The new KIA Sportage 2022 has been presented to the world and it has got everybody talking. The Sportage will fashion an all-new design, with the latest images suggesting the brand’s new EV6 electric flagship will have some influence on the design and style of the new car.
The Kia Sportage is an all-new alternative to the likes of the Volkswagen Tiguan, Hyundai Tucson and Nissan Qashqai. Along with its new design, it has also been fitted with a modern interior and even a range of engines (hybrids included).
Throughout this article, we are going to give you the run-down of the new design, when it should be available to the public and what Kia Sportage lease deals you could find!
What’s New With The Kia Sportage Design?
The new Kia Sportage is the fifth generation of compact SUV from KIA and this latest model has been a comprehensive renovation. There have been some mixed reviews about KIA’s new polarizing design but we are impressed by the car brands bid to create a totally different form for a new-generation model. With Kia looking to shift to the ‘Opposites United‘ design language that started with the Kia EV6, we are expecting a big success for the 2022 Sportage.
Some of the most notable changes are located at the front of the fifth-generation Sportage. Firstly, one of the more obvious changes is the reworked version of the Tiger Nose grille. This classic KIA design is now called the “Digital Tiger Face”. The black mesh grille spans across the width of the front of the car and the boomerang-shaped DRLs separate it from the low-mounted headlamps. While the new car looks arguably less like a wild animal it’s still plenty sporty for a family SUV.
The body of the fifth-generation Sportage presents a more dynamic and sporty line that accentuates the clean body surface. The global model has the option of a black roof and a new wheel design highlights more of the profile. The beltline has been raised and you will find that the exterior mirrors are now directly connected to the door panel.
The Interior Of The New KIA Sportage
The 2022 Sportage gets a much more modern-looking interior than some of its predecessors. The current two-screen set-up has been left behind with the brand going in favour of an expansive, curved digital display that spans most of the dashboard. This new, larger screen has been compared to the dual-screen setups you find in many Mercedes cars. Even the air vents have had a revamp and have been designed to highlight the dashboard, along with the two-tone cabin.
Impressively, the front seats come with built-in coat hooks and even have a number of handy storage cubbies throughout the new Sportage’s cabin.
What About The Safety Features?
The 2022 Kia Sportage is a spacious SUV that is a great car for sporty individuals and families alike. But how about the technology-assisted safety features? Here are just a few of the features modern drivers like searching for that you will find:
– High Beam Assist
– Blind Spot Collision Warning
– Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
– Driver Attention Warning
– Lane Departure Warning
– Lane Keeping Assist
– Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
Kia Sportage Leases
Unfortunately, the new Sportage will not be launched in the UK until after September once the final specs have been announced. This does not mean that you shouldn’t look at Kia Sportage leases.
There are a large number of competitive Kia Sportage personal lease deals on offer, which will work in your favour if you are considering leasing. Typically, a personal lease will run over 24, 36 or 48 months and during that time regular, fixed monthly payments are made. At the end of the contract it is just a case of handing the car back, and possibly starting the whole process again with another brand new car. That’s not compulsory though, and you will be under no further obligation after your Kia Sportage lease has run its course.
