The Kia Sportage (Chinese: 起亚智跑; pinyin: Qǐyà Zhìpǎo) for the Chinese market is a compact crossover SUV produced by Yueda Kia under the Kia brand. The first two generations of the Kia Sportage in China are the same as the international version, while the international third generation was sold in China as the Kia Sportage R and the international fourth generation as the Kia KX5. The China-exclusive third generation Kia Sportage was developed as a separate model based on the second generation Hyundai Tucson (sold as the ix35 in China).[1]
