The KIA Sportage Hybrid, globally launched in 2021 as part of the fifth-generation lineup, has recently been seen on Pakistani roads, sparking excitement about its potential launch.
This model, spotted during road testing, is registered under Lucky Motor Corporation Limited (LMCL), KIA’s official distributor in Pakistan, according to Sindh Excise Department records.
This suggests LMCL might introduce the Sportage Hybrid to Pakistan in the coming year.
What to Expect from the KIA Sportage Hybrid
The 5th Gen KIA Sportage Hybrid combines efficiency, style, and advanced technology. Key features include:
