Kia Sportage will also be offered with a much broader range of colors - both interior and exterior - and a wide choice of gasoline and diesel engines available with either manual or automatic gearboxes.
New standard 16-inch wheels with 215/65 R16 tires now hide larger 300mm brakes capable of decelerating the
Sportage from 100 km/h (62mph) to zero in just 41.6 meters, which is about as good as
Toyota RAV4's stopping distance.
The comfort level has also been slightly increased with the help of larger front seats and lowered rear seats, as well as thanks to reshaped side mirrors producing less aerodynamic noise.
