First official photos of the redesigned 2011 Kia Sportage have been released. The all-new Sportage is due to be launched at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show in March.
Longer, lower and wider than the outgoing model, no other details have been released about the compact crossover that now features Kia’s new design language. It is, of course, based on the 2010 Hyundai Tucson and will likely share the same engines, with options for front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive.
It will likely reach the UAE by the end of the summer, ready to shove the likes of the boring VW Tiguan and the tiny Nissan Qashqai out of existence on GCC roads. Keep track of updates in the Kia Sportage buyer guide.
Gud attempt
hey this actually looks good. better than the leaked images. the ground clearance makes the difference i guess (maybe the color too).
looks nice but pirated image
looklike like a clone work of Audi Q7 with infinity
well, its not like cars from other brands are totally original. You could easily tell a Q7 from this sportage, albeit, if you see only the lights in ur rear view mirror at night, maybe then but otherwise, its easily distinguishable from a Q7 – be it the front, back or side.
Wooww…>!!!
Fantastic Creation from KIA Motors…!!
nice rims only
Nice! Can’t wait for the interior pics. 2010 is going to be the year of some fresh new faces from Korean brands. Now only if the japanese suzuki could do something about it, that would give people a nice choice of SUVs
was there a launch event for the tucson?
crap model , i wont even take this model for free. hyundai-kia survive only for 4 years not more than that. My friend has a Hyundai tucson and whenever i see him he says i did a blunder buying this car. No resale value, NO performance, NO comfortability, and Obviously not a good ride… Applause for one more flop model by Hyundai-kia!!
Well…who cares to keep a car for more than 4 years dude… gone are the days when ppl keep sticking to their same old cars for years…
Cumon dude…start thinking fresh…Hopefully HYUNDAI – KIA will become Worlds No.1 by 2020.
Launch event for Tucson and Sonata was today, in Oman, I hear. I wasn’t invited.
overall looks good, except for the ugly rear design

I agree with you, just think of it as it is designed to be driven by people who don’t know much about cars and will not notice those things you mentioned and it will be a nice car for them….

I think your comment just shows how shallow you are and someone who puts more emphasis on badge rather than substance. You probably drive a BMW or Audi!
hyundia kia only survive 4 years – no more than that. I guess thats why every kia comes with a 7 year warranty then is it??
it looks like baby Sorento….
Rhymes,
Well I will not completely support your comments. Hyundai Tucson offcourse is a rough vehicle, but if you drive Sportage you will not tell it. They are providing the maximum for the cost, which I feels worth for what we spend.
@ Dav
7 years warranty?? I think its a marketing gimmic. You need to go a little deeper and check what all are included within this warranty, I’m sure its limited.
its 7 years from factory in EU but i dont know what it covers. In US, Kias come with a 10 year warranty for powertrain.
just a mix of various cars or cross overs
