The all-new Kia Sportage had its world debut at the 80th Geneva Motor Show.
Kia Motors Corporation is also displaying three examples of its latest crossover vehicle in Switzerland.
The Sportage heads an impressive Kia line-up at the show, where the company is also placing major focus on its environmentally-friendly ‘EcoDynamics’ sub-brand with the world premiere of the electric-powered Venga EV concept and the European debut of the Kia Ray ‘plug-in’ hybrid sedan concept car.
New 2011 Kia Sportage
The all-new Kia Sportage will mark a dramatic shift in design direction for the brand’s popular compact SUV when it makes its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show on 2 March, 2010.
Embodying Kia’s new-found visual dynamism the new Sportage is a fresh, bold, athletic and sport design that successfully blends the key features of an SUV – the commanding driving position, heightened sense of security and raised ground clearance – and envelopes them in a sleek and urban-friendly design with global appeal.
Longer, lower and wider than the previous generation model, the new Kia Sportage will offer more space for people and cargo, with an improved ride quality thanks to a longer wheelbase.
The all-new Kia Sportage will be available at Kia dealerships across Europe in late 2010, with a range of highly competitive diesel and gasoline engines.
