Kia Sportage 2022 discussion, delivery times, questions etc.
Discussion
For anyone on the fence with this deal, the prices have just gone up. I was about to push the button on it with Jet finance and the price went up 30 quid overnight with them. The good news is Rivervale were able to honour the old price as they knew it was coming and saved some quotes, which they are still able to honour. They dont know for how long though. I ended up with 3+35 at 274.55 with experience green, 5k miles (they have quotes saved at 5k, 8k, 10k and a few others I think, all with 3 months up front I believe. Not quite as cheap as it was with Jet but no admin fee with Rivervale so overall only a few quid in it. Estimating Sept delivery. Hope it helps someone!

Well done for getting that price. I got a quote from them this afternoon but it's at the post-increase price. I was on the fence about the Sportage before, more so now.
Edit - my mistake, I forgot your quote was for 5k when comparing against my 10k quote. They've still got the pre-increase prices. I've hopped down of the fence so you can call me an eejit.

I've got an offer ready to sign for a Sportage GT-Line HEV in Infra Red on a 1+35 @ £315 a month. Quoting me a 24 week delivery time (which is fine as current lease runs until November!).
It's not quite as good as the deals before, but in the current climate with lead times and price increases I'm thinking of pulling the trigger.
Off to test drive one this afternoon before I do, but the dealer doesn't have anything in that colour / trim available to see. Anyone got experience of the Infra Red (silly to get hung up on a colour but red just isn't my cup of tea!).

That was on a 10k per annum basis, excess mileage 11.64p. Nowt else out there in this price range right now.
I was fairly impressed with my test drive, cabin felt like a nice enough place to be for longer journeys. This was a fully loaded GT-Line S though, although I can’t imagine there’s a huge amount of difference.

Not a bad price for 10k miles.
Quite a few differences in the cabin between GT-line and S
Slightly different seats
No heated seats
No heated steering wheel
No ventilated seats
Only 4.2” digital dash rather than 12.3”
No LED ambient lighting
No panoramic sunroof
No electric adjustable seats
No premium audio system
No 360 camera
No blind spot view
No wireless phone charger

I ordered a new Sportage 2022 GT Line S the day they went on sale on 15.12.21, was told delivery would be immediately after launch late Feb or definitely March. At launch in mid Feb 22 delivery was confirmed as March. Having test driven a demo car at dealership in March I was then advised delivery would now be May. Last week call from dealer stated delivery moved to July and even that was not guaranteed.
Beyond a joke that a car company can launch a new vehicle with no stock and spend a fortune on TV advertising with no stock to back it up. Anyone else having similar issues?

YouTube seems to be the only place you'll see a red one. Another Irish review:Despite the name, my current car is red. You get used to it

I saw one in the wild yesterday, going in the opposite direction so couldn't get a decent look but no dealer plates so must've been "real". At least they do exist.For what it's worth, the car I ordered last week is meant to be at the dealer's 18th September. Allegedly.
Anyone get an update on their order?
I ordered HEV 4 model from Leasing Options towards end of Jan with a delivery date for end of April. Spent the last 3 days chasing for an update and now been told that my delivery date has gone from 'April' to 'No Build'. They have now confirmed car is delayed but no clue until when?
Read on another group that this is impacting all HEV models and that anyone who placed an order btw Jan - Mach is looking at July. It seems leases and Brookers are more impacted than those who went direct via a Kia Dealer
