Kia said the new vehicle was developed under its new global brand transformation, “Movement that Inspires,” and "delivers more of everything." A modern, driver-centric cockpit with available dual panoramic curved display connects two screens for nearly 25 inches of digital viewing, and provides 360° Surround View Monitor with 3D View and live feed Blind-Spot View Monitor within the instrument cluster. The Sportage offers eight standard Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features. Enhanced ADAS such as FCA with Junction Turning capability & Reverse Parking Collision Avoidance Assist are available on upper trims.

The fifth-generation Sportage offers ample rear legroom and cargo capacity. Underpinned by the “N3” platform also found in the Sorento, the Sportage chassis comprises hot-stamped parts and ultra-high-strength steel for increased tensile strength and torsional stiffness, the release said. Sound absorbing and insulating materials minimize road, wind, and engine noise. Fuel-efficient and fun-to-drive Turbocharged Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid Sportage variants will launch at a later date, and pricing for those variants will be announced closer to their on-sale dates.
