Kia Sportage 2007 Bahrain Prices & Specs

The Sportage is another of Kia's long-running nameplates, though the crossover itself has changed over time. Whereas the original Sportage was unreliable but could do basic off-roading, the new one is much more dependable but is allergic to sand dunes. It is even offered in a front-wheel-drive model alongside the four-wheel-drive, to dilute the nameplate further. Powered by either a 2.0-litre four-cylinder with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic, or a 2.7-litre V6 with a four-speed automatic, it is interesting to note that Kia and parent Hyundai are the first ones to officially offer a V6-powered small 4WD in the region. Standard features include manual air-conditioning, height-adjustable driver seat, power windows, front and rear power outlets, immobiliser, 60/40 split-folding rear seat, front and rear cup holders, 16-inch alloy wheels, radio cassette stereo with 4 speakers and a roof antenna. We could not verify what safety features are available on the Sportage, though ABS brakes and front airbags might possibly be options.
