Kia Motors has revealed the all-new Kia Sportage ahead of its public debut
at Germany's Frankfurt Motor Show next month.
Entering its fourth-generation, the all-new Kia Sportage features a bold, progressive design, with the vehicle’s
designers providing a sense of power and agility from every angle. Echoing the contrast of smooth and sharp shapes found
on some of the most modern fighter jets, the Sportage makes visual harmony out of the tension between sharp, defined
feature lines and smooth surfacing.

The ‘face’ of the all-new Sportage represents the biggest change to the car’s design, with the car’s headlamps no
longer integrated with the grille for the new model, instead sweeping back along the outer edges of the more
sharply-detailed bonnet and bolder wheel arches. Immediately recognisable as a Kia, the Sportage’s lower, wider
‘tiger-nose’ grille adds more volume to the lower half of the Sportage’s face, resulting in a more imposing appearance
and a more stable-looking stance.
The all-new Sportage is characterised by its sportier, more raked profile. From the side, the all-new Sportage retains
the swept-back silhouette of the outgoing model, with a roofline that tapers slightly towards the rear of the car, longer
front overhangs, shorter rear overhangs and longer wheelbase. Smooth bodywork, bolder wheel arches and sharp lines endow
the Sportage with a more dynamic, 'muscular' look.
At the rear, the horizontal forms and surface volume emphasise the car’s width and give the compact SUV a more stable
appearance. Inspired by the 2013 Kia Provo concept car, the slim combination lamps are joined by a strip that runs the
width of the rear, while turn signals and reversing lights are separated, relocated lower down to add more visual weight
and a greater sense of stability to the lower half of the car.
