The Kia Sportage crossover, traditionally in demand in Russia, has reappeared on the market thanks to alternative imports. Several hundred cars are currently available for sale, with prices starting at 2,320,000 rubles on one classifieds site.
For this amount, a company from Vladivostok is ready to order a new Sportage with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 200 hp, an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. According to the ad, the package includes a light beige fabric interior, leather multi-wheel, digital instrument panel combined with a multimedia system, climate control, electric front seats, keyless entry and an engine start button.

A more powerful version with a 2.0-liter engine with 236 hp and the same automatic transmission will cost 2,480,000 rubles in Vladivostok. For 2,760,000 rubles in Irkutsk, you can order an all-wheel drive version with a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter engine (150 hp) and a six-speed automatic transmission.

Another modification – Sportage with a turbocharged 1.6 (180 hp), all-wheel drive and a “robot” – is available for at least 2,800,000 rubles in Vladivostok. For comparison, a similar front-wheel drive crossover in Ufa is offered for no less than 3,299,000 rubles.
