Here are leaked photos of the 2016 Kia Sportage – courtesy of Bobaedream, Autospy and AutoTribune – seen here way ahead of its scheduled Frankfurt debut. Officially, only three design sketches of the next-generation SUV have been released, but here it is in full, both inside and out.
Still recognisable as a Sportage (the side profile and window line is very similar to the current model), the new upcoming SUV looks to receive bold new looks, including a prominent Tiger grille that is completely separated from the high-mounted headlights.
The rear appears very sharp too, with slim wraparound LED taillamps that are positioned high along the car’s belt line. Certainly looks good with the large wheels, big tailgate spoiler and dual exhaust pipes as pictured here, doesn’t it?
Inside, it’s as per what we’ve seen before. The dashboard design is clearly a big departure from the previous model, adopting a more mature and upmarket layout as seen on the latest Kia Sorento and Carnival. All very promising, don’t you agree?
Current third-gen Kia Sportage facelift
Nice rear, nice interior, ugly face.
Looks like after Schreyer is no longer directly involved in design, Kia’s sense of aesthetics has gone down the drain
OMG…P.Cayenne Fxxk T.Harrier, then have this new baby Kia Sportage….hahahah
Nope, interior looks ugly to me
when KIA tiger get a nose job in korea to become a Porsche..
KIA Katak!
macan? chayenne?
the exterior front design has shadow of new porsche cayenne and rear part look similar to toyota harrier.
front face is porsh wannabe, rear view is new harrier wannabe. That sportage need a lot of nose job for the new facelift
Super fugly rotten cabbage
OMG, the current model also cannot trade in. This new one come. Good luck
really? i would like to buy it at 30k for 2011 model but i couldnt find any, nvm, what about 50k? no too, 80k? no too, damn ….. only 100k @ 2011 car
yeap, where is this myth of low resale value….i’m being looking for a low price 2nd sportage or tucson(2011) but all selling quite high at abt 100-110k?? damned, where can i can one at 60k?? i tot korean cars dont hv resale value…just a myth it seems
Can the Korean stop copying others for once? That’s Porsche Cayenne and inside too!!
sorry to say that the front looks like Macan :(
ferrari 458 kinda headlamp
overall , quite a good job
This time Hyundai wins I guess. Hyundai’s new Tucson much more beautiful to me.
WTH, the current one looked so good.
Then again, these days, it’s not easy i guess, you launch a new car with designs and lines evolving from the previous model, people say you lack imagination, you do something revolutionary, you run the risk of ending up like this.
Hats off to Alfa Romeo and Mazda for their timeless designs.
Too bad about the Brera though. Saw a rare red one in US and its quite possibly the best proportioned hatcback ever made from all angles! <3
i prefer the front of the current model wwwwaaaaayyyyyyyy more than the new one. it’s just weird, and it reminds me of the similarly-ugly subaru b9 tribeca suv.
why they want to put the grille and make it so big below the headlights??
The rear and inside look so good….
But man is that front a complete mess.
Kia Sportage always have nice design.
but the performance any idea ?
Porsche wannabe front.
dugong resurrected..now from a different brand and bigger body
That looks so much like a porsche macan, which is not a bad thing…
So sad to see KIA is going to where Hyundai was in the 90s: copy and paste. The Italian designers they have probably quit his job.
With this product KIA has officially lost their originality. The old Sportage looks much much BETTER!
….What on earth happened to this car. Something feels very, VERY off with the front of the car.
so Kia Sportage was in bed with Subaru Tribeca..?
Centre dash’s AC and screen design copy Honda accord.
Unfortunately, this isn’t something I would call “pretty” or “good-looking”. It just went too far.
Headlights looks like an old generation Myvi..ha ha
sometimes these designs look way better when seen in real . pictures sometimes dont really give the full picture if u know what i mean….i think i like the design!
Nice sub..love the new design.
Kiayenne……
mix felling…. the front I think abit over cook.
Rear looks good, interior is an improvement over the current gen Sportage but the front has some issues. Better luck with the facelift in 3 years KIA!
Anyone knows if there will be discount offered (how much discount? and when?) for the current 2015 model once the 2016 model comes out? Thinking of getting my first SUV…. TIA
Porsche 918’s…..spotlight!!
This particular KIA might actually have bad RV in the future.
WTF..why no just alter the current design to look better..why oh why look like this !!
You all narrow minded sheeps la saying it looks like a porsche. Interior? no it doesnt. Exterior? front? only headlights got but still very far off. Go do side by side comparison first la
Don’t expect me to like Korean car Brands as your trash, since then the interiors of Hyundai and Kia are cheap but overpriced , first this the body of Porsche , the tail light of évoque, the front looks like a toad that swallows humans and the interiors were cheap as ugly as Chinese Cars from JAC 4R3 , I’ll bleed out my money to Toyota . PERIOD
