Naza Kia Malaysia has streamlined its Kia Sportage line-up in the country – the company has announced the introduction of a Sportage 2.0L EX variant, which goes on sale alongside the Sportage 2.0L GT CRDi diesel AWD. The two two wheel-drive variants that introduced the fourth-gen QL in Malaysia back in 2016, the 2.0L KX and 2.0L GT Line, have been discontinued.
No change to the petrol powertrain, the Sportage 2.0L EX being equipped with a 2.0 litre Nu MPI four-cylinder, which is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Output figures remain the same, with 155 PS at 6,200 rpm and 192 Nm at 4,000 rpm available from the mill.
The 2.0L EX gets a new design five twin-spoke 18-inch machine-finished alloy wheels, and standard equipment for the five-seat SUV includes front and rear parking sensors, a rain sensor and auto folding side mirrors.
Also on, keyless entry, push start ignition and fully automatic air-conditioning, and the variant also comes with an electrochromic auto dimming rear view mirror and a new seven-inch touchscreen audio system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support.
As with the previous petrol models, the EX comes equipped with six airbags (dual front, side and curtain), ABS, ESC, vehicle stability control and hill-start assist and Isofix mount points (outer rear seats) on the safety kit front.
Five exterior colours are available for the variant and these are Cherry Black, Mercury Blue, Fiery Red, Snow White Pearl and Mineral Silver. The Kia Sportage 2.0L EX is priced at RM129,888, and comes with a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Wow!! With those price and equipment is much more improve than the old 2.0 spec.. It is much more value for money..
Better buy CRV, this chick beauty but still korean..
So what is your problem if it’s korean? No RV? Customers buy it and using for above 5 years la.
Kampungnya….Korean brand dah all over the world. Look at Samsung…. Look at overseas market for automotive. Japan brand ke yg conquered? So 2000 late minded
Proton is lucky now that NASA doesn’t do rebadge anymore. Otherwise this sport age may sell for 95k only once rebagde to Naza Sportage.
Yup NASA dun rebadge Soyuz rockets anymore. They just outsource to SpaceX or Orbital Science.
I’m assuming the HID headlights, leather seats, dual zone AC, power driver seat and the JBL sound system are retained?
If its included, its worth buying.
Cant believe I nearly bought one.. look at it. Constipated toad face
You have many other choice with RM 130K.
Why need to get a korean unless they provide the discount and price below RM 100K.
Because the Korean offer better interior quality than your crappy crv and better interior design than the boring looking xv?
Hmm..not sure if I am spoiled by the price-value ratio of Naza-Kia 2013, or just being a cheapskate.
I feel this car just isn’t worth the pricetag.
Next, naza kia, pls bring the facelifted sorento. Drop the 2.4L mpi engine and replace it with 2.0L tgdi. Also maintain the diesel variant for the high spec. Don’t forget bring back the panoramic roof.
Guys, any users here? Is the car good? Looks nice and cute. How it is compared to hrv?
I just bought 1, size n segment wise should compare to cx5/crv instead of hrv.
I EAGERLY EXCITED.,
To see Kia would produced
