cargo compartment volume from 491 to 1492 liters.

At KIA Sportage, two engines are installed in the GT-Line modification, each of which is equipped with a all-wheel drive transmission with a multid-wide clutch in the rear axle (as for the indicators of agility and efficiency, then they are completely identical to those on the usual versions of the parkerchief).

  • The first unit is a gasoline 1.6-liter "Four" T-GDI GAMMA family with a turbocharger and direct nutrition, developing 177 "heads" at 5500 rev / minute and 265 Nm of possible thrust from 1500 to 4500 rev / minute and operating in tandem with "Robot" about seven bands.
  • Second - CRDI turbodiel motor 2.0 liter with system COMMON RAIL.generating 185 "horses" at 4000 rpm and peak thrust of 400 nm at 1750-2750 rev / minute. Together with it, a 6-speed "automatic" is installed.

Technically KIA Sportage GT-Line differs from the standard "fellow" just more sporting settings of the suspension and steering. By the rest of the parameters of the model are identical: front-wheel drive platform, MacPherson racks in front and "multi-dimensions" rear, electric power steering and disc brakes On all wheels with electronic "helpers".

"Sportage" fourth generation In configuration GT-Line on russian market, according to the beginning of 2018, can be purchased at a price of 2,034,900 rubles (with gasoline engine) or from 2,044,900 rubles (with turbodiesel). Such a car is equipped with: six airbags, leather interior, ABS, ESP, complete electrical circuit, multimedia, navigation, bi-xenon headlights, 19-inch wheels of wheels, helping systems at the mount, control of blind zones and movement stripes, collision prevention, as well as the darkness of other modern "chips."

It turns out that not only me the appearance of the fourth generation Kia Sportage is like something Porsche Cayenne.! Only one rushed to the eye of the embossed hood, and me - "Puchis" fog lights with separate LED sources. But the similarity does not embarrass anyone - the cars are still flickering on the street, however, mostly gasoline and in inexpensive equipment. And today we ride on the top version of the GT Line with Diesel and amazing an abundance of options that were still the prerogative of an exclusively "highest automotive society".

Outside

With her, there will be a little taste. Sportage is not perceived as new, but rather as a deep restyling product of the previous one. Indeed, designers retained the common image of the car, its main proportions and lines. It remained in place and invented by Peter Schreyer "Tigrin Nose". And yet, do not consider Kramol, I liked the previous sportage slightly more, although this is my absolutely individual perception. Perhaps it only seems to me, but earlier the design of the front part better corresponded to quite aggressive and bold lines of the body. And now the muzzle has become too round and cartoon. The outlines of the "tigrin nose" became softer, the wedding of the radiator sank down, and the headlights - on the contrary, crawled up and took place at the junction of the hood and wings.

As a result, the car began to resemble some heroes of the famous Pokyomyonian Satosi Tadziri, for example, Bulbazaur or Squirtul. Actually, there is nothing wrong with that. I will even take the courage to suggest that the new Sportage will become even more popular with the beautiful half of the Russian automotive audience, and in general, in Russia there are enough manga fans about Pokemon. No wonder this number of Russians is engaged in their fishing in virtual reality even where it is not necessary to do it. And the experts design of the new Sportage like it - this is evidenced by such awards such as If Design Award and Red Dot Design Award.

In any case, the fourth Sportage is a really new model. There are impartial numbers about this: the length rose by 40 mm, the front sink increased by 20 mm, but the most important thing - the wheelbase has become more than 30 mm. Somewhat increased and the road clearance, which is now 182 mm, which is 10 mm exceeding almost the "passenger" clearance of the third generation of Sportage.

Accordingly, the "border-parking" patency of the novelty, but to the parameters of the best "passing" (naturally, within the framework of the class of crossovers), the car is still far. It is not surprising: Sportage - Clean Water Citizen, and no one hides this circumstance. And the fourth generation of the crossover improved the coefficient of aerodynamic resistance (now it is 0.33), which promises greater efficiency when driving at high speeds.

Inside

As for the cabin, Sportage as it was, and remained a very friendly car. Not even so: the salon became more representative and friendly! A neat line appeared on the soft top panel, the central console turned slightly to the driver, the possibilities of electronic helpers have increased. Actually, the internal equipment of Sportage fully complies with the ideas about equipping a solid modern car.

