Introducing: The next-generation Kia Sportage

Kia Motors revealed the first official exterior images of the all-new Kia Sportage, featuring a dynamic and strong new design. The all-new Sportage will make its global debut at the Frankfurt International Motor Show on 15 September 2015. Entering its fourth-generation, the all-new Kia Sportage features a bold, progressive design, with the vehicle’s designers creating a sense of power and agility from every angle. Echoing the contrast of smooth and sharp shapes found on some of the most iconic modern fighter jets, the Sportage creates visual harmony out of the tension between sharp, defined feature lines and smooth surfacing.

The all-new Kia Sorento comes from a long line of successful and world renowned Kia SUVs, including the Sportage, Mohave and Rockstar. July 2015 sees Kia’s cumulative global SUV sales exceed the 10 million mark, which is a staggering 30% of its total cumulative sales of 31.7 million cars, including impressive sellers such as the Picanto, cee’d and Rio. In 2015, SUV sales are increasing which thanks to the ever popular product offering from Kia, including the all-new Sorento. Already this year Kia has sold more than 490,000 SUVs around the world, which accounts for 39% of total sales.

Two sporty Chilli models have been added to the Kia Picanto range, which now features EU6-compliant engines. The Chilli variants are part of the Picanto Originals series, a rolling programme of high-specification, value-priced models changed at frequent intervals to offer buyers something out of the ordinary.       Both of the new Chilli models are 3-door cars powered by a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine developing 84bhp and 120Nm of torque. They offer buyers the option of a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 4-speed automatic which will be particularly attractive to those who do most of their driving in congested towns and cities.
