• 'Value for money' Sportage
• Exclusive TEC units
• Limited numbers
JOHANNESBURG, Gauteng - Kia South Africa has added two new additions to its Sportage SUV range - a duo of limited edition TEC models.
We already have spy shots of Kia's next Sportage, so it's safe to say in an attempt to eke sales from its outgoing SUV, Kia needed to be crafty.
WHAT DOES IT OFFER?
The TEC units are based on the Sportage 2.0 CRDi auto and are available in front- and all-wheel drive.
