Next gen Kia Sportage leaked ahead of September debut

These are the first images of the next generation Kia Sportage, leaked online ahead of its world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show in mid-September.

Set to hit showrooms worldwide in early 2016, the fourth generation Kia Sportage is penned by brand’s European design centre located in Frankfurt. It features a dramatically-sculpted bodywork with a bolder and more dynamic design.

Inside, the all-new Sportage is said to marry simple, modern style with rich material quality for Kia’s most refined, highest-quality cabin to date.

The new Sportage will use similar drivetrains as the latest Hyundai Tucson. This means a range of petrol and diesel engines will be available in either 2WD or 4WD form. Transmission options will include a six-speed manual, six-speed automatic or seven-speed dual clutch automatic.
