Kia Sportage 2022 discussion, delivery times, questions etc.

Hi

Signed all the paperwork today on my Sportage 1.6T GDi HEV GT-Line 5dr Auto FWD. Went for the standard Infra Red, quite like it and couldn’t warrant the extra £14/month for a different colour.

Have been told 10-12 weeks for delivery. Who else is waiting?

Hoping I can get around 40mpg, only getting around 28 on my current car so will be a bit of a saving.

Good to hear, I really wanted the GT-Line S for a couple of features, heated seats, powered tailgate and better dashboard to name a few but couldn’t justify the extra £60/month.

Got mine on 12+35 6k miles @ £208. Might do slightly more than 6k a year but about to send my current car back 8000 miles LESS than I’ve paid for so would rather underestimate and pay the extra at the end.

[SheffieldLX]

No, my local dealer only had a 4 & GT-Line S in stock

Been looking at pictures on Autotrader, doesn’t seem to be many in the country yet.

[SheffieldLX]

Doesn’t sound good, I was still told 12 weeks today (but did order last week) will be stuffed if it is delayed.

[SheffieldLX]

When did you order yours?

[SheffieldLX]

Thanks, doesn’t sound good for me either then

[SheffieldLX]

That is the GT line dash board, only the centre 4.3” is a screen, the speed and tachometer are just 7 segment displays where on the ‘3’ upwards the whole 12.3” is a screen.

[SheffieldLX]

Interesting, by that do you think some orders will get filled within the 12 week timeframe?

I've been given an estimated arrival date of 27th of May (ordered on 2nd March).
Only need the car in November so in no rush.

can I have yours then 🤣

What have you ordered?

[SheffieldLX]

How many miles is that quote for.

I really wasn’t bothered about having a red car but I actually really like it in the flesh. Would have had the blue if I had the choice but on a very tight budget so stuck with the red rather than another £16/month.

[SheffieldLX]

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

[SheffieldLX]

I’ve had no updates other than the original estimate of late May early June for my GT-Line. No holding much hope though looking at current estimates for new orders.

[SheffieldLX]

My work colleague took delivery last week after only ordering 3 weeks previous, GT-line but standard petrol manual gearbox.

Really growing on me these although I find the spec levels quite confusing!

Yes, 5 trim levels, 6 Engines and 2WD/AWD make for 22 different variants available!!!

This is the best comparison I can find.

Hi

I ordered a GT Line S Self Charging Sportage for my wife on 17th March. Any ideas how long I might be waiting?

Not sure if the ‘S’ is any different but quotes for the standard GT Line we’re about 25 weeks at that point so start of September.

[SheffieldLX]

New orders now quoting 31 weeks!!! Still no update on mine, due in 6 weeks

[SheffieldLX]

Not what I wanted to hear.

GT-Line Hybrid?

My 226PS 2WD GT Line S due at the beginning of May is now expected mid-June

That is slightly more promising, when did you order?

[SheffieldLX]

Still no update on my hybrid GT-line but no rush now as Volvo have let me extend my current lease for another 12 months on same terms.

[SheffieldLX]

Chased mine today as I hadn’t been told anything.

Ordered 14th March, delivery due end of May, now told 14th November, not very good and wonder when they actually would have told me if hadn’t chased it as it was due in 5 weeks!
