The National Motor Company launched the new Kia Sportage on May 25 in Jeddah. The 2023 Kia Sportage, codenamed NQ5e, benefits from a comprehensive redesign that is modern and futuristic. The fifth-generation model challenges design norms and moves the Sportage identity to the next level, while letting the customer feel an exciting new era of drive experience, infused with the latest cutting-edge technology and a range of features for drivers’ convenience.
Hassan Shamrani, CEO of NMC, said: “This is a historic day for NMC and for our innovative and exciting partnership with one of the world’s leading car brands. We will continue to reach new heights and make further breakthroughs as we offer a range of exciting opportunities and innovations for car-buyers and drivers in Saudi Arabia. I urge you to visit our state-of-the-art showrooms in seven administrative regions of Saudi Arabia to experience the wonderful all-new Kia Sportage for yourself. Together NMC and Kia have already made great strides and will continue to build on that success in the future.”
Shamrani said the launch of the new Kia Sportage further establishes NMC-Kia as the leading automotive-partnership in the Kingdom. In a very short period, NMC has successfully carved out a prominent position in the Saudi automotive market, after being appointed as the exclusive distributor for Kia cars in the Kingdom’s seven regions, namely Tabuk, Madinah, Makkah, Al-Baha, Asir, Jazan and Najran.
“This dynamic and innovative new partnership has further established Kia cars as among the most remarkably successful brands throughout the Kingdom. Through innovation and customer-driven experiences, NMC has delivered to the Saudi market unparalleled convenience and agility. In return, Kia has already witnessed increased customer loyalty in nine major cities: Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Tabuk, Yanbu, Abha, Jazan, Najran, and Taif. Driven by innovation and excellence, this rapid growth for NMC and Kia is only set to continue,” the company said in a statement.
