The new Kia Sportage has made its global debut. The 5th-gen of the SUV is built on a new architecture and has a design that is inspired by nature. The new vehicle also promises to provide class-leading interior space and has highly advanced safety features.
The front fascia of the new Kia Sportage flaunts a wide black grille that is similar to what we have seen on the Kia Seltos. The new SUV also has boomerang-shaped LED DRLs that enhances the overall front look of the vehicle. Apart from that, the Matrix LED headlamps are also present. One of the key elements of the new Sportage’s side profile is the alloy wheels. They will be available in 7 designs, colours, sizes, and finishes.

One of the key features inside the cabin of the new Sportage is the beautifully sculpted integrated curved display with a thin touchscreen pad and finely detailed air vents.
