There were four engines: two petrol and two diesel, transmissions - two: 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic. Subsequently (1999–2003) based on first Kia Sportage produced a full-fledged SUV - the civilian version of the military jeep - Kia Retona. In 1998, the production of Sportage finally migrated to their homeland - to South Korea.
Second generation Kia Sportage(photo) was first presented in 2004 at the Paris Motor Show.
