Following our earlier report that there are no more 2020 manufacturing year Kia Sorento and Kia Sportage models, Naza Kia Malaysia have reached out to us with a clarification on the matter. The company says the halt in sales is only temporary. The current situation - no 2020 models of Kia Sorento and Sportage - is due to a supply disruption affecting these two models but the company is unable to divulge further regarding the specifics behind the supply disruption.

After the discovery that Naza Kia Malaysia has discontinued sales of the Kia Picanto, our radar also picked up that sales of the Kia Sportage and Kia Sorento will soon been discontinued in Malaysia too. At the moment, you can still purchase a brand-new Kia Sorento but only in the range topping 2.2-litre TCI Diesel engine guise. But once the remaining units of the 2.2-litre diesel are sold out, Naza Kia Malaysia will not be importing anymore new units. Some dealers still have stock of the Sorento

Sejak kebelakangan ini, pengeluar kereta daripada Korea banyak menghasilkan kereta yang nampak futuristik macam filem sci-fi (dah tengok Hyundai Staria?), dan trend ini bersambung dengan Kia Sportage 2022 generasi seterusnya (kod nama NQ5). Walaupun Sportage baru ini penuh dengan penyamaran, model yang akan datang ini tidak lagi nampak begitu bulat, sebaliknya tampil dengan garisan yang lebih moden dan tajam.

Korean carmakers are penning cars that wouldn't look too out of place in any sci-fi movies (have you seen the Hyundai Staria?) and it's a trend that this next-gen 2022 Kia Sportage (codenamed NQ5) aims to follow. The camouflage obfuscates the details, but at least we can see the bigger picture - the upcoming Sportage trades off the current-gen's bulbous looks for a silhoutte complemented by sharper features. It looks like there's pointy headlights that sharply converge at the front grille (a bit

Initially, the 7-seater CX-8 was mooted as a Japan-only model, positioned above the CX-5 as the much larger CX-9 isn’t sold there. Japan taxes cars based on the car's body size and the USA-focused CX-9 is just too big for most Japanese buyers, hence the CX-8. However Mazda distributors outside of Japan noticed the big price gap between the CX-5 and CX-9 and given that the SUV segment is
