Commenting on the award win, Mr. Soon-Nam Lee, the President of Kia Middle East & Africa (MEA) Regional HQ said: “The all-new Sportage has gained tremendous popularity here in the Middle East among both customers and motoring experts.”
Mr. Lee added:“The Kia Sportage has played a key role in driving Kia Motors’ sustained growth and success around the world in recent years, with more than 1.6 million of the third-generation model sold worldwide between 2010 and 2015. Leading the way in terms of its refinement, innovation, distinctive design and high material quality, the new Sportage will help Kia reinforce its position among the market leaders in an increasingly hard-fought and crowded segment.”
The fourth-generation Kia Sportage features a bold new look, with the vehicle’s designers creating a sense of sporty and powerful energy from every angle. The design of the new Sportage has been led by Kia’s European design studio in Frankfurt, Germany, with input from the brand’s Namyang, Korea and Irvine, California design centers. The all-new Sportage creates visual harmony out of the tension and contrast between its sharp, defined feature lines and smooth surfacing.
