Kia Sportage officially revealed

03rd February 2010

It's the Sportage that finally has the looks to go with its name! Kia has announced that the latest version of its SUV crossover will debut at the Geneva Motor Show, complete with a lower, wider stance and updated sporty styling.

The newcomer also bears a family resemblance to its bigger brother, the Kia Sorento, with the new trademark Kia-nose and a stylish coupé-like roof-line completing a muscular but compact profile.

The Korean maker announced that the new car will be longer than the model it replaces. That means that, not only will there be more space for passengers and storage, but the longer wheelbase allows for a more comfortable ride too.

Details about what will power the crossover are yet to be revealed, but the firm's 2.0-litre diesel and petrol engines are likely to feature alongside a range of smaller, more efficient units.
