Kia has given the Sportage a facelift. The compact SUV is showing its new forms at the IAA in Frankfurt.
At the IAA (September 17-27), Kia is celebrating the premiere of the Sportage model, which is the best-selling in Europe. Now the manufacturer has published the first photos of the compact SUV, which show: The fourth generation is visually clearly different from the rather well-designed predecessor.
Kia Sportage with a longer wheelbase
The Sportage's face in particular is now more expressive. While the radiator grille and headlights formed one unit on the previous model, the lights, which are pulled back slightly, are now positioned higher up. The radiator grille is wider and further down, it has the so-called tiger nose shape typical of new Kia models.
The bonnet has a stronger contour, and the Sportage is now more powerfully modeled. Relatively flat A-pillars, the roof sloping slightly towards the rear and a longer wheelbase make the compact SUV appear more dynamic. Horizontal lines dominate at the stern. The narrow rear people are now connected with a chrome strip.
The Korean's design was created under the direction of the European Kia design center in Frankfurt. While the Sportage in Frankfurt is showing its face for the first time, the Hyundai Tucson is already on the market at the start of the fair. The Kia shares the technology with its sister model. A dual clutch transmission is likely to be used in the new edition, all-wheel drive is available for an extra charge. (SP-X)
