Bold, new, eye-catching features have been splashed on the Kia Sportage. Kia has revealed the latest version of its best-selling Sportage SUV ahead of the car’s launch later this year.
The Sportage now features a redesigned tiger nose radiator grille, updated alloy wheel designs, a two-spoke steering wheel from EV models, a 10-inch head-up display, dual 12.3-inch curved digital driver’s display, infotainment screen, and hidden air vents for a sleeker interior design.
The Kia Sportage will feature a refined exterior design, featuring a sculpted grille, updated LED headlights and taillights, new styled wheels, and fresh color options. These changes aim to give the Sportage an athletic and upscale appearance, making it an ideal choice for drivers seeking standout style.
The Sportage is set to feature a driver-centric layout with enhanced comfort and advanced technology. Early previews suggest a larger infotainment touchscreen with updated software, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android™ Auto, a redesigned digital instrument cluster, and enhanced connectivity and voice control systems.
The in-car infotainment system includes over-the-air updates, subscription features like remote start and cabin conditioning, two new 12.3-inch panoramic displays, and standard wireless versions of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The new 10-inch head-up display allows CarPlay and Android Auto directions to be displayed on the display, especially on hybrid and PHEV models.
The Sportage is also expected to maintain its versatile powertrain lineup, featuring a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, fuel-efficient hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, and all-wheel drive. This ensures a Sportage configuration that suits your lifestyle, whether you’re commuting or exploring Florida.
The Sportage is expected to introduce tech upgrades with advanced driver-assistive technologies such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Monitoring, Lane-Keeping Assist, Smart Cruise Control, and Highway Driving Assist (on select trims), ensuring confident navigation.
Prices and specifications for the UK market are yet to be revealed, with the car expected to arrive in showrooms in the third quarter of this year.
