New design, enhanced interior and advanced technologies for new Kia Sportage

The all new Kia Sportage - the fourth generation of Kia's globally-popular compact SUV - features an attractive, all new interior and exterior design, a host of advanced new technology features and greater quality.

Having made its global debut at the 2015 Frankfurt International Motor Show, the all new Sportage will go on sale across European markets during Q1 2016.

The new Sportage builds comprehensively on the success of the outgoing model, offering an innovative and sophisticated package to buyers in an increasingly competitive market. The new-look interior features high-quality materials and design integrity, as well as greater practicality and a range of technologies to improve comfort, convenience, connectivity and safety. A range of new and updated engines and transmissions will result in enhanced efficiency and performance, while ride, handling and refinement are all improved.

For the first time, a new 'GT Line' specification is available to Sportage customers, delivering all the versatility of the standard Sportage while adding greater visual and dynamic appeal to those customers that desire it.

Michael Cole, Chief Operating Officer, Kia Motors Europe, commented, "The Kia Sportage has been a major contributor to Kia's sustained growth and success across Europe in recent years. Made here in Europe, it's an incredibly important car for us. More customers than ever are turning to SUVs, and there is now greater competition in the compact segment than ever before."
