Kia Europe has revealed the first official sketches of the all new European market Sportage.

This will be the first time in the history of the model that it is getting a dedicated European variant.

The European Sportage will feature a more compact and adventurous profile, hinting at heightened levels of agility and performance seen as ideal for European roads.

Designed to be the most dynamic and stylish SUV in its segment, the Sportage will feature a muscular stance and a strong yet refined silhouette with crisp, taught character lines that ripple across the surfaces.

The sketches hint at a bold front for the Sportage, with a detail-orientated black grille graphic spanning the width of the face. A fresh interpretation of Kia's iconic floating signature Tiger Nose grille combines with distinctive boomerang-shaped LED daytime running lamps and matrix LED headlamps.

At the rear, powerful and broad shoulder lines meet slim rear LED lamps flanked by the new Kia logo. A unique black rear bumper design further emphasises the Sportage's sporty, youthful character.

Kia's all new European market Sportage will make its debut during a live digital launch event on 1 September 2021.
