The new Kia crossover was officially unveiled as an inexpensive rival to the Toyota RAV4 and other similar models of other manufacturers. The Korean car has a bright modern design.

This is a modernized version of the popular Kia Sportage 2026 model. Previously, the crossover was shown for the local market, now it is for the United States. It remains to wait for the shortened European version. Details are reported by Motor1.

The Kia Sportage crossover will probably become a very popular car with a new design again. Traditionally, the Korean company boldly experiments with the appearance of its cars even as part of a restyling. This is exactly what happened.

The new Kia Sportage has a completely different front end. The bumpers and exterior lighting have been replaced, and new wheels have been added. The multimedia system was updated and the monitors were enlarged. The lineup includes gasoline variants (187 hp), a hybrid (231 hp) and a plug-in hybrid Kia Sportage PHEV (268 hp).

The Kia Sportage 2025 model year is equipped with a fingerprint scanner, a semi-autonomous driving system and a special Baby&Toddler mode that offers smoother ride. The price of the Kia Sportage in Korea starts at $20,600. However, the car will be more expensive on the global market. For example, the current model in the United States costs at least $27,000. This is something to consider.
