Embodying Kia's new-found visual dynamism the new Sportage is a fresh, bold, athletic and sporty design that successfully blends the key features of an SUV - the commanding driving position, heightened sense of security and raised ground clearance - and envelopes them in a sleek and urban-friendly design with global appeal.

Longer, lower and wider than the previous generation model, the new Kia Sportage will offer more space for people and cargo, with an improved ride quality thanks to a longer wheelbase.

The all-new Kia Sportage will be available at Kia dealerships across Europe in late 2010, with a range of highly competitive diesel and gasoline engines.
