Kia reveals teaser pictures of fifth-gen Sportage
Key highlights are its advanced exterior and interior design, connectivity tech, and responsive yet highly efficient powertrains.
Kia has issued teaser images of the new Sportage SUV due to be revealed in July in Korea. Key highlights of the fifth-generation Sportage are its advanced exterior and interior design, connectivity tech, and responsive yet highly efficient powertrains.
Kia’s new design language – Opposites United – is at the core of the new Sportage. The SUV has a muscular stance and strong yet refined silhouette. Notable new details include the crisp, taught character lines that ripple across the surfaces. The front has a detailed-orientated black grille graphic spanning the width of the face. At the rear, muscular shoulder lines drop to meet slim daytime-running lamps, which flank the new Kia logo and Sportage emblem.
The interior design sketch reveals a driver-orientated space that plays with boldness in character, softness in qualities and innovation in technology. At the core is a beautifully sculpted integrated curved display.
“Taking inspiration from an ethos we created where nature meets technology, the all-new Sportage challenges the norm with an adventurous and contemporary exterior and a carefully conceived, beautifully detailed interior,” said Karim Habib, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Design Center. “With the all-new Sportage, we were fully focused on challenging ourselves and pushing our fifth-generation SUV to a new level.”