Leather power supply of steering and ventilated seats with servo drives, high-quality plastic, impeccable fit of panels, presence of adjustment of the lumbar backpage, dashboard Supevision steering column, adjustable in the corner and departure, excellent media system with acoustics famous brand JBL, huge panoramic roof, incinual launch Engine, trunk door servo drive, heated steering wheel (oh, and I like this option!) ... a lot of this set the model received from the predecessor. Alas, the fourth generation "Pan of Athlete" inherited from the third not only dignity.

For example, I frankly did not like the visibility. For my taste, too high the windows line, too small area of \u200b\u200bglazing ... The owner pushing to the Sportage to the Picnic Place in Nature will not be easy to assess the situation on the sides. Thick front racks, of course, play their own role in ensuring safety, but in combination with a large windshield tilt angle overlap the fair sectors of the forward / sides.

But the biggest problems cause visibility back: panoramic curved glass rear door It gives the car awareness, but its narrow ambrusura partially overlap the head restraints of the rear sofa, and how much is neither adjusting the salon mirror, only the roofs of the machines riding you are visible. Side mirrors look very pretty, but in size more correspond to the car, rather than a crossover. As a result, when maneuvers on close parking lots, and during rebuildings, it is necessary to largely rely on the rear view chamber and the signals of electronic assistants. And the camera in the Russian conditions is not a panacea, especially during the winter thaw when the roads are covered with a layer of snowing snow in a mixture with mud and antifungal reagents.

The weather revealed another feature of the Sportage design. After two days of the test, I had to send jeans in washing machineBecause it is almost unrealistic to get out of the car without getting touching the thresholds. More precisely, this is possible, but you need to constantly remember this circumstance. And if I forgotten and just dropped my feet in open door - Get a dirty strip on a pant.

Curb weight

Talking about the appearance and internal arrangement of the new Kia Sportage, you need to remind you that the car that got to the test was in the GT Line configuration. Naturally, this purely designer package does not turn the crossover into the Gran Turismo sports car, but it fully contributes to the general image a privilege sports note. So what is the GT Line package? It includes special alloy wheels with tires 245/45 R19, two exhaust pipes, decorative chrome moldings thresholds and lining on door handles, protective linings on the front and rear bumpersas well as a metal threshold of the rear door. This is what can be seen outside. But inside we find pedals with metal lining, stylish black and gray interior and grasp sport steering wheel With a truncated bottom segment. On the speed, all this, as they say, does not affect the essence, but the impression creates, and it is very favorable.

The owners of gadgets will definitely be satisfied with the sporty. At a minimum, they definitely not have problems with charging: in principle, the charge in the battery of the smartphone can support both USB slots, and 12-volt sockets have both at the disposal of the driver and the rear passengers. Naturally, the car offers both Hands-Free features, and the use of a smartphone as a storage of music tracks.

At the "gallery" KIA Sportage is generally quite cozy, although, of course, no one assumes that there will be the owner of the car, and the place behind the wheel will take the chauffery in the cap, so I would call the floor for the legs of the second row, "moderate" and " sufficient. " But the inhabitants of the rear sofa can change the angle of inclination of the back. By the way, it allows and regulate the volume of the luggage compartment, which in the denomination can accommodate 490 liters of the boot.

Volume of trunk

I also liked how organized incinual access in the trunk. Here you leave the supermarket. Naturally, in both hands - in a pair of heavy packages, but you do not need to search for a place free from the puddle, to which they can be attached to find the key chain in your pocket. It is enough just to approach the rear door and portray a mute reproach for 5 seconds. Sportage is embarrassed, wakes up and disciplined opens the door ... You add packets, press the button, the door closes, and you calmly take the place behind the wheel. And I did not need to search for the key chain. But if you still decide to use them, then you will not have to be confused, solving, on which button to click: the round button closes the central lock and puts the car to guard, and rectangular - opens.

In move

On the course, the new Sportage demonstrates all the same friendliness, because the 185-strong diesel is regularly pulling the car almost with idle speed, so the crossover obediently "goes beyond the pedal" in the entire range of speeds, not forcing the box to switch too often and without causing your laundering irritation Switches. At the same time, the engine does not display the owner by the tractor caravan, and barely hear under the hood: Soundproofing Salon Sportage generally deserved my full approval.

