First official pix of new Kia Sportage

We already saw how the new Kia Sportage looks like in clear view thanks toEU patent applications mid last month, but here are the first official teaser photos from Kia, which they posted on their Kia Buzz blog.


Both an orange and a silver car is pictured. The teaser actually includes both the North American spec and the Europe spec. The North American spec is the one with amber signal lamps as required by their laws (pictured above) while the Europe spec has fully clear lenses. Looks pretty good, like a smaller and stouter version of the Sorento!

The new Sportage will be longer, lower and wider than the previous generation model. It will also have a longer wheelbase which will likely translate to a roomier interior and a plusher ride. It will premiere at the Geneva show in March.

Look after the jump for the full pix.
