Recently, the driving line of sight learned from relevant channels that the 2022 Kia Sportage has been unveiled in the Australian market, and the new car has been released in Europe before, but the new car is different from the European standard model, and the Australian debut model size will be the same as that of other major market sales models. Korean new generation of home SUV, 1.6T + 48V + dual screen, the space is larger than the CR-V
Sportage's exterior uses Kia's latest family design language, the iconic Tiger Whistle mid-mesh, split headlights connecting the two sides, plus line-shaped LED daytime running lights, making the entire front face more integrated.
The interior of the new car directly follows the design of the long-axis version of the model, the overall has not changed much, it is still a double 12.3-inch screen dominating the overall layout, in addition, the three-frame multi-functional steering wheel, knob-type gear and other designs have also been retained, and the overall feeling is still very graded.
Coming to the side, kia Sportage's body lines are very simple and smooth, and two hard lines coupled with slightly widened front and rear fenders outline the muscular feel of the SUV. In addition to this, the addition of petal-style two-tone wheels and D-pillar ornaments adds a touch of spirituality to Sportage. Kia Sportage has a length, width and height of 4660/1865/1660mm, and a wheelbase of 2755mm, which is 115mm longer than the previous generation, so we can imagine the large space brought by the long wheelbase.
The new generation of Sportage will offer a variety of power combinations, including 1.6T gasoline, 2.0T diesel, hybrid and plug-in hybrids, including a 1.6T TGDI gasoline engine with a maximum horsepower of 180Ps and a peak torque of 265N·m, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission; and a 2.0T diesel engine with a maximum horsepower of 186Ps and a peak torque of 416N·m, matching an 8-speed automatic transmission. In addition, Kia Sportage will provide full-time four-wheel drive and electromagnetic suspension systems.