Middle fuel consumption per 100 km

A soft and comfortable suspension regularly swallows a gentle wave and small irregularities, while rolls in vigorous turns do not go beyond acceptable. And still, kia crossover - This is absolutely not the car on which you want one in one to attack steep loops of mountain serpentine. And if in the case of the new VW Tiguan, I always wanted to switch the automatic transmission to the "Sport" mode, since it was he who best suited the chassis capabilities, then testing the Sportage, on the transmission tunnel of which there is also an appropriate key, I turned it on, made sure that the car is really Adds in dynamics ... Yes, and switched the box back to normal mode, since it was he seemed to me the most organic.

When in May last year I tested the cousin Sportage, single-platform

New Kia Sportage. You can already see the sophistication on Frankfurt Motor Show. The long-awaited novelty is characterized by a new exterior and interior design and contains many modern technological solutions.

For the first time Kia offers its bestseller in the modification of GT Line, a more sporty and dynamic version of the crossover.

The European version of the model is produced in Zhilin (Slovakia), the Russian is produced at the Avtotor plant in Kaliningrad. Today, this is the third most popular KIA model in Russia: total volume sales kia. Sportage amounted to about 167,000 units.

Fourth Generation Design Kia Sportage

When creating a new KIA Sportage design, brand specialists sought to make an energetic, sports appearance. Due to the combination of smooth surfaces and sharp, sharp contour lines, designers managed to create the impression of a powerful and rapid appearance. The front part of the car is significantly different: the grille of the radiator and the headlights were separated from each other. The headlights are now placed above and are much stronger than the hood. The grille is lowered below and has become wider. Due to this, it was possible to achieve not only greater massiveness of the lower part of the model, but also provide better ventilation of the engine compartment.

The modification of the GT Line additionally received LED fog lights in the style of "ice cubes", which can be seen on sports Ceed GT, and lower protection of the front of the engine compartment.

In the new KIA Sportage there was an increased wheelbase (up to 2,670 mm) and the overall length (up to 4,480 mm). The front sink was eliminated by 20 mm, the rear - shorten by 10 mm.

Feeling dynamism enhance larger rear spoiler and more embossed contours wheel arches.

The rear of the new Sportage also became visually wider and more sustainable due to and clearly drawn contour lines, wide smooth surfaces, narrow, elongated lanterns and made in the form of separate blocks and below the rotation indicators and the reverse lamps.

The GT Line version is characterized by double pipes of the muffler and decorated "under metal" of the lower diffuser.

The Fourth Generation Kia Sportage has the best aerodynamic characteristics in the entire history of the model (the windshield coefficient of CX is 0.33).

The model is equipped with alloy wheels with dimensions of 16, 17 or 19 inches. 19-inch discs are included in the standard equipment of the GT Line version.

Interior

The new Kia Sportage interior was completely updated. The main elements to which the designers drew attention to the creation of the cabin - larger and facing the driver front panel, simple and modern design, texture of materials, as well as improved sound insulation.

So, in the design of the salon were used primarily soft and pleasant to the touch materials. A more prestigious look of the salon was given including due to the use of skin and decorative stitching.

The front panel has a pronounced horizontal arrangement of the elements, which visually increases the width of the cabin. Now it highlighted two zones: the displays zone and the control zone. The developers specifically tried to unload the front panel by making it the most simple and convenient, moved by many functions to the touchscreen display of the optional information and entertainment and navigation system.

Buyers of the new Sportage available two-color solutions of interior decoration: dark and light gray colors or combination of black and beige Canyon Beige. The default central console has a black finish.

The GT Line version is equipped with a steering wheel truncated from the bottom of the shape with a hub with a high-quality "piano varnish" coating and aluminum pads on pedals.

A significant achievement for developers of the new KIA was an increase in space in the cabin and improving its comfort. Due to the increased wheelbase, the salon became spacious: in the head of the head, the space for passengers is 997 mm (+5 mm compared to the predecessor) and 993 mm (+16 mm) for the front and rear rows, respectively. Foot space has grown to 1 129 mm (+19 mm) and 970 mm (+7 mm), respectively.

A number of improvements received the design of the seats of the first row: the set of options includes the possibility of triax heating and electrically regulating the seat position of both the driver and the passenger. Due to the use of a more hard frame of the seat and the updated springs and pillows, vibration is reduced. The seats themselves have become significantly easier.

The rear row passengers were able to adjust the tilt of the seat back in 17 positions, while the adjustment handle was transferred to the lower part of the seat, as well as a two-level heated.

