Ordered my Sportage Shadow HEV on 7th sep and was ready for collection 21st Nov so about 10/11 weeks from order

 

I had the below for my Ceed from the dealer on 2nd Dec… Ceeds and Sportages are both made in Zilina as Mr.macspot said above. Given “shipping” could be leaving the factory or could be on an actual RoRo DFDS ship take it with a pinch of salt…

Build 19 Dec,
Shipping 22 Dec,
Arrival UK 06 Jan,
Workshop In 09 Jan,
Workshop Out 13 Jan, (14wk point)
Load allocated 15 Jan,
Delivery to dealer 17 Jan.

So I would look for mid to late Jan given Customs closedown and various seasonal delays.

 

Cars from the Zilina, Slovakia plant are transported, usually by train, to Cuxhaven. There they are loaded onto a DFDS roll on roll of ship, usually two ships doing one daily run. The ships are mixed cargo, trailers, lorries and vehicles. From there they go to Immingham, where they are offloaded and transported the short distance to Kia's import facility at BCA Kia, Stallingborough. They are then given a pre-delivery inspection and wait to be allocated to a car transporter that is delivering to your area.
The shipping process can take anything from 2 to 4 weeks on average, however I've seen members wait longer, so don't quote me if it doesn't arrive in four weeks.

Edit: You need to take into account the Christmas/New Year break is coming up and this slows things down. Also some manufacturers are holding back deliveries until the new year in attempt to meet the governments net zero targets, although I don't know if Kia are doing this.

 

Hi & welcome.
There are several thread on Sportage delivery, that give this info.

But as a quick guide. Will not be till January given the current rash of public holidays

 

I ordered my next sportage 06 Aug, was originally told 16-20 weeks, chased up a month ago was told anticipated delivery date of mid feb 😢

 

Best person to ask is the dealership sales person you did the deal with..

Hopefully only a few weeks..as it's the shutdown season
