Kia Sportage

Exterior Design

The Kia Sportage continues the usual Kia family design features, emphasizing sportiness as well as harmony. At the front, the most noticeable feature of the Sportage is naturally the star-chained center grille. The interior of the center grille is smoked black, and the upper part of the grille is embellished with a large number of black chrome strips, which gives people a good visual impact.

In addition to the star-chained center grille, the Sportage also boasts boomerang LED daytime running lights, and underneath the daytime running lights are the vehicle's diamond-shaped headlights, which consist of intricate clusters of small lights that are quite recognizable when illuminated at night.

The length, width and height of the Kia Sportage are 4670mm, 1865mm and 1680mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2755mm, a size that can be said to be a one-of-a-kind presence in a compact SUV. Kia Sportage dimensions compared with its main competitors Honda CR-V, Volkswagen Touyue and other models, whether it is length, width, height and wheelbase, have achieved a full range of leading.

Vehicles use 19-inch petal-like wheels, to be honest, the style of petal-like wheels in a few years ago can still attract the attention of young consumers, but put into the current market environment, not inevitably some "earth". With 19-inch petal-like wheels with tires is Nexen ROADIAN GTX series tires, the main quiet effect.

On the side of the body, the biggest feature of the Sportage is the large-scale use of smoked black treatment, both mirrors and window trims are painted in smoked black to enhance the sense of texture. It is worth mentioning that the use of smoked black paint compared to the direct use of black chrome trim, the biggest advantage is that the vehicle does not appear chrome trim brought about by the abrupt feeling.

At the rear of the vehicle, the Kia Sportage has a small spoiler at the top to reduce wind resistance. The vehicle uses a hidden exhaust layout and the taillights are winged. The lamps on both sides are connected by a black strip, which enhances the overall look of the rear of the vehicle.

Interior Design

The Kia Sportage, like many compact SUVs in the $200,000 class, uses a large dual-screen design in order to enhance the technological ambience to attract the interest of young consumers. However, the Kia Sportage's dual-screen has a better reflective effect due to its curved design.

The interior of the Kia Sportage uses soft materials on a large scale, the downside is that these soft materials do not have enough padding inside, so although it looks okay, it really feels average to the touch.

The interior has a standard-sized three-spoke multifunction steering wheel with perforations on both sides to enhance grip. However, when driving the car, we found that the steering wheel is designed to be too high, which can obstruct the view of the LCD instrument cluster in front of us.

The vehicle's full LCD dashboard has a 12.3-inch, the default UI interface is relatively retro, but thanks to the ability to change the theme, young consumers can also choose their favorite UI interface. The vehicle's in-car system is the Kia Connecct intelligent connectivity system, and the biggest selling point of this in-car system is its responsiveness.