The visibility in the car has improved: the bases of the front roof racks were understated, the racks themselves became thinner, the thickness and rear racks decreased.

The KIA Sportage trunk volume was also increased and is 503 liters (earlier - 465 liters). The luggage compartment floor panel can be installed on two levels, which allows you to freely place high items. Under the trunk floor, there is now a special compartment for storing sliding curtains.

Capacity fuel tank The new Kia Sportage is 62 liters (4 l more than the predecessor).

Several new solutions were implemented to reduce noise and vibrations: Improved engine shield isolation, new engine speakers are installed, new supports rear suspensionThe surface of the wheeled arches was isolated by more sound-absorbing materials, the thick walls of the front of the exterior mirrors are installed, the dual insulating gasket of the panoramic hatch, additional noise insulation in the doorway. Due to the enhancement of body rigidity elements, as well as the use of larger transmissions and more hard wheels The level of vibrations was reduced.

The new Sportage got a tougher body (rigidity increased by 39% compared with the predecessor): The proportion of high-strength steels in the body design is increased from 18 to 51%.

The model includes the model includes front, side airbags, side security curtains, as well as fastening of ISOFIX children's chairs.

As a standard security system at KIA Sportage fourth generation, an active control system (VSM) is installed, an additionally stabilizing car when braking and turning turns, controlling the operation of the electronic stabilization system of the car (ESC) and the electric power steering.

In various configurations, the model also includes autonomous braking system in emergency situations (AEB), Car position control system in motion strip (LDWS), traffic strip assistant (LKAS), automatic switching system far Light Headlights on Middle (NVA), Speed \u200b\u200bRestriction Function (SLIF), Blind Zone Control System (BSD) with Rebuild Assistant (LCA), Assistant when traveling from Parking reverse (RCTA).

Technological solutions

The new Sportage has a fully independent front suspension, according to the design of a similar suspension. previous modelBut more stable and managed, thanks to new settings, the use of new fastening points of supports, applying more rigid supports and steering bearing.

In the design of the rear suspension were used more hard cross levers, shock absorbers with increased aback, modified geometry, as well as setting more rigid wheel bearings and silent blocks.

The characteristic features have the suspension at the GT Line version: it is even tougher, which made it possible to achieve greater sportiness, but less comfortable from the point of view of the ride.

In the fourth generation, KIA Sportage has a new steering amplifier with an electric motor placed on the steering rail (R-MDPS) - optionally for all versions, except GT Line, for which such an amplifier is standard equipped.

On the new Sportage. Installed improved brake caliperNew Return Springs brake shoes and brake discs Increased dimension. An electronic system was also improved parking brakeWarning in automatic mode at the time of the engine shutdown.

The model, as before, can be purchased with both front and complete drive.

The new Kia Sportage is equipped with several embodiments of engines, all of which are either completely new, or were significantly upgraded.

1.6-liter gasoline engine with direct injection Fuel 1.6 GDI with a capacity of 132 hp and torque 161 nm is optimized and differs from the predecessor less fuel consumption and more low level harmful emissions.

1,6-liter gasoline turbocharged engine with direct injection of fuel 1.6 T-GDI family GAMMA is based on a power unit that is installed on sports versions Ceed GT and Proceed GT, but different greater power. Designed force aggregate Only for Kia Sportage GT Line. Engine power - 177 hp, Maximum torque - 265 nm. The improved efficiency of the engine was achieved by installing a more powerful block of ignition and the gas distribution mechanism chain with reduced friction.

A variant of the crossover with a 1.7-liter CRDI diesel engine with a capacity of 115 hp will be available.

Serious change was subjected to a 2.0-liter turbodiel power unit R series of 136 hp. (torque - 373 nm) and 184 hp (torque 400 nm). More efficient turbocharging and cleaned exhaust has been provided due to a relatively low compression, application new system Cooling and recycling exhaust gases, as well as smaller inertia of the rotor of the turbine.

The fourth generation KIA Sportage will be released to the markets with new development Companies - seven-step transmissia with 2 clutches DCT transmitting greater torque providing more low flow Fuel and more sporting sensations when driving.

Versions with a six-speed mechanical and automatic transmissions will also be available.

New Kia Sportage in Russia can be purchased in the first half of 2016. The configuration and prices will be reported later.

However, with the new KIA Sportage it turned out somehow wrong. Even outwardly, he became completely different. And when you find yourself inside and you go on it around the city - this is a completely different story.

