2016 Kia Sportage revealed ahead of Frankfurt debut - new interior pictures - Autocar
The fourth-generation Kia Sportage has been revealed with a brand new look ahead of the car’s official public debut at this month’s Frankfurt motor show, with these latest pictures showing the car's interior for the first time. The new Sportage gets totally new styling at the side and rear, although the biggest changes are at the front. The headlights are no longer integrated into the grille, as they were on the third-generation Sportage, but now sit higher up on the side of the bonnet. This leaves the now familiar Kia nose, which features on the majority of the company’s range, with a stand-alone grille. Read our Kia Sportage prototype first drive here. It also gets a larger lower grille, with a silver coloured kickplate on the lower edge. At the side, the Sportage retains its traditional SUV-like styling but has a marginally more raked profile than before. The company says the look at rear of the car is inspired by the 2013 Kia Provo, with a strong line running horizontally across the bootlid between the two tail-light clusters. UK Kia boss Paul Philpott said this was partly as a result of feedback from owners of the current car. Source: www.autocar.co.uk
