Kia has launched a new special edition Sportage JBL Black Edition that comes with a unique feature – a free portable Bluetooth JBL speaker.
This is in addition to a standard eight-speaker JBL premium audio system that includes external amplifier, subwoofer and front centre speaker.
The free JBL Flip 5 device effectively gives the new model a nine-speaker setup, and allows owners to enjoy premium audio away from their vehicle.
Priced from £28,545, the new JBL Black Edition lives up to its name with a full ‘black pack’ makeover.
There’s a new black front grille, front and rear skid plates, headlights and fog lamps, gloss black roof rails – even the side sill finishers are now finished in black.
Kia has darkened the front and rear badges and switched silver Sportage lettering on the tailgate for gloss black (and located it centrally across the bootlid). Black alloy wheels and doorhandles complete the Black Edition appearance.
Available with a 174hp 1.6-litre turbo petrol or 136hp turbodiesel – both with either manual or automatic gearboxes – the Sportage JBL Black Edition is based on Sportage ‘3’ grade.
This includes panoramic roof, LED headlights and tail lamps, keyless entry, heated front and rear seats plus an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Kia says ordering is open now – and adds that owners will get their free JBL Flip 5 speaker after setting up a MyKia account.
