2011 Kia Sportage revealed ahead of Geneva Motor Show

[AVANTI R5]

Kia revealed today the all-new Sportage, showing a dramatic shift in design direction when it will make it official debut in March at the Geneva Motor Show. Clearly inspired by the 2011 Kia Sorento, the all-new Sportage is a fresh, bold, athletic and sporty design that blends the key features of an SUV. The new car is lower, longer and even wider than the previous generation model and will offer more space for people and cargo, with improved ride quality thanks to a longer wheelbase. “Sportage was the car that really made the breakthrough for Kia in Europe and the all-new version will make people sit up and take notice just as the original did. I am convinced it will begin a remarkable new chapter in the Kia story.” said Michael Cole, Managing Director of Kia Motors (UK) Ltd. The world premiere of the all-new Sportage will take place at 08.45 on 2 March, 2010 on the Kia Stand (No 6441) in Hall 6 at the Geneva International Motor Show.
