It is definitely an exotic car! We think there is no other way to describe the Kia Sportage. The Sportage is not necessarily a super rare specimen in this country, but when it comes to tuning, the now 4th generation Sportage (type QL, since 2015) is definitely anything but in the headlines every day. And that's despite the fact that, in my opinion, it is definitely an alternative to the top dogs in the form of the VW Tiguan, Audi Q3 or BMW X1/X3. ST Suspensions shows us on their website that there is still a lot that can be achieved in terms of driving dynamics, while improving the visual appearance. They equip the Sportage with their ST suspensions ST XA coilover suspension, which allows a continuous lowering of the front axle between 30 - 50 mm and the rear axle between 35 - 55 mm within the tested adjustment range. This not only gives the Sportage a sporty, dynamic driving behavior, but also looks much more aggressive.

These are the changes to the Kia Sportage:
- Body kit (front spoiler, side skirts as running boards, rear apron insert in diffuser optics)
- Lowering (ST suspensions ST XA coilover suspension)
- possibly a performance increase - (chip tuning, tuning box, compressor or turbo conversion, NOS etc. - more information is not available)
- Sport exhaust system with 4 tailpipes (more information is not available)

While he dreams of a BMW E31 850CSI and a Hennessey 6x6 Ford F-150, he currently drives a rather unremarkable BMW 540i (G31/LCI). His collection of books, booklets and brochures on the subject of car tuning has now reached such proportions that he himself has become a walking reference work for the tuning scene.
