Toyota RAV4 get ready: the newest Kia Sportage hits the road. Photo

The popular low-cost model Kia Sportage is in high demand worldwide and competes with compact crossovers. The main competitor is the Toyota RAV4, which will feel an increased onslaught from the modernized Korean car. It's already on the road.

The new Kia Sportage 2026 model year was shown in the photo. Something is already known about this car, although there are very few details yet. Details are reported by Carscoops. In the network showed the new Sportage with a short wheelbase. That is, this is the European version of the model - the same car is sold in the Ukrainian market.

As always, before the premiere during the driving tests, the main changes in the design of the car are hidden. In the case of the Kia Sportage, it is obvious that the front part of the body and the stern have been redesigned.

Traditionally, the Korean company boldly experiments with the appearance of its cars even within the restyling, not to mention a full-fledged generation change. Therefore, we should expect a revised front and rear, other bumpers and exterior lighting equipment.

Perhaps the architecture and interior design of the Kia Sportage 2026 will change. However, the multimedia system will definitely be updated and the monitors will be enlarged. From the technical point of view, it is expected to strengthen the emphasis on hybrid powertrains.
