Earmarked for a global launch later in the year, Kia has revealed the official images of its 5th-generation Sportage that spawns a new sharper look.
The details regarding the local specification remain unknown at this stage, however, it’s worth mentioning that the new Kia Sportage has changed completely from the current model.
“Reinventing the Sportage gave our talented design teams a tremendous opportunity to do something new; to take inspiration from the recent brand relaunch and introduction of EV6 to inspire customers through modern and innovative SUV design. With the all-new Sportage, we didn’t simply want to take one step forward but instead move on to a different level in the SUV class,” commented Karim Habib, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Design Center.
The exterior is fitted with a detailed-orientated black grille with graphics that stretch across the width of the face, there is the famous Tiger Nose grille, tweaked daytime running lights plus a more pronounced front bumper.
For the first time in the Sportage range, Kia offers the new Sportage with a black roof with a different colour paint option for the body.
Looking at the rear, the new Kia Sportage is fitted with the addition of a chrome beltline, large lower graphic bumper, a rear spoiler plus razor rear lamps that are connected by a slim horizontal design.
The interior is fitted with a sculpted integrated curved display with a slim crush touchscreen pad plus detailed 3D air vents.
The centre console is finished in high-end gloss while providing storage, operating system configuration, cupholders and soft-touch switches. The interior finishing options include chrome and pad print.
The local availability, as well as specifications, will be made available in due course.
