more photos of the SX Sportage turbo from the Toronto Auto Show

It looks like the only change is the Turbo engine and Wheels. Everything including the interior looks the same as an EX with premium color package. Did you notice Conwelpic, if it sported LED Tails??

 

[njerald]

You better look again..........dual exhaust, expanded mesh type grille, different seat pattern trim, different style rear turn signals and yes, LED tails......

I hope you are right but how do you know the tails are LED? Looks very similar to standard tail (pseudo led look with separate square lens).

Very quietly last night the Sportage SX was added to the Kia website. You can Build and price now as well. It starts around 25K, I priced one with navi and leather for 30K. Seems down right reasonable.

I came to this site because I starting looking at Kia's (Sportage and Sorento) to replace my truck. Need more of a family car with better value and warranty. Already have a Hyundai Elantra for the wife and love it.

Something that is curious though is the small disclaimer on the Kia website in regards to the SX. It reads "very limited availability." So is this thing just a one year special? Kinda strange if so. I would think this would be a big sales number vehicle with that kind of power, looks and MPG.

Agree with all except LED tails. Couldn't find anything on website that states tail lights are LED. Also, looks like window tinting for front door windows matches rear door windows. All of this is from the US Kia site...

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like about $32k fully loaded.

Oh no, now I want a turbo. Anyone want to buy a red LX AWD 2.4 liter with 2,000 miles on it?

As usual , Njerald is so sure about his Kia knowledge, but wrong again. Were you born sarcastic or is this a learned trait? You're this way in just about every thread.

According to Kia.com, they are the same Standard taillights as the Sorento LX or EX, no mention of LED taillights at all.

Just much more observant than you..........know what forum you're on?

Dissapointed

I built an SX on Kia.com. I'm really dissapointed that there is no mention of LED taillights. And, i thought for sure HID's would be offered. But, I'm thinking some things may be missing to help keep the price down.

Well, hope this taillights is not the show stopper from you getting this car. Is it?

Njerald,

My iPhone autocorrects when you type fast, and somehow Sportage became Sorento. Not all of us have time to sit in Mommy's basement and be a little smarta$$ all day like you.

For the others..............., here in Dallas at a major dealership they received their first 2011 Sportage SX (black). Although not with the Navigation package. My local dealer in Mckinney tried telling me that it'll be next March before seeing any SX's. The dealers truly know less than us. The salesman in Dallas sent me photos he took at night but aren't very good but you can still make out the T/GDI plate and dual exhaust.

Tell that to Sorento71 who thinks he knows everything about Kias....

 

[bleibh01]

This is the canadian edition of the sx. But, no where in the features & options section does it even mention LED taillights. the sorrento sx DOES have LED taillights I would think they`d follow through with them. i hope.

 

[njerald]

People writing the brochures and website people are clueless, not just at Kia.

 

[bleibh01]

not sure i follow. is there LED taillights for the sx in the u.s.???
