5th-generation pre-facelift Kia Sportage set to be launched in Pakistan in February 2025, almost 4 years after its global debut, rather than the latest facelifted version launched internationally last year.
The fifth generation KIA Sportage will be Lucky Motors’ third major car model in Pakistan in 2025. Next month, this stylish, feature-rich SUV of the future is anticipated to make its local market debut.

The following are anticipated key features of the new Sportage:

Options for hybrid powertrains include increased eco-friendliness and fuel efficiency.
- Advanced Safety Features:
Autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance are examples of advanced safety features.
- Modern Interior Design:
A high-end cabin featuring luxury materials, a huge touchscreen infotainment system, and a digital instrument cluster.
- Sleek Exterior Styling:
An aerodynamic design, LED headlights, and a large front grille make for a remarkable look.
- Details of the Launch:
After formally registering under Lucky Motors Corporation, the 5th Generation KIA Sportage is expected to go on sale soon. This action demonstrates KIA’s dedication to forging a solid market position in Pakistan by launching well-known models and giving customers access to premium automobiles.

Experts have shared various insights on the performance of the 5th generation Kia Sportage:
Top Gear:
They mention that the Sportage offers a balanced performance with a range of powertrains, including a 1.6-liter mild hybrid, a full petrol hybrid, and a plug-in hybrid. However, they note that the mild hybrid powertrain isn’t the most impressive.
Edmunds:
They emphasise how comfortable the Sportage is to ride in and how the X-Pro trim level adds off-road prowess. They draw attention to the fact that the basic engine accelerates slowly and has poor fuel efficiency.
Overall, while the Sportage is praised for its comfort, advanced features, and off-road capabilities, some experts feel that its standard engine performance and fuel economy could be better.
