What’s New Compared to the Previous Model?

The new Sportage drops the previous entry‑level gasoline price of VND 819 million (2.0G Premium) and offers a more accessible starting point. Design cues have been refreshed – the front fascia now features a modern “Star‑map” LED signature similar to the latest Sorento and Carnival, while the cabin sees a revised layout with a new steering wheel, re‑positioned gear selector and an updated central infotainment screen.

Hybrid Powertrain & Features

The hybrid variants pair a 1.6‑litre gasoline engine with an electric motor, delivering a combined 231 hp (171 kW) and 367 Nm of torque. Power is managed by a six‑speed automatic transmission, with front‑wheel drive (FWD) as standard and an all‑wheel‑drive (AWD) option on the top Signature AWD trim.

Competitive Landscape

Within the crowded C‑segment, the Sportage now competes against:

  • Mazda CX‑5 – VND 699‑979 million
  • Ford Territory – VND 739‑875 million
  • Hyundai Tucson – VND 769‑989 million
  • BYD Sealion 6 – VND 799‑899 million
  • Geely EX5 – VND 839‑969 million

While the premium hybrid trims edge close to the VND 1.1 billion mark, they still represent a compelling value proposition for buyers seeking a technology‑rich, greener SUV.

Market Outlook

Thaco’s aggressive pricing signals a clear intent to capture a larger share of Vietnam’s midsize SUV market in the second half of 2026. By expanding the hybrid lineup, Kia aims to attract eco‑conscious consumers and set the stage for a new growth phase in the region.
