Thankfully, AutoGuide.com‘s
spy photographers have caught the new Kia Sportage
driving on public roadways fully exposed, giving us a better look ahead of the
vehicle’s public debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. Sporting a whole new
bold look, the Sportage
is designed by Kia’s European studio in Frankfurt, Germany, with input from the
automaker’s Korean and U.S. design centers. It’s been heavily inspired by the
Provo concept, especially at the rear of the crossover with angular tail lights
and chrome accents.
The front headlights are no
longer integrated with the Sportage’s
front grille, which has also been updated to be wider and lower, giving the
front end a more prominent and powerful appearance.
More details on the 2017 Kia Sportage will be revealed when
it officially bows in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show, including
powertrain options and specifications. For now, expect a 1.6-liter turbo
four-cylinder engine under the hood mated to a dual-clutch transmission from
the current Hyundai Tucson.
