The faeclifted Kia Sportage loses some disguise since the last time we saw it earlier this month, as it continues hot climate testing in the USA.
Before you think that that new grille in the image above is new because it’s different from the one available in Malaysia and Europe, it’s not. That’s what the US market Sportage SX’s grille looks like, a sportier look to match that model’s 260 horsepower 2.0 litre turbocharged engine. There are actually two different Sportages in this photo set and the other seems to be wearing a new grille.
We also noticed that these two Sportages have two different alloy wheel designs – both are of the double spoke type of design but the space between the spokes are different. The wheel design is quite a departure from the ‘flat and shiny’ design that the current Sportage wears. We also expect some changes in the tail lamp design since it’s covered up.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Love turbocharged engine, it makes so much sense getting one, finally we can say that “theres no replacement for displacement” quote is totally wrong!
Your Camry was stolen. Now your Camry’s key is inside my pocket with my thumb print.
You cannot prove that I am the thief of your car because your Camry is burnt outside my house and there is thumb print of another person on the key.
So I will be accused of burning your Camry, which I know already that there are a lot of doubts about it (the crime of burning). Abusing experience and knowledge. Penyalahgunaa pengetahuan and pengalaman.
why the hell you talk about stolen camry here ?
I got your message..
The current G have even corrupted the society..
Please bring the 260hp engine here
it’s camoed because too hideous. vios don’t have to be camoed because it’s a looker! hahah
The front resemble the Sorento, Kia is beginning to have a more family look.
Nice….Although it look bit bulbous like been inflated.
Korean made is always good in looking. But in term of daily usage n our weather in Malaysia is hot. Is not capable to withstand for long term usage. Plus in sarawak here ive saw few korean faded n some owner facing difficulties to find spare parts. Still need some time for korean to improve. Another issue for korean car is resale value. I met a person driving kia sorento. Bought it 5 yrs ago at 170k plus. Wish to sell recently n 2nd hand shop quote at rm45k. Omg! Tat is really bad! I cant believe it.
Korean cars 5 years ago are not of the same standard as it is today. Quality wise is on par or sometimes better than some japanese/continental makes. I’ve been owning Japanese cars all along until I finally put a brave move to try a korean, a sportage to be specific. The car never fail to impress me even after almost 2 years. Never imagine I’ll be proud driving a korean car. Resale value also not as bad as older koreans (pre-Peter Shreyer model).
im maybe naive about this-but im wondering why some people prefer SUV more than D-segment car(about the same price)? is it more powerful? comfort? or else?
