The compact crossover battle is about to heat up as Kia has released a trio of teaser images depicting the all-new Sportage. Mechanically related to the latest-generation Hyundai Tucson, the new SUV from South Korea shows off a good chunk of its angular styling representing a significant departure from the outgoing model.<\/p>\n
Some are probably surprised to see the fifth-generation Sportage looks nothing like its predecessor and features quirky headlights with a boomerang-shaped LED daytime running light. There aren’t any visible door handles in these teasers, but it’s only because Kia wanted to make the side profile look cleaner. The actual production model will have them and we’re tempted to believe the real vehicle won’t look as sleek as this.<\/p>\n

The greenhouse has also been dramatically changed and it now features a wide quarter glass aft the rear doors. It could be a sign the 2022 Sportage has grown in size, especially judging by how big the rear fenders are. The back is home to fully redesigned taillights that meet in the middle courtesy of what may be a light bar as wide as the tailgate.<\/p>\n