Today, every automaker seeks to make a crossover. Yes, not one. Yes of different sizes. As a result, in this segment today, the eternal "Black Friday" - spit there, it seems, and more and new offers appear. Naturally, in this crowd, it is necessary to stand out to attract buyers and pay attention to the public. It is not possible to all. Kia - managed.

A few years ago, only the lazy did not put the Sportage on the suspension trobs, rolls in turns and a split on irregularities. Well, put your hand on the heart, so it was. And which side does not look - Budget Korean. That is, a compromise for more or less sane money. So lived until it was tired. To whom it is tired - top or bottom - a mystery is covered with darkness, however, in 2015, in Frankfurt, the fourth generation made many poking the nose from surprise. And already in 2017, when we got to the test of this crossover, it became clear - to rejoice at what, and the pleasure of getting from what - there is also.

To begin with - appearance. Is there a task - stand out? Probably. Sperance. With the move, recall the number of crossovers with the head optics, which is above the upper line of the radiator grille failed. Only Porsche Cayenne have come to mind and has long been tapping Subaru Tribeca. Plus corporate four-piece diode fog. First, you first critically look at the appearance, trying to evaluate it critically, and then exhale: "hurt". And the last thing I remember is a joke about a girl, which Mom's tight braid braid. Not about it already here. Not at all about it.

The new Sportage has become an adult and more serious. It does not impress the budget. Although, in principle, the budget now any crossover can be called only with the stretch (except Chinese, probably). The price of a basic sportage with a 2.0-liter 150-strong gasoline engine, a six-speed mechanic and front-wheel drive, starts from 1,269,900 rubles without discounts and shares. The top-end version, with a 2.0-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 185 hp, 6-speed automatic transmission, full-wheel drive with PREMIUM package costs 2,139,900 rubles. We rolled diesel version Sportage with full-wheel drive, 6-stysted automatic machine and GT-LINE package at a price of 2,094,900 rubles.

For such money, we need a lot. Many and good. We will not give 2 million for something average, without raisins, right? Right. Therefore, it is necessary, I personally would have fled to the dealer and asked to prepare a bag for money. For it turned out.

To begin with - awareness. Kia and Sportage in particular, in the stream to confuse with something almost unrealistic. What did Peter Shreyer, who did with the designer team, is reliably unknown, but the concept of "learn even at night" they implemented 100%. From the modern car, the servants are not waiting for anything in any way and in this graph, the Sportage can be put a bold plus.

Further more. Nontrivial, attractive and even somewhere sports (Sportage) appearance is confirmed on the go. Surprisingly, the fact - Koreans are methodically, with persistence of a caterpillar bulldozer, working on their cars, correcting the shoals not to this one, so next time. It often happens that, in pursuit of relevance, begin to drastically change everything - from the platform to the materials and urine-start first - new flaws that you have to work again for more than one year. Kia went on another scenario, leaving the previous platform, changed the design of the body and aerodynamics, seriously visited the crossover, without changing the basics.

But in the suspension climbed with his head. It was the most complaints about it. And for fuzziness, and for the rest, that I mentioned a little earlier. The operation turned out to be extremely successful - Lzhukhu - and the drive appeared, the desire to fall into turns, to draw on the primer and not to bite off the language, just go and ride wherever the clearance of 182 millimeters will allow. Ergonomics also grew up - in order to punch racks, you need to intentionally cut into a good pit, but it would be with such a kayfic crossover, it would be a bangful idiocy.

Of course, the main buzz turned out from a combination of a 2.0-liter diesel engine, a 6-speed automaton, a full drive and almost top-optation of GT-Line. Diesel cheerfully drag and in the city, and on the track, you have fun in any circumstances. It rulitsy, inhibits, accelerates and turns exactly the way you are waiting for it. Sinning to compare it with intentionally sports crossovers from Porsche and especially since sports carsthat are at least twice as expensive and far from the concept of "practicality", but its two million rubles Sportage works in full.

At the same time, 19-inch GT-Line wheels with rubber 245/45, dual exhaust and other parts of the GT-Line package are also coming. And if you move to the salon - there is already a very kingdom of options and comfort.

Comfortable steering wheel, 8-inch display of information and entertainment system with navigation and all the current day of technology, launch from a button, two-zone climate, front seat ventilation, panoramic roof with hatch, wireless charging of gadgets, blind zone monitoring system, road signs, automatic Parking, hold in the strip ...
